1950s Summer Dress Sewing Pattern – Panelled Skirt

This 1950s sewing pattern is for a fitted summer dress with a shaped neckline and panelled skirt, a style that works particularly well for a Rockabilly or 1950s wardrobe.

The panelled skirt gives the dress its shape and movement, while the waist can be finished with the matching belt or left without for a simpler version.

Suitable fabrics include silk, cotton, rayon or viscose and linen, making it a useful pattern for both everyday summer dresses and occasion wear.

The pattern is drafted for a 32-inch bust and 25-inch waist.

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

Bust 32 inches – Waist 25 inches.
