235 Sporty Forties' Dress - Folkwear
Sizes XS-3XL. Folkwear's Sporty Forties' Dress and Sweater patterns are classic examples of the ingenuity of the 1940s fashion designers. They faced fabric shortages, government regulations, and the perennial desire of women to still look their best even in wartime. There was a sense of patriotism, even in fashion. The government asked designers not to use unnecessary amounts of fabric, not to make extreme changes, and not to indulge in excessive trimming.

Clean simple lines and fine tailoring techniques contribute to the look that is still appreciated as classic today.
