1941 Dress. Bust 120 cm (47"). PDF pattern.

A 1940s-style vest dress with an A-line skirt. The original design featured a contrasting front panel with buttons and welt pockets. The waist is accentuated by a belt sewn into the front seams which fastens at the back. The fitted sleeves also have markings for a shorter version. This design is representative of the era's typical style. Although practical, the design can easily be transformed with colour blocking, as shown in the original sketch. Using different fabrics demonstrates a dressmaker's ability to be economical by reusing small remnants to create a remarkable garment.
