The Flossie Potter "Turn of the Century Shirtwaists" pattern was inspired by magazine sketches advertizing ladies' shirtwaists from the late 1800s to early 1900s. During that period, styles changed dramatically -- from oversized puffed sleeves to close-fitting ones, and from high collars to collarless.
With that in mind, the pattern pieces were crafted to be interchangeable, so twelve combinations can be made from just this one pattern!
Choose the bodice style.
Choose the sleeve style.
Choose a collar or collarless.
