1950s Princess Line Wedding Dress Sewing Pattern – Long or Tea Length

An elegant 1950s princess line wedding dress with two very different options. Make it as a full-length gown with long sleeves for a traditional bridal look, or choose the ballet (tea) length version with short sleeves for a less formal wedding or evening occasion.

The clean princess-line shaping gives the dress its beautifully fitted silhouette without unnecessary detail, making it a lovely design for showcasing a special fabric.

The pattern does not give specific fabric recommendations, but Duchess satin, charmeuse, taffeta, silk, silk satin, shantung or a good-quality lace would all suit the design well.

Sized to fit a 34″ (86 cm) bust and 28″ (71 cm) waist.

Skill level: Intermediate.

The pattern includes basic step-by-step instructions together with a helpful sewing guide for additional guidance while making the dress.
