Design
Advance 6019's most distinctive feature is right at the shoulder: an unusual raglan-cut yoke seaming replaces a conventional set-in sleeve, giving the bodice a cleaner, more continuous line up into a high standing collar. The button front continues straight down through the belted waist and into the gathered skirt, which sweeps to roughly 70" around the lower edge at Size 14. View 1 offers long or three-quarter sleeves with a self belt; View 2 shortens the sleeve and pairs it with a purchased belt. Eleven pattern pieces are included, suggested in linen, shantung, ottoman, corduroy, wool jersey, heavy cotton, rayon suiting, or lightweight wool.
A Moment in Fashion History
Featured in Companion magazine, Advance 6019 shows pattern companies experimenting with shoulder construction even while holding firmly to the era's defined waist and full skirt - proof that the years following Dior's 1947 New Look weren't just about repeating a single formula, but finding fresh structural ideas within it.
