1930s Art Deco Crochet Evening or Wedding Dress Pattern – Bust 34

Step back into the elegance of the 1930s with this beautifully simple yet striking crochet evening
dress. The design is worked in an effective stitch pattern that creates a flattering, flowing silhouette,
allowing the timeless style of the era to take centre stage.

Soft ruffled shoulders add a romantic finish, bringing gentle movement and period charm to the
design. With its graceful lines and understated detailing, this dress would also make a beautiful
choice for a 1930s-style wedding dress.

The original pattern was made using Fleisher’s Petite Bouclette yarn and worked with a No. 4
(2.00 mm) crochet hook. Although this yarn is now discontinued, historical references indicate
it was approximately 140 yards (128 metres) per ball, which can help when choosing a suitable
modern substitute.

The finished garment is sized to fit a US vintage size 16, measuring approximately a 34-inch
bust and 27-inch waist. This is an original American vintage crochet pattern, offering an
authentic fit and construction true to the period.
