Vogue 1982 Dress Pattern 44-52

This Vogue sewing pattern 1982 is designed for women’s dresses in sizes 44 to 52, with a stylish cape effect and a flattering, fitted silhouette. It’s a great choice if you want a dressmaking pattern with elegant lines and thoughtful detail. Unless stated otherwise, 1.5 cm seam allowance is included.

The pattern is for a lined dress with front waist and bust shaping, back princess seams, a back vent and an invisible zip at the back. Style A has 3/4-length sleeves, while Style B is sleeveless, so you can choose the version that suits your style and occasion best. The loose, unlined cape adds extra character and gives the dress its distinctive look.

Rated as medium difficulty, this sewing pattern is a good match for experienced home sewists who enjoy a more detailed project. For the best result, choose a dress fabric with a soft drape so the fitted shape and cape fall beautifully. Whether you are looking for fabric by the metre, cotton fabric, linen fabric or a flowing viscose dress fabric, this pattern works well for an elegant wardrobe addition.

With its refined shaping and considered finish, Vogue 1982 is a lovely choice if you want a polished dressmaking project with a distinctive cape detail.
