Pattern Description:

This is a digital print-at-home pattern for a 1950's French cocktail dress. The dress features a beautiful shoulder and sleeve drape, bodice darts, inverted pleat skirt and a back zipper.

The pattern is given in a size Medium: 34" Bust, 27" waist.
It also includes English instructions for how to grade the pattern to other sizes.

The pattern prints as a 9 page pattern sheet with full sized pattern pieces laid out over each other (Much like a Burda pattern sheet). Each pattern piece can then be individually traced from the master sheet. (Or, if you prefer, you can just print the pattern sheet several times and cut out the pieces).

The pattern includes instructions both in English and in French.
Difficulty level: Intermediate.

Pages are formatted for both US Letter and A4 paper.

*********************************************************

Printing a PDF is easy. Just open, hit print, and make sure that your printer scale is set to 100% (this should be the default setting in most cases).

Please note: This pattern is based off of a real 1950's pattern that is in the public domain. However, the pattern and its instructions have been adapted and translated for the 21st century seamstress creating a new and original work.
