1950s Princess Style Dress Sewing Pattern – Fichu & Full Skirt

Cut with long princess-style lines to emphasise the waist, this 1950s dress flows from beneath the bust into a wonderfully full skirt.

The fichu provides the main decorative detail and is finished with a small bow at the back. Worn over a stiff net petticoat, the skirt takes on the full 1950s shape intended for the design.

Silk, rayon or viscose, brocade and heavier satin are all suitable choices, particularly fabrics with enough body to make the most of the princess shaping and full skirt.

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