1957 Suit. Bust 104 cm (41")

This is a classic mid-1950s suit pattern. The jacket has a shawl collar and short, wide lapels, and buttons up to just above the bust line. The front and back feature princess-line seams, as well as a centre back seam. As shown in the original fashion photograph, the collar and pocket flaps are trimmed with fur. The hip pockets are purely decorative, but real inside pockets could be added instead. The sleeves are finished with turned-back cuffs. The skirt is a slim-fit pencil style with a back pleat.

This offer is for a printed paper pattern.
