1930s Six-Gore Skirt Sewing Pattern | Waist 26 Inch

Price range: £9.99 through £15.99

This mid-1930s four-panel skirt has the slim, close-fitting shape that was becoming increasingly popular during the decade. Fitted over the hips before falling into a clean, straight silhouette, it features a side placket fastening and a faced waist instead of a separate waistband, giving it a neat, uncluttered finish.

Designed for a 26-inch waist and 35-inch hips, the finished skirt measures approximately 31½ inches in length.

No fabric recommendations were included with the original pattern, but lightweight suiting, wool crepe, flannel or a stable Ponte Roma would all be suitable choices. A fabric with a soft drape will give the best result, while very heavy or stiff materials are best avoided.

The pattern includes both written instructions and supporting illustrations, making it straightforward to follow. Whether sewn in a classic wool for everyday wear or a lighter fabric for warmer months, it is a practical 1930s design that still works well as part of a modern handmade wardrobe.

This pattern is available in three convenient formats:
✔️  Multi-page PDF: Perfect for printing at home.
✔️  A0 PDF: Ideal for sending to a print shop.
✔️  Printed Version: Delivered directly to your address.
