This pattern was manufactured by May Manton Fashion Co. circa 1917. Several friends and Past Patterns researched May Manton Fashion Co.'s catalogs to find the exact date of the pattern publication but none were found for the years 1917 through 1919. If you find May Manton Fashion Co.'s catalogs for those years please contact Past Patterns so that we may finalize the research.

The only instructions for constructing the pattern were printed on the front side edge of the envelope in the statement, "For quantity of material, directions and diagrams for cutting see reverse side of envelope." No separate construction sheet was included with any of the three patterns. We have copied instructions from contemporary sewing books and added illustrations where they were needed. It is an easy pattern to sew. The details are left to the individual and historian who knows what this uniform pattern is.

The pattern was issued in three sizes originally: Small 10 years, Medium 14 years, and Large, 18 years. Past Patterns added the sizes 12 and 16. Only the description of the contents was printed on the envelope so we have given it the number 126 for your convenience.

Suggested fabrics: No fabric suggestions were printed on the pattern envelope.
