Wearing History #1002
Smooth Sailing Mid 1930s Sports Togs Pattern- Blouse, Trousers, and Shorts
Printed Pattern- mailed to you
Our best selling pattern, this Wearing History Signature Style 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 cut on the straight of grain and 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 pattern is recommended for intermediate sewers. A basic knowledge of sewing terminology and zipper application is expected.
The extended size version of this pattern was drafted off of a plus size form based on real body scans in a size 18W.
Many thanks to Elisa of Isis Wardrobe for the photographs of her wearing the outfit she made from the extended size pattern.
