Butterick 6015 Vintage 50's Sewing Pattern THE Walkaway Wrap Around Dress, Sheath Beneath, Full Skirt
Details:
1952, 50s Rockabilly, Retro Fad Clothing Patterns - It's THE Walk-Away Dress! During the 1950's, B experienced a phenomenon it had not known since the 'Garibaldi Suit' of the late 1860's. It was pattern 6015, and it was dubbed the 'walk-away' dress, because it was so easy you could "Start it after breakfast... walk-away in it for luncheon!". It's simple yet flattering wrap design and easy construction were what made it so popular. Sales of the pattern were so great, that at one point manufacturing of all other patterns ceased, and only the 'walk-away' dress was produced until all back-orders for this dress could be filled. Here's the smartest idea of the season..a dress that has only back waist and shoulder seams, that has its back wrapped around to the front for a sheath-and-overskirt look. Binding finishes the edges. Wear it for any occasion. Thank you to my friend,
Rita for that fine bit of research!
CONDITION: Pattern was cut and used. All pieces appear to be accounted for, intact and have been neatly refolded with the original instructions. Envelope upper edges have wear & tear, the front of the envelope is hanging by a thread for dear life!
