B40-4704; 1940's Blouses

9-piece pattern originally by mail order pattern company Anne Adams, these two sleeveless blouse styles are in junior sizes.  Style A has a peplum and sweetheart neckline with an embroidered motif (not included in this pattern) that is applied before the blouse pieces are sewn together.  The center back closes with a zipper.  Style B buttons up the back and the bodice is gathered above the bust into a shoulder yoke. Each style uses just one yard of fabric for sizes 13 through 23.
