This PDF features a replicated pattern sized to fit a 32 inch bust / 27 inch waist/ 35 inch hip. 1938 Ladies Gown with a close fitting, bodice with a full sweeping skirt. The back is daringly bare, while front is a flattering sweet-heart neckline. The gown is constructed with princess seams, and has a left side opening.

If you ever have the opportunity to watch "Wife Versus Secretary" with Myrna Loy (1936), wait for the party/dance scene. There you see the front and back outfit, and in my opinion, this dress seems to be an exact match. Plain, understated, elegant, and yet quite dramatic....

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND
This is an exact copy of the original vintage pattern and as such may retain any original errors or miscalculations in formatting native to the original pattern. While I have made up some of these patterns, I have not tested them all out and cannot attest to their accuracy or perfect fit. As with all garment construction, it is best to make a mock-up for fitting in test fabric prior to cutting and constructing with your final fashion fabric.
