235 Sporty Forties' Dress - Folkwear

Sizes XS-3XL. Folkwear's Sporty Forties' Dress and Sweater patterns are classic examples of the ingenuity of the 1940s fashion designers. They faced fabric shortages, government regulations, and the perennial desire of women to still look their best even in wartime.   There was a sense of patriotism, even in fashion. The government asked designers not to use unnecessary amounts of fabric, not to make extreme changes, and not to indulge in excessive trimming. The British Board of Trade conceived of "utility clothes", which were to be simple, practical, agreeable to look at, and inexpensive. The clever results are a tribute to the designers' art. Clean simple lines and fine tailoring techniques contribute to the look that is still appreciated as classic today. Our Sporty Forties' Dress sewing pattern is a shirtwaist, buttoning all the way to just-below-the-knee hem. The bodice softly
