1940s Tea Dress Pattern – Vintage Wartime Sewing Pattern – Bust 36, Gathered Skirt

A classic 1940s wartime Tea Frock pattern with a semi-fitted bodice featuring upper and lower
panels and a gathered skirt. The design can be made with either 3/4 length sleeves or gathered
short sleeves.

Like many wartime patterns, it was designed with fabric flexibility in mind due to material
shortages. It works well with a range of fabrics such as viscose, crepe, or lightweight cottons.

Sized to fit Bust 36 inches and Hip 40 inches. No waist measurement is provided, as the waist
is fitted and adjusted during construction, which was typical for patterns of this period.

Skill level: Intermediate. Step-by-step instructions are included, along with a helpful
sewing guide.
