original product information by Wearing History

FINALLY IN PLUS SIZE! This is a brand new draft of the Smooth Sailing Pattern- I’ve been working on this off and on for years so excited to release it!

This pattern was drafted off of a plus size form based on real body scans in a size 18W.

Photos on real sewists are coming!

These trousers and blouse were inspired by the mid to late 1930s. It works well for looks from 1935 to 1941, but can look just as chic when mixed in with modern basics.

ALL SIZES BELOW are included:

bust 41-43-45-47-49-51-53
waist 34-36-38-40-42-44-46

This pattern is for the perfect casual vintage ensemble- for dancing, wearing about town, and anywhere you want to take them- tailored enough to be dressy but casual enough to go anywhere! This design is inspired by the mid to late 1930s. It works well for looks from 1935 to 1939, but can look just as chic when mixed in with modern basics.

The yoked blouse has short puffed sleeves cut on the straight of grain and cuffs that are cut on the bias. It has a self facing and buttons up the front. It provides the perfect background for fun buttons, and the cut is fitted at the waist but loose at top. It’s perfect for prints or solids! The front can be buttoned all the way up to the neck or the top buttons can be left off to make a notched collar.

This pattern is recommended for intermediate sewers. A basic knowledge of sewing terminology and zipper application is expected.
