239 Blonde Bombshell Dress

$ 17.95

Sizes XS-3XL   Celebrate your femininity with this dramatic, full-skirted sewing pattern from the 1950s. Make it in colorful cotton for a summer sundress or shimmering brocade for an evening party any time of the year. The mid-1950s celebrated femininity with tight-waisted, full-skirted dresses like this, the Blonde Bombshell.  Fitted waists, halter tops, and circle skirts become popular again every few years from then on. For summer, this dress is easily made in plain or printed cottons (think tropical!). For winter parties, try taffeta, satin, or crepe. The Blonde Bombshell is as versatile as it is flattering, and, of course, you don't have to be blonde! The dress is very easy to sew, with only five pattern pieces. Its bodice consists of midriff front and back. The halter ties at the back of the neck in View A or is fastened with hooks and eyes for View B. A low calf-length circular skirt fits smoothly into the waist in back, gathers softly in front, and zips up the center back. The perfect cover-up is our soft Bolero Sweater that hugs the bodice and fastens with one button in front. Knit it in a worsted-weight mohair blend yarn in a simple stockinette stitch. Complete instructions are included for sizes XS-MD. This pattern is available as a Paper pattern and a PDF pattern. The PDF pattern has files for copy shop (36" and A0), print at home, and instructions.
