1939 Dress
The first project from the suitcase is complete! The 1939 dress was made using a pattern from 'Vintage Dress Patterns of the 20th Century' by Anne Tyrell that I scaled and graded up to fit a size 10-12.
As the dress pattern pre-dates the introduction of clothing rationing in World War Two the skirt is cut on the bias allowing it to use more fabric and the buttons are non-functional. The dress is made of cotton print with a plain cotton interlining.
