1930s Dart-Fitted Slip PDF Sewing Pattern

Prepared after purchase. Digital delivery within 1 business day.

Long vertical darts shape this planned 1930s slip through the waist while the cloth stays on the straight grain. A plain, gently flared hem and narrow fixed straps keep the silhouette quiet beneath a dress.

Neckline and back choices

• Continuous woven body with double-ended vertical waist darts
• Straight front neckline or softly rounded front neckline
• Deep, medium or higher scoop-back options
• Narrow fixed shoulder straps and a fine bound edge
• Gently flared mid-calf hem without separate godets or an underbust seam
• Planned discreet left-side opening for access

Peach pink shows the straight-front arrangement and deep back. Pale celadon shows the rounded front and a higher back; a separate rear preview illustrates the medium depth. These neckline and back options are included in one planned slip pattern. The slip is intended for opaque, non-stretch cloth; it is not a bias-cut gown or a separate bra.

Fabric and fitting

Consider a smooth silk crepe, fine cotton or suitable opaque woven rayon. Test the cloth's movement, seam finish and binding on a swatch. Straight-grain cloth will not stretch like a bias-cut slip, so bust and hip ease, strap placement, sitting comfort and the side opening require careful fitting. Mark the darts precisely and taper their ends smoothly. Make a full fitting sample before selecting the final back depth.
