1950s Tiered Summer Dress Sewing Pattern – Square Neck & Puff Sleeves

A full tiered skirt with soft gathers and a centre panel gives this summer dress plenty of movement, paired with a wide square neckline and short puff sleeves.

Rouleau bow trimming provides the decorative detail, while the combination of the fitted bodice and fuller skirt creates a well-defined shape.

Cotton, rayon or viscose, linen and silk are all suitable choices, particularly lighter fabrics that will work well with the gathered tiers.

The pattern is drafted for a 32-inch bust, 26-inch waist and 35-inch hip.

Basic step-by-step instructions are included, together with an additional sewing guide to help with construction.

Bust 32 inches – Waist 26 inches – Hip 35 inches.
