1950s tunic set pattern

Butterick 5655 in misses size 16 (bust 34, hip 37); from 1951.

All the rage in 1951 -- a pencil skirt topped by a long, flared tunic. Button front top has kimono sleeves in full or 3/4 lengths; shown with purchased belts. Slim skirt has side vents.

This printed pattern has been partially used and is complete. The skirt pieces have been used; the tunic pieces are uncut.
