The garment is unlined and features princess seams and a nautical-type square collar. Braid trim around the bottom and collar is optional. You can just hem the edge or finish it with bias binding. The jacket would look just as wonderful with an embroidery motif in place of the braid!

The skirt is a long flared skirt with an attractive overlay piece that wraps just past the side around to the back on the left side.  It is a perfect opportunity to embellish the edge of the overlay piece to emphasize the diagonal line the edge creates.

The pattern pieces are slightly flared but the lower edge circumference of the skirt reflects the limited activity that women had in the teens. The skirt is gathered at the waist and has a left side placket opening. There are optional draped pieces to add interest at the side seams.
