1950s Sun Dress Sewing Pattern – Shaped Neckline with Buttoned Tabs

This 1950s sun dress has a shaped neckline finished with buttoned tabs and a softly folded skirt that gives the dress its characteristic shape.

It’s a simple summer design with the neckline providing the main decorative detail, while the soft folds in the skirt add fullness without making it overly structured.

Suitable fabrics include silk, rayon or viscose, cotton and linen, giving plenty of choice for anything from a lightweight everyday dress to a dressier version.

The construction is relatively straightforward, with step-by-step instructions included together with an additional sewing guide to help with the making process.
