A lovely, easy-to-wear 1940s dress with a clean, flattering line that feels just as charming
today as it did during the wartime years. It can be styled with your favourite lingerie collar
for a softer, more detailed look, or finished with the included collar instructions for a
complete vintage design.
The fabric has a delicate, lightly textured feel, created by alternating bands of 2-ply and
4-ply yarn worked on finer and thicker needles. This simple technique gives the dress its
subtle lacy effect without being overly complicated.
You’ll need approximately 11oz (315g) of 4-ply yarn and 4oz (120g) of 2-ply, along with a
pair of No. 5 and No. 10 knitting needles, a No. 12 crochet hook, 17 small buttons, and a
pair of shoulder pads to achieve that classic 1940s shape.
Designed to fit a 34-inch bust comfortably, with a little ease to suit up to 35 inches, it
creates a neat, slender silhouette that captures the understated elegance of the era.
