Create a classic 1950s-style dress with this Simplicity sewing pattern. Women’s vintage wrap dress #8085 comes in two length options, so you can make a midi version with three tie closures at the back of the skirt and a separate belt, or a shorter version with large patch pockets and an attached wrap belt that ties at the front. This dress pattern is designed for sizes 32 to 40 and is a lovely project if you enjoy dressmaking with a retro feel. The difficulty level is medium, making it a satisfying make for confident beginners as well as more experienced sewers looking for a stylish vintage design. The pattern is supplied in an envelope and includes a size chart to help you choose the right fit. Seam allowance of 1.5 cm is included unless stated otherwise, so you can get started without adding your own allowances. For the best results, choose a dressmaking fabric with enough drape to suit the wrap shape. It works beautifully in cotton fabric, linen fabric or other woven fabrics with a soft handle, depending on the look you want to achieve.
