#261 Paris Promenade Dress

This easy-to-sew, easy-to-wear afternoon dress from about 1920 flatters any figure. Pullover dress is attached to bib-shaped overdress, then shaped to the body at the waist by a self-fabric sash or purchased decorative cord. Vintage-style drawstring handbag completes the look. Pattern includes instructions for making decorative tassels to attach at ends of dress sleeves and bottom of handbag.

Item No.  FW-261

Size:  Misses Extra Small to Extra Large.

Price:  $16.95

Suggested fabrics:  Light to medium-weight fabrics with drape, such as silk, silk velvet, rayon, featherweight cotton, or jersey. For a more defined look, choose fabrics with more body, such as crisp cotton, lightweight linen, and silk taffeta.

  

Ring in the new year with ATTITUDE!


We all love to sew and have made many practical things to wear. But a new year is the perfect time to start out with a sassy new attitude and a promise to venture beyond our limits, sew outside the box, and experiment with a new look! Take #261 Paris Promenade Dress, shown here in two different sand-washed silk fabrics. Add a jaunty vintage hat, some favorite beads or baubles, and a devilish take-on-the-world expression…you will be ready for anything!
