1943 Dress D40-5179

D40-5179; 1943 Dress

10-piece hand-drafted pattern originally by McCall, the flattering, form-fitting top is another take on the shirtwaist style with or without a collar. The top has long, 3/4 (bracelet length) or short sleeves. The pleated skirt takes the appearance of a separate, but is actually an unusual dropped style for the 40s stitched to the top making for a comfy one-piece dress. Border-print fabrics are well accommodated with this style!

Size:

Size 16 fits 34" bust, 28" waist, 37" hip. 1/2" seams are given.

PATTERN NOT IN YOUR SIZE? Because this is a single-size pattern, an additional schematic showing where to adjust the pattern pieces with instructions on how to go about it is included.
