Simplicity 8654 - 1940s Vintage Skirt, Shorts and Tie Top Pattern

The Simplicity 8654 is perfect for anyone looking to create a vintage-inspired look.

This 1940s vintage skirt, shorts, and tie‑top ensemble capture the effortless charm of wartime summer fashion. The set features a classic short‑sleeved blouse that ties in front, creating the iconic 1940s bare‑midriff silhouette. The tailored shorts are smartly designed with front and back pleats for a crisp, flattering fit, while the softly full skirt includes a shaped yoke with side gathers that release into a graceful A‑line shape. The mix‑and‑match pieces make this pattern wonderfully versatile for warm‑weather wardrobes - pair the tie‑front top with the skirt for a feminine daytime look or wear it with the pleated shorts for a sporty, pin‑up‑inspired style. 

This pattern is classed as 'average' to create and comes with detailed instructions that make it perfect for the more experienced sewers.
