Very interesting that it must have passed through Betty Piester's hands.

How about creating a pattern and recording its other particulars (the gore colors, fabric type [someone at a fabric store could identify the type & weave], shroud line length and type, etc.)? That and a copy of the 'chute instructions (if the instructions for the "sewing required" one are online somewhere, or if someone has them) would comprise sellable "Retro-Repro" items!
