        Halter Neck Dress, Tie Neck Dress & Jacket

        Ah, the glamour and grace of the 1930s! That era truly had an exquisite sense of style. Sewing patterns from that time often capture the elegance and sophistication of this beautiful period.

        1. The swing-back coat would work wonderfully well with checked tweeds, it features collar and two button fastening and two patch pockets. It can be lined by using front, back and sleeve pieces.
        2. You’ll love this charming tie-collar sun-frock, use contrasting fabrics for the ultimate look.
        3. Imagine wearing this beautifully draped halter neck sun dress which would look fabulous in bright colors on sunny days by the beach.

        Offered here as: Paper Pattern and the Original pattern. This pattern is also available as a PDF download.
