I’m thinking about a fast way to make the tucks.  Wondering if my antique tucking attachment is the best tool for this?  Will run a few experiments this week to see if it will work.  Sewers in 1912 had to try to make some shortcuts themselves.  I think the neckline on the front especially of this pattern will maybe fit a dowel rod when it is tucked and finished.  Will need to check that.  Working on this makes me think of my grandmother who was under 5 feet and less than 100 pounds in her heyday.  This probably would have fit her in its origianl size.
