Smooth Sailing
Mid 1930s Sports Togs
Blouse, Trousers, and Shorts
This pattern is for the perfect casual vintage ensemble- for dancing, wearing about town, and anywhere you want to take them- tailored enough to be dressy but casual enough to go anywhere! This design is inspired by the mid to late 1930s. It works well for looks from 1935 to 1939, but can look just as chic when mixed in with modern basics.
The yoked blouse has short puffed sleeves with cuffs that are cut on the bias. It has a self facing and buttons up the front. It provides the perfect background for fun buttons, and the cut is fitted at the waist but loose at top. It's perfect for prints or solids! The front can be buttoned all the way up to the neck or the top buttons can be left off to make a notched collar.
The shorts and trousers hit at the natural waist and the waistband creates the high waist effect. The pants are darted in the back and the front has a single long release tuck at either side for a flattering slim cut. The waistband can be made with self belt loops and belt. The trousers can be made with or without cuffs and the shorts are cuffless. The rise is cut long for a vintage look, but not so long as to be baggy like many originals. They are very flattering!
This Wearing History pattern was inspired by period sources from the 1930s. This pattern is multisize with three sizes per packet. This pattern runs true to size and is meant to be very fitted at the waist. If you're between sizes order the next size larger.
This listing is for size packet B:
Bust 36-38-40
Waist 30-32-34
Hip 39-41-43
This pattern includes illustrated instructions, cutting layouts for 45" and 60" fabric, and a yardage chart and supply list. The pattern is printed on good quality bond paper. This pattern comes all neatly packaged in a clear resealable plastic bag so you can keep your pieces, instructions, and you can add your own fabric swatch and inspiration photos so they can be kept in one handy little packet!
