A cropped body and curved open front give this bolero its intended 1950s-inspired proportions. Three-quarter sleeves make it a separate layering piece for dresses and high-waisted separates, with no front fastening to interrupt the outline.
Design details
The planned design includes:
- Cropped body finishing above the natural waist
- Curved open front without a fastening
- Set-in three-quarter sleeves
- Planned lining to finish the inside and front edges
Fabric ideas
Consider a stable lightweight suiting, cotton sateen or a fine linen blend for the outer layer. Pair it with a compatible lining and test the combined thickness around the curved front edges before selecting the final fabric.
Sewing notes
The planned construction includes sleeve setting, lining assembly and shaping the open front through careful pressing. Fit a sample over the intended dress or top to check shoulder movement and the position of the cropped hem.
Use a coordinating solid fabric to frame a printed dress, or match the bolero to a high-waisted skirt.
