Design
Advance 6078 pairs a notched, stand-away collar with a button front outlined in novelty piping that curves down toward the belted waist. The gored skirt continues the button placket down its center front, sweeping to roughly 65" around the lower edge at Size 14. A detachable contrast facing at the neckline lets the collar be swapped or refreshed independent of the dress fabric. Thirteen pattern pieces are included, suggested in linen, pique, faille, taffeta, shantung, butcher linen, rayon suiting, or novelty cotton.
A Moment in Fashion History
Detachable, interchangeable trim details like this pattern's contrast facing were a practical favorite of the early 1950s, letting one dress do double duty with a change of collar fabric. The piped seaming and belted waist reflect the decade's continued emphasis on a neatly defined silhouette, dressed up here with a bit of novelty detailing.
