Vintage 1940s Knitting Pattern for Ladies Jacket and Skirt | Bust 32-34

This beautifully detailed 1940s two-piece dress captures the refined, feminine elegance of
the era. The jacket is worked mainly in stocking stitch, with garter stitch bands at the front
trimmed with delicate little bows. All edges are finished neatly in crochet, giving it that
perfect vintage touch, making this a project best suited for those with some knitting
experience.

The skirt is worked in four panels on two needles, creating a graceful shape while
remaining a relatively simple knit.
