Design
Simplicity Pattern 3031 is a "Simple to Make" sleeveless playsuit with a square neckline, back button closing, and patch pockets, worn on its own or layered under a separate full circular skirt. The skirt gathers onto elastic at the back waistline and closes with self-fabric tie ends, letting the same playsuit convert from play clothes to party wear. View 1 is trimmed with two interwoven colors of rick-rack; View 2 is trimmed with heavy lace. Twelve pieces total.
A Moment in Fashion History
Convertible playsuit-and-skirt sets like this one gave late-1950s parents real flexibility from a single pattern - a practical romper for active play that could be dressed up in seconds with the addition of a full, elastic-backed skirt. The two trim options, interwoven rick-rack or heavy lace, let the same simple silhouette read as either sporty or special-occasion.
