This is for PRINTED PATTERN- Mailed to you. E-Pattern download is available in a separate listing in my store. Named after my grandmother's cousin who was a factory war worker during WWII, the Phyllis Air Raid Suit is a Wearing History Resto-vival pattern based on a rare original extant pattern from the 1940's.  These were also called "Siren Suits". Includes size 30" bust through 42" bust, all in the same packet. The original description reads: "A well-fitted one piece air raid suit or coverall that's easy to slip into.  You'll find it a most suitable costume for defense work and outdoor activity." I offer photo tutorials on this site to aid in construction! With patience, and the use of the photo tutorials, an intermediate sewist may attempt this pattern. Although this may not seem difficult at first glance, this pattern is very challenging, even for experienced sewists.  It uses a lot of menswear techniques like flat felled seams and button plackets.  It also has buttons up both side
