This simple but elegant dress, from the 1918-1920 period, is made from just three main pattern pieces. The full dress shape is defined at the waist by a self-fabric sash that passes underneath the bib-shaped overdress in front and ties in the back.
For the perfect period accessory, make the drawstring handbag included in the pattern.

I made this cloak for my daughter, who has been looking for dress-ups that fit her as she gets older. This pattern has far exceeded our expectations!
Complex but Not Hard - My first Folkwear pattern. Loved this pattern + instructions. The dress looks so lovely . . . .
Easy to follow and very cute. This was my first time making a dirndl and the pattern was very easy to follow! I loved how they added specific how to’s for changing the waist or bust measurements and fit it to your body.
