1940s Yoked Dress Sewing Pattern – Puff Sleeves & Sash, Bust 36

This 1940s sewing pattern is for a straightforward day dress with a plain back bodice and yoked front bodice, joined to a shaped front skirt.

The dress has short puff sleeves and sash ties at the waist, allowing the fit to be drawn in and adjusted when worn.

Suitable fabrics include gingham, percale, chambray and other light to medium-weight woven cottons or similar dress fabrics.

The pattern is drafted for a 36-inch bust and 39-inch hip. No waist measurement is given, as is common with many patterns of this period, so the waist can be fitted during construction.

The original step-by-step instructions are fairly basic, so an additional sewing guide is included to help with construction.

Best suited to an advanced beginner or someone with some basic dressmaking experience.

Bust 36 inches – Hip 39 inches.
