Folkwear Patterns with Timeless Style Folkwear #247 Lindy Shirtdress Sewing Pattern (Pattern Only) folkwear247 Misses Sizes XS - 3XL This dress comes from the 1940's when square shoulders, narrow hips, and skirts that ended just below the knee were the height of fashion. Fabric rationing had lead to the use of darts, pleats, tucks, and other fabric manipulation to add interest to dresses without a lot of extra fabric. Our dress has an interesting bodice construction, with shoulder and waist pleats and darts, and a shawl-collar. Skirt darts create a flattering look while adding plenty of ease in the hip area. Elbow-length sleeves with cuffs make this nearly a year-round dress. Combine other Supplies or Fabrics from our store for shipping discount. Michigan Residents add 6% Sales Tax.
