Vogue Sewing pattern 1943-B5

Vogue Sewing Pattern 1943-B5 lets you create a smart, modern women’s outfit with a strong silhouette. The pattern is designed for a blazer, trouser suit or trousers in sizes 34 to 42, and the separate cup sizes A, B, C and D help you refine the fit to suit your shape.

This is a medium difficulty dressmaking pattern, supplied in an envelope. Seam allowances of 1.5 cm are included unless stated otherwise, so you can focus on the sewing rather than extra measuring and cutting.

The blazer features an off-the-shoulder cut, double-breasted front, lining, a fully interfaced body, boning and long sleeves. The matching trousers are semi-fitted with a high rise, flared legs, an invisible zip at the back and a hook and eye fastening. Worn together, they make a confident trouser suit; worn separately, they give you more outfit options.

Choose a fabric that holds its shape for the blazer while still draping well for the trousers. Suitable dressmaking fabric by the metre will help you get the crisp finish and elegant movement this design needs.
