Vogue Sewing pattern 1956-A5

Create a stylish blouse or top with the Vogue Sewing pattern 1956-A5. Designed for women in sizes 32 to 40, this medium-difficulty sewing pattern is a great choice if you enjoy a carefully made dressmaking project with a neat, professional finish.

The pattern includes 1.5 cm seam allowances unless stated otherwise, so you can get started without adding them yourself. It is supplied in an envelope and comes with a size chart to help you select the best size for your project.

You can make two different looks from the same pattern. View A features long set-in sleeves with button cuffs and a seam opening. View B is a halter-style top with armholes finished with bias tape and a shaped hem. That gives you flexibility to sew a more classic blouse or a modern top, depending on your fabric choice and style.

For the best results, choose a fabric by the metre with enough body and structure to hold the shape well. A cotton fabric, linen fabric or other woven dressmaking fabric would all work nicely, depending on the look you want. Vogue is known for refined designs and thoughtful detail, making this a rewarding pattern for a polished handmade garment.
