1941 Dress. Bust 102 cm (40")

Also available as a PDF pattern

A 1941 summer afternoon dress sewing pattern featuring a curved, V-shaped yoke that connects to gathered bodice panels. The skirt is a four-gore design with an A-line flare for a flattering vintage silhouette. Short puff sleeves complete the classic look.
The back yoke fastens with buttons, and the left side seam includes a placket or zipper for easy dressing. In the original sketch, the dress is styled with a traditional high, round hat for an authentic 1940s finish.
