1940s Evening Dress Sewing Pattern – Circular Skirt, Bust 34

This 1944 sewing pattern is for an evening dress with a full circular skirt and a camisole-style neckline, with the option of adding draped shoulder sections.

The centre-front bodice panel is cut in one with the skirt, creating an uninterrupted line through the front of the dress. The remaining bodice sections join the dress at the lowered waistline.

The neckline can be made simply in camisole style or finished with the additional draped shoulder sections for an alternative version.

No original fabric recommendations are given. Suitable choices could include silk crepe, taffeta, satin, lace and rayon satin, particularly fabrics with enough drape to work with the full circular skirt.

The pattern is drafted for a 34-inch bust and 37-inch hip.

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

Bust 34 inches – Hip 37 inches.
