1930s Vintage Summer Dress Sewing Pattern Bust 36 Sporty Retro Style

If you love easy, effortless vintage style, this 1930s summer dress is such a joy to make and wear.
Designed with a relaxed drop shoulder, it can be sewn sleeveless for warm days or with softly
gathered long sleeves finished with wristbands for a more classic look.

The shape is beautifully flattering, with gentle waist darts to give definition and a skirt that falls
into soft inverted pleats at each side, creating that lovely 1930s movement. There’s a neat
opening at the left shoulder and underarm for ease, and it’s finished with a removable belt so
you can wear it loose or cinch it in to suit your style.

It works wonderfully in a range of fabrics depending on the look you want, try silk crepe for
something elegant, printed cotton for a casual day dress, rayon for that authentic vintage
drape, or linen for a fresh, breathable summer feel.

Designed to fit a 36” bust and 39” hips, this pattern comes with clear step-by-step instructions
and a helpful sewing guide, making it a pleasure whether you’re experienced or returning to
sewing.
