Folkwear 237 Tango Dress Roaring 20_s 1920_s Sewing Costume Pattern

The 237 Tango Dress pattern by Folkwear is a look made popular during the Tango craze in the 'teens and twenties of the 20th century. The dramatic clips and thrusts of the dance called for gowns that emphasized leg and back. Pattern Details: Folkwear Pattern #237 Tango Dress (Not finished garment) Misses sizes 6 - 16 (Bust 30 1/2" - 38", Hips 32 1/2" - 40") All Sizes in one Envelope Includes pattern for dress in two versions Also includes knitting pattern for v-neck sweater cardigan Tango Dress Details: The unusual construction of the Tango dress adds to its dramatic impact. A long sleeveless bodice hangs straight to the hips where it meets the skirt made of two uniquely cut sections. The back of the skirt falls away from a front hip panel that echoes the V neckline. Another shallow V hugs the body at the bodice/skirt seam in back. The skirt front fits into the back and hip panel ingeniously. In view B, another V is cut out on the back bodice, further emphasized by two triangular-shaped streamers, and the handkerchief hemline draws attention to the legs. Both day and night versions are finished by a rolled collar ending in front ties. Cardigan Sweater Details: Complete knitting instructions are included for the coordinating hip-length cardigan in stockinette stitch. It can be a daytime cover-up for summer picnics or can shimmer at night when knitted with novelty metallics.
