1948 Dress. Bust 96 cm (37.8")

Also available as a PDF pattern

This is a 1948 dress with a wide yet soft dropped shoulder line. The neckline opens at the front to support a high, shaped collar with a centre-back seam.
The fitted waist is higher at the front than at the back. The top of the side skirt slants down towards the back and has two decorative buttons at the front. The seams joining the main skirt sections are top-stitched for added effect. The back view reveals that the centre back is fitted and the back of the skirt is cut on the cross grain. The slim-fitting sleeves have narrow, turned-back cuffs at the wrists.
