This is a vintage knitting pattern for the Country Holiday dress, no. 2897. This dress has a lot more positive ease than other 1940s knitting patterns, with a bodice gathered into the yoke and three quarter length sleeves. The pattern is taken from the Sun-Glo Knitting Book Series 73. This book is from the 1940s and features women’s frocks, or jacket and skirt combinations. 


The size is for a 32-34 inch bust, however includes instructions on how to alter the sizes with choices from a 36” bust, 40” bust or 44” bust.
