1941 Dress 108 cm (42.5") bust

Also available as a PDF pattern

1940s style afternoon dress. Featuring a V-neckline and gathers over the bust-line. The fitted waist joins an A-line pleated skirt and the ¾ length sleeves are slim fitting. The original sketches show the dress made in two very different fabrics, which shows how the design is very versatile depending on how you would style the outfit.  One picture shows a casual beach setting, the other with hat and shoes for town.

Available in one original size.
