Description:

You are bidding on a lovingly created vintage wedding dress digital pattern.  

This is a wedding dress dated 1941.  The neckline has soft gathering with the bodice plunging to the midrif, meeting gathers at the waistline.  These gathers take in excess fabric instead of a dart.  The flared front and back skirt has an additional godet to the front for ornamentation. The set in sleeves are 3/4 length with some fullness. 

Paper pattern comes neatly folded in a pattern envelope and consists of 6 pieces. No instructions are included. Veil pattern is not included.

Size:  Vintage sizes: 14 16 18. Please do compare your own measurements with those in the chart as this is a vintage sized item and is not like the sizes used by modern manufacturers.

Essential information:

This is a drafted flat pattern block, professional in style. The user will need to add own seam allowances, cut out, create facings, determine preferred bust point (as with many patterns), and make any personal shape/preference alterations to the pattern (as with any pattern).  No instructions are included. 

Message from Daisy's Pattern Parlour:

My patterns come in many guises.  Some I create from vintage fashion plates and are in every way an authentic vintage pattern, some are recreated hard-to-find or out-of-print vintage patterns, and some are created from iconic photographs using patterns of the era with a little bit of skill and expertise included to create a pattern that is often a unique find - if even made!  

My patterns are often listed as crafted by hand, or printed.  I only use the best paper which is sold as fit-for-purpose in the fashion industry, not that awful stuff that is for other purposes - all rigid and crispy which tears as soon as you pin it to fabric!  No A4 paper or Sellotape is ever required! Or wanted!

As my patterns are vintage, they are of vintage sizing.  However, sigh not! I can make any pattern in modern sizes as well as custom sizes small or large. Just send me a message and I shall create a listing especially for you.

For beginners a mock up should be made, for more experienced sewers the pattern can be cut directly taking into account personal taste and fit.  Please remember that skirts were often column or flared in style to walk freely, and tapering with a split may be a preferred choice.  And of course who wishes bullet boobs were a full on fashion thing these days?  However, you may also wish to make adjustments to the bust point.  Darts are often indicated without the point, this is so that you can make a personalised fit.

After Sales Tips can be found on Daisy's Pattern Parlour Pintrest page.  More images, articles of interest, and patterns can be seen on Facebook and Instagram.

Please check and understand the pattern thoroughly before cutting from your fabric - a good tip is to plan it first.
