1940s Slip, Bra & Knickers Lingerie Sewing Pattern – Bust 34

This 1940s lingerie sewing pattern includes three pieces: a slip, brassiere and knickers, giving you a complete set from one pattern.

The slip is cut in five panels, with a panelled front and centre-back seam creating its fitted shape.

The matching brassiere is shaped with darts and gathers at the centre front, with a side fastening. The two-piece knickers have a pointed gusset cut in one with the back, keeping the construction relatively simple.

The economical cutting and construction are very much in keeping with wartime dressmaking, when fabric was rationed and patterns needed to make careful use of the material available.

Silk, satin, rayon and fine cotton lawn would all be suitable choices for making the set.

To fit: Bust 34 inches – Hip 38 inches.
