The official pattern description: "When youngsters start on their initial tour of discovery they must have some serviceable dresses which can stand wear and tear. This crocheted dress is brimming with style and originality. The clever yoke and tiny puffed sleeves are the epitome of daintiness. The ribbons thru the hem of the skirt also are new style points, and they are repeated around the sleeves and in the center of the front yoke".
