Description
Get this 1930s Day Dress pattern and be gorgeous by dinnertime!
Based on an original pattern from the late 1930s, this simple day dress shows the beginnings of the 1940s style to come. Short puffed sleeves and wide shoulders are the hallmarks of this design. A center back pleat on the blouse adds interest. Center front and back pleats on the skirt allow for freedom of movement. It’s swingin’!
Reconstructing History patterns are different from other reproduction patterns!
We don’t just photocopy old patterns and sell them to you. We use the original patterns as a basis. Then we grade the pattern in modern sizes, up to 48″ bust and 40″ waist, so they’ll fit far more sizes than the original patterns ever did. And we don’t just stick you with the old vague instructions either. Kass personally goes through each pattern, improving the instructions, modernizing the vocabulary and adding in all those things that the old pattern companies assumed their customers knew. Yet we don’t remove the flavour of the original pattern, so you can truly experience using a vintage pattern without all the trouble of resizing and “translating” it.
All sizes (busts 28″ to 48″) come in the same envelope. Also included are assembly instructions, embellishment suggestions, and the extensive historical notes you’ve come to expect from Reconstructing History.
