Note
This is the same style as the linen blazer: "The 8-Hour Blazer" sold 20,000 the first week, and over a million that year - more than any other sewing pattern had ever sold. It was the first to use fusible interfacing and the guide was the first written by a licensee and not the pattern company. The blazer was displayed at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in NYC in an exhibition Dreams on Paper  about the history of paper patterns.
