That 1950's Vogue pattern on page 51 is back in print. It has the right bust and torso seamlines. You'll have to figure out how to combine the lower bodice with the upper bodice of a cap sleeve shirt. Unless you have a sloper, then just trace off the top. I'm in love with the jacket on page 48. I can't figure how to draft the sleeves "kimono" style, but I did find some 1940ish instructions on how to add a large cowl to a sleeve cap on a set-in pattern. We'll have to swap photo's.
Thank you so much for that information! I'm gooing to hunt it down the first chance I get today. I can definitely adjust things with the help of a pattern. Sounds like you can too. Good luck with your project . Keep us in mind when you finish and post a picture!
Best, Disha
