PATTERN 9484 Being a Good Mixer always did guarantee popularity but It took Marian Martin to discover what it could do to popularise the old reliable “wrap-around!” No longer can the stout claim it her “very own,” for even the real young and slim will recognise the flattery of a two tab collar, and the practicality of the deep adjustable wrap. A most accom modating pocket we call it—and very free and easy sleeves! Notice you can have brief caps and no collar if you like it that way. Sturdy washable cottons are most sensible—a bit of organdy ruffling most flattering. Complete, Diagrammed Marian Mar tin Sew Chart included.
