Vogue Sewing pattern 1940-A5

Vogue Sewing pattern 1940 is an elegant blouse pattern for women in sizes 32 to 40. It has a flattering, fitted shape with refined details, making it a lovely dressmaking project if you want a polished result with a distinctive look.

The pattern includes 1.5 cm seam allowances unless stated otherwise, so you can get started more easily without adding them separately. A size chart is included to help you choose the best fit for your project.

This blouse features a deep V-neck, princess seams, a bow tie, baby hems, an invisible zip at the centre back, and a narrow strap across the upper back. View A is sleeveless with a gathered neckline ruffle. View B has balloon sleeves with a stay. That gives you two stylish versions from one sewing pattern.

Choose a fabric that drapes well and supports the shape of the blouse. Fabric by the metre with a fluid handle works beautifully here, such as viscose, linen or a fine cotton fabric. If you enjoy sewing with elegant details, this is a versatile sewing pattern you can make your own.
