1950s Circle Skirt, Kimono Blouse and Halter Top Sewing Pattern

This 1950s sewing pattern includes three coordinating pieces: a halter sun top, kimono-style blouse and circular skirt.

The skirt is constructed in four panels to create a full circular shape and is particularly suited to border prints. The blouse has kimono sleeves with a choice of short or three-quarter length, both finished with cuffs.

The sun top has a halter neckline and defined waistband and can be worn with the skirt on its own or combined with the blouse for an additional layer.

Cotton fabrics are particularly suitable, with circular border prints recommended for making the most of the shape of the skirt.

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