1941 Dress. Bust 102 cm (40")

This is a sewing pattern for a 1941 summer afternoon dress. It features a curved, V-shaped yoke that connects to gathered bodice panels. The four-gore skirt flares out in an A-line shape to create a flattering vintage silhouette. Short puff sleeves complete the classic aesthetic. The back yoke fastens with buttons and the left side seam has a placket or zipper. In the original sketch, the dress is styled with a traditional high, round hat to create an authentic 1940s look.

This offer is for a printed paper pattern.
