1940s Wrap Yoke Dress Sewing Pattern – Two Sleeve Styles

This 1940s sewing pattern is for a dress with a two-part skirt and a distinctive wrap-over front yoke, shaped with tucks at both the neckline and waist.

There is a choice of two sleeve styles: short cap sleeves or puff sleeves. The dress has a side placket and back neck opening and can be finished with either a self-fabric belt or a purchased belt.

No original fabric recommendations are given. Suitable woven fabrics could include viscose or rayon, cotton, linen, linen-look cotton and similar light to medium-weight dress fabrics.

The pattern is drafted for a 32-inch bust and 27-inch waist.

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

Bust 32 inches – Waist 27 inches.
