A lovely summer dress with a simple wrapped waist from the mid-1950s.

Featuring pull-over styling, this dress is loosly gathered at the waist but the side ties bring in it nice and tightly for that lovely 50s look. Gathers at the neckline highlight the bust, and around the neck is trimmed with a simple collar. Bias binding finishes the neck and arm holes.

Subversive Femme patterns are digital reproductions of original patterns, normally only in one size. The original instructions are included, which are not as comprehensive as modern sewing pattern instructions. Because of this I would not recommend these patterns for brand new sewers, but I am more than willing to provide tech assistance if you need it.
