1941 Dress in 96 cm (37.8") bust

Also available as a PDF pattern

An afternoon dress that is styled in the 'jacket-form' and featuring large pockets. The high neckline, buttons and the small belt decoration make the front interesting and stylish! While this dress, with some pattern adjustments and extra facings, it could be made as a suit of separate skirt and top.
The front side panels have large pockets that lay over the skirts - and they may or may-not have been attached. This is quite an era-specific design; therefore, I present the pattern in its original form for experienced dressmakers to style and interpret.

For these body measurements:

• 1.5 cm (5/8") seam allowances.
• Original notations on the pattern pieces are in German and English.
• Guide with original information and written instructions*, in English only.
  
• Links to our online library of helpful sewing references.
• Printed on 40-GSM semi-transparent paper.
  

*Sewing experience required, because the instructions are without diagrams.
