Also available as PDF patterns

This is an afternoon dress pattern from the late 1930s. This dress features fabulous, voluminous long sleeves. The bodice has two tiers of gathers and a front fastening. The waist is accentuated by a wide belt similar to a cummerbund. The half-circle skirt of the dress will flow beautifully. Interestingly, the centre front has a closure that is difficult to see in the original picture; alternatively, the front could be cut on the fold.
