A bias cut dress from 1941 with a gathered bust and collar. Long or short sleeves have an internal ruffle stiffener at the cap and there is a half belt in the back for shaping. The long sleeves have zipper closures at wrist. Additional pattern pieces have been provided for the front interfacing and sleeve stiffener. The pattern also includes pieces and instructions to recreate the neck bow as shown on the inspiration pattern.

PDF versions include a copy shop print version as well as a letter/A4 version that you can print out at home. A picture of the inspiration pattern has been provided. The pattern has been scanned and graded from the original inspiration pattern. As vintage sizing has been used, I recommend making a muslin for fitting purposes.

The pattern is available in individual sizes as listed below.
