Closer to Our Hearts sontag pattern

This is an historically inspired Sontag.

The instructions are given for the size listed, but as with historical garments and accessories, this pattern is more of a recipe.

This pattern includes guideline charts to help with extending the patterning over shaping. The entire Sontag is not charted and you will need to be able to extend established patterning over shaping.
