Design
This six-piece circular skirt is cut from seven pattern pieces total and closes at the left side seam. Front, side-front, back, and side-back panels are shaped for a smooth, circular flare through the hem, with about 1⅞ yards of sweep at the lower edge in a size 28. At the top, a two-piece upstanding band gives a fitted, structured waistline, worn beneath a wide belt finished with a buckle - both the band and belt are optional and may be left off for a simpler waist finish. The illustration shows the skirt both with and without this upper treatment, letting the design read as either a dressed-up or plain everyday piece.
A Moment in Fashion History
Sold as a separate rather than part of a full dress or ensemble, Pattern 146 reflects the practical, mix-and-match approach many home sewers took to their wardrobes in the early 1930s - a single well-cut circular skirt, styled up with a wide belt and standing band or worn plain, could be paired with whatever blouse or jacket was already on hand.
