This 1951 dress has a square neckline with double collar and tucks at the waistline. The skirt has pleated panels over the hips. The dress can be made with capped sleeves or loose sleeves that can be worn pushed up. The pattern includes custom shoulder pads and a covered belt.

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.
