1930s Summer Dress Sewing Pattern – Weldon’s 1936–37

A pretty summer dress from around 1936–37, featuring a shaped neckline with dainty ties, softly gathered waist and a gently flared skirt that falls below the knee.

The short puff sleeves have unusual stitched pleats, while a narrow tie belt finishes the look. Perfect for lightweight cotton prints, viscose or linen blends.

This original Weldon’s design has been carefully restored with clear, step-by-step sewing instructions, cutting layouts and diagrams, making it easier to follow than the original vintage instructions.
