Me too Gigi. My favorite style. And it is almost impossible to find the style anywhere. Very slimming.

I’m trying to find a dress or pattern which has a bodice attached to the skirt by a lining giving the appearance of a two-piece.

Your help and advise will be much-appreciated.

Helen

The books, ‘Dress Pattern Designing’, and ‘More Dress Pattern Designing’, by Natilie Bray will take you through creating blocks (for basic cut and fit) and then creating the detail to adapt the blocks to styles and add the accoutrements required. In essence, making your own patterns to fit you, rather than adapting a commercial item.

I’ve been sewing my own clothes since I was a kid, but I never learned how to design the patterns from scratch so I’m always trying to adapt store patterns to a design I envisioned. It can be pretty frustrating!
Do you know if I could find a sort of ‘master pattern’ for dresses, that would have all the common bodice, sleeve, skirt styles that can mix and match to build any basic dress style? I don’t know if it exists but it would be so useful! I could easily make minor tweaks to accomplish my vision, instead of trying to reinvent a pattern that only matches half my design. Thanks!

It should be fitted on top around the bust and then gradually flares out but not to the point of a tent or swing dress There is no waist band.

Hi Raelin
Yes, you are right; thanks for the clarification. I will make the change

Folkwear Patterns actually made a pattern named “Fifties Fit and Flare”, with both the long sleeved and halter version (like Marilyn’s) included. I used to work with Kate, the originator of Folkwear, at Lark Books, when Folkwear patterns were sold by Lark. (I still have my “Fifties Fit and Flare” pattern, which was actually given to me by Lark as a gift – one day I’ll use it – it takes a LOT of fabric, compared with most dress patterns!) I can testify that she is a pre-eminent scholar and historian of fashion.
Here’s a link to a picture of the cover shot of “Fifties Fit and Flare”: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/69/2c/2f/692c2f9a3441dfed4a95cfe6a6b9caa3.jpg
The pattern is no longer available from Folkwear’s catalog, for some reason. You can find used copies on Etsy and other locations, if you want to make one. I highly recommend Folkwear, though, for all kinds of historical and vintage clothing patterns. My favorite vintage pattern is “the Glamour Girl” – 30s – 40s styled dress. So cool looking, even today! I have a burning desire to make the “Model T Duster Coat” too, one of these days.
