1950s Wiggle Dress Sewing Pattern – Draped Fichu Neckline

This 1950s sewing pattern is for a fitted wiggle dress with a shaped bodice, draped neckline and fichu detail.

The slim skirt follows the line of the body before tapering towards the hem, with a centre-back knife pleat providing room for movement. Small hip pockets are incorporated into the design, adding an unusual detail to the otherwise streamlined shape.

The bodice is closely shaped and finished with soft draping around the neckline and fichu.

Suitable fabrics include rayon, satin, brocade, satin lamé and silk, depending on the amount of structure or drape required.

The pattern is drafted for a 34-inch bust and is suitable for a confident beginner with some dressmaking experience upwards.

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

Bust 34 inches.
