1940s-Inspired Woven Wrap Dress PDF Sewing Pattern

Prepared after purchase. Digital delivery within 1 business day. This first-release order is for preparing the PDF sewing pattern described below. Drafting starts after purchase; the files are not available for instant download. No finished garment or printed paper pattern is shipped.

A shawl collar and short sleeves give this woven wrap dress a tailored daywear character. The proposed bodice uses dart shaping and waist ties above a softly flared skirt, drawing on 1940s proportions.

Design details

The planned design includes:

• Cross-over bodice finished with a shawl collar
• Dart-shaped bodice designed for woven fabric
• Short set-in sleeves and ties at the natural waist
• Below-knee wrap skirt with a gentle flare

Fabric ideas

Consider a lightweight linen blend, soft cotton or a draping woven crepe with enough stability for the collar. The design is intended for woven fabric rather than relying on knit stretch; collar support and overlap will be assessed during development.

Sewing notes

Key construction areas include the shawl collar, wrap-edge finishing and secure inner and outer ties. A fitting sample will need to confirm bust coverage and skirt overlap when sitting and walking.

Try a small-scale print or a solid color to show the collar and cross-over shape.
