Misses 8-16. The introduction of "the horseless carriage" into American life at the dawn of the 20th century presented ladies with a dilemma in dressing: how to protect their fancy, feminine apparel from the dust and grime of motoring in a open automobile? The smart and sensible solution was a loose-fitting unlined coat called, fittingly, a "duster". Our original duster possesses a silhouette so simple, yet so subtly fitted, that it can take its place in any contemporary wardrobe. Our sewing pattern features flared princess seams, double-breasted front, and classic notched collar and lapels which lend a traditionally tailored fit and look. Curved two-piece sleeves with shaped cuffs add a vintage touch. Generous patch pockets have shaped flaps. View A is a contemporary street length, low-calf length on a 5'6 tall person. View B falls to the ankle and preserves
