"If you can sew a dart, you can make this dress. If you only have one dress in your wardrobe - make it this one! This vintage pattern from the 1950s features a striking bodice yoke with external dart detail. The skirt has a pleated inset that will pop if you use a vertically striped fabric. The dress is so attractive, you cannot help but feel great when wearing it.
Slim fitting dress had 3" of ease at the bust, 1/2" of ease at the waist and 3 1/2" of ease at the hip. Skirt has pleated inset with decorative buttons. Kick pleat at center back. Short sleeves. Side zipper."
