Advance Pattern Number 2645, Circa 1941
15 Pattern Pieces
There is no pattern description on the envelope of this pattern. Here is what information there is:
View 1, Short-sleeve Dress with Button Closing
There are pockets at the hips and chest. Also, the pattern does include the belt.
View 2, Long-sleeve Dress with Zipper Closing
I believe that this version of the dress has pockets as well. That... or she lost her hand in a hunting accident, but I do see the breast pockets. The belt shown on this version has to be purchased.
Suggested materials include pique, gabardine, sharkskin, novelty cotton, serge, and sheer wool.
Comments: I am soooooo making Version 1 of this dress sometime. Not even kidding, I want a vintage nautical sailor girl dress!!!!
I am thinking to make it in either blue, pink or yellow though... hmmm... I'm open for suggestions on that one.
Shabby Apple (love their clothes!) actually has a dress which is very similar to this pattern, as part of their "Set Sail" Collection:
I have to say, I love the cut of the skirt, and I also can't stop staring at those shoes...
