1940s Wartime Coupon-Saving All-Day Dress Sewing Pattern – Two Styles

This 1940s wartime sewing pattern includes two All-Day Dresses designed with fabric rationing and coupon saving in mind.

The first is the simpler of the two, with front and back yokes and long sleeves.

The second version has a two-part skirt and a two-part front bodice, softly gathered into the yoke and finished with a waistband and long sleeves.

No original fabric recommendations are given. Suitable woven fabrics could include viscose or rayon, cotton, lightweight wool and light suiting fabrics.

The pattern is drafted for a 32-inch bust and is suitable for an advanced beginner upwards.

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

Bust 32 inches – Hip 36 inches.
