1940s–1950s Inspired Western Patio Dress

This Western patio dress is based on the styles worn during the 1940s and 1950s. It features a fitted V-neck bodice, short sleeves, a full gathered skirt, ric-rac trim and fringe.

My patio dresses are vintage-inspired rather than historically exact reproductions. I reproduce the overall style and construction of the original garments but use modern, easy-care fabrics rather than attempting to replicate the original textiles.

Each dress is made to your measurements and individually cut and sewn by me in Australia.
