This charming vintage dress pattern features beautiful puff sleeves and offers the option of long
or short sleeves, so you can choose the look you prefer. A sweet Peter Pan collar adds a classic
feminine touch, while the ribbed waistline creates a flattering fitted shape that was so popular
in 1940s fashion.
The dress is worked in 3-ply fingering yarn, giving it a lovely lightweight feel while still showing
off the textured stitch detail. The original pattern used 18 skeins (approximately 18 oz / 511 g)
of yarn. You will also need a pair of 3.75 mm (No. 9) knitting needles and 2.75 mm (No. 12)
needles, along with a crochet hook for finishing and three small buttons to complete the
design.
Designed to fit a 32–34 inch bust, this elegant knitted dress captures the graceful style of the
1940s and makes a wonderful project for anyone who loves recreating authentic vintage
clothing.
The pattern tension is 13 stitches and 17 rows to 2 inches, helping you achieve the correct
fit and structure for this lovely period piece.
