I do not own or sell the original design pattern or any copies. I create all of my patterns from sketches or photos of finished designs.
All of the vintage pattern designs in my shop are paper patterns and are my own replicas of the original design, based on sketches or photos of finished designs.



This is a 1950s SEWING PATTERN, this is not a dress

-.-..The picture of the pattern may not correspond to the design, it is here to show how my paper pattern looks like..-.-.

All my patterns are handmade to standard sizes or custom size and they contain English notes as well as notches that make it easy to join the pieces of the pattern together. A cutting diagram and information on the required yardage are included.

To keep prices down, SEWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED. If you require Construction Steps for your pattern, please let me know before placing your order.

- No hem or seam allowance.

- No step-by-step illustrations to go with instructions.
However, I can write some basic construction steps if you need or any specific steps in the process that you would like me to describe.

1950s sewing pattern could also be made as a short dress or top.

The 1950s. Faced with rationing, restrictions, and shortages of fabric, designers used austerity, simplicity, and practicality as their starting points, but didn’t forget about fit or good design.

How to choose a STANDARD SIZE?
I can make standard sizes S, M, L, or XL with small adjustments to better fit you.
Sizes are a tricky issue, and there aren’t any hard and fast rules, but I’d say my list of sizes is more European than American.
To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: https://www.contrapuntpatterns.com/taking-measurements

The best way to know your size is to take some measurements of yourself and use them to gauge your size. I can also modify a pattern to better fit your measurements.
For example:
You choose size S (Europe 40-42). If your body is closer to the first number, 86 (Upper bust/Torax 86-88 cm), than the second, 88, please tell me. Otherwise, the pattern will be the standard size S of between 86-88 cm for the upper bust.

All sizes, both standard and custom, can be modified to your liking (for example, waist higher or lower; skirt longer, shorter, wider, narrower, unpleated, etc.). A dress can be made as either one or two pieces—as a blouse and skirt, for instance. Please specify any of these alterations by email, or at the bottom of the form “Taking measurements”.
