Eretria Blouse Waist

This pattern was originally published in 1896 by the Demorest Pattern Company.

The full bloused front and the bishop sleeves can be shirred or smocked. The blouse is hung on a form fitting, boned lining which closes at the center front. The blouse itself closes at the left front. Make a matching waist belt and neck stock with bows in the back as illustrated.

The pattern is multi-sized 10 through 16. Sizes 10-12 require 3-1/2 Yds., sizes 14-16 require 3-3/4 Yds. 45 inch wide silk pongee for a soft romantic look or Honan silk or cotton calico (starched after making) for a crisp look.
