1950s Princess Dress Sewing Pattern – Kimono Sleeves

This 1950s sewing pattern is for a princess-line dress with a yoked front bodice, kimono-style cap sleeves and bow trim detail.

The princess seams run through the dress to create the shaping through the bodice, waist and skirt, while a back zip provides the fastening.

Made at tea length, the design could also work well as a 1950s-style wedding or bridal dress, as well as an occasion or summer dress depending on the fabric chosen.

Suitable fabrics include printed silk and cotton, polished cotton, linen and similar light to medium-weight woven dress fabrics.

The pattern is drafted for a 36-inch bust, 30-inch waist and 39-inch hip and is best suited to an intermediate sewer.

Bust 36 inches – Waist 30 inches – Hip 39 inches.
