Hello fellow vintage sewists! I need a favor!! I pulled out Butterick 6081 today to start a muslin, and I’m missing the back bodice piece! Wouldn’t usually be a big deal, but the shawl collar sort of wraps around from the front and attaches with darts, and is much more complicated than just substituting a back from another pattern (as I found out from fussing with it all afternoon). I’m thinking if I could just see how the neckline is drafted, I can recreate it myself. Anyone have this pattern tucked away in their collection, and who wouldn’t mind snapping a quick photo for me?!
Thanks ever so much!!

I have it, and also in bust 32. (But mine shows a yellow dress on the right — interesting!) I could trace off the back bodice and mail it to you if you’d like! It might take me a day or two to unearth it from my collection, but I should be able to have it in the mail by the weekend at latest! If you’d prefer a photograph of the piece, I can of course do that instead. Drop me an email and let me know!
