1940s Wartime Blouse & Skirt Sewing Pattern – Weldons Bust 36″

A practical wartime two-piece sewing pattern from Weldons, featuring a simple blouse and skirt designed with fabric economy in mind. The skirt has a pleat at both the front and back, no separate waistband, and a side placket opening for fastening.

The blouse is shaped with waist darts and has softly gathered sleeves and neckline, both drawn up with ribbon or rouleau. It is a simple but very effective 1940s design, with just enough detail to give the finished outfit a feminine shape while still keeping construction economical.

As with many wartime patterns, no specific fabrics are suggested. At the time, makers often used whatever was available, including fabric salvaged from older garments. For the skirt, suitable choices would include linen, suiting, tweed or a medium-weight wool. For the blouse, lighter fabrics such as cotton, chiffon, rayon, voile or broderie anglaise would work well.

The pattern includes step-by-step instructions together with a helpful sewing guide to assist with construction and fitting.
