How to Make a 1940’s Dress - Simplicity Pattern 1948

Betty learns how to sew a beautiful 1940’s dress from a Simplicity pattern in 1948. She’s so delighted with the results, she gets a bunch of other college girls to put on a full 1940’s fashion show. Dress making starts by pinning the pattern together, so it can be tried on to see if adjustment is needed. Betty first checked her measurements and got the correct pattern size. She also got the correct sewing equipment and with the help of a woman from the Simplicity Pattern Co, she made a very pretty red dress. Why not create your own #1940sdresses using old #sewingpatterns. There are plenty available online. Just don’t forget those shoulder pads ! Maybe, like Betty, you and your college girl friends could then put on a fashion show to display your work. Watch out for Betty’s 1940’s College Girls Fashion Show - 1948.
