1950s Summer Dress & Bolero Sewing Pattern – Pockets

This 1950s sewing pattern is for a summer dress with a matching bolero.

The dress has a dart-fitted bodice with decorative cuff detailing at the front and back, wide shoulder straps and a two-piece skirt with generously sized pockets.

The coordinating bolero provides an additional cover-up to wear with the dress, making the pattern useful for both warmer days and cooler evenings.

No original fabric recommendations are given. Plain or striped cotton, linen and similar light to medium-weight woven fabrics would suit the design well.

The pattern is drafted for a 36-inch bust, 29-inch waist and 40-inch hip.

The original step-by-step instructions are fairly basic, so an additional sewing guide is included to help with construction.

Bust 36 inches – Waist 29 inches – Hip 40 inches.
