A dirndl skirt in swing length and artfully puffed short sleeves - very nice! Add sash ties or not. The style looks especially cute when contrasting fabrics are used. I rather prefer view 2, myself. :)

Happy Mother's Day: Mother-Daughter Fashion from the Mid-1940s
With Mother's Day only a few days away, it seems timely to post about that wonderful fashion trend of the 1940s and 1950s, Mother-Daughter fashion! This trend to dress mothers and daughters in matching outfits certainly provided charm for the ladies in the family. In this post, I feature mother-daughter dresses from the mid-1940s that are perfect for spring and summer.

Mother-Daughter Fashions - What a Delight!
Mother-Daughter Fashion month was great fun! A bonus for all who purchased a mother-daughter pattern was a free 1950s pattern for mother-daughter purses.
If you didn't find a mother-daughter pattern that you liked, but *would* like the free pattern for the mother-daughter purses, just send me a message via Conversations on Etsy with your email address. I will gladly send you a copy.
Let me conclude with a few more of the mother-daughter patterns that you might have missed:

Mother-Daughter Fashions - How Sweet They Are!
While certainly not limited to the 40s, 50s, and 60s, matching mother-daughter fashion was enormously popular in those decades. What could be more appealing to mothers sewing for their families than sewing up matching outfits for their daughters and themselves? Whether featured as specific patterns, or just to illustrate advertisements for products, mother and daughter in matching outfits appear in the fashion and popular magazines of the day.
In honor of Mother's Day next month, I will begin posting mother-daughter patterns in my shop in the coming weeks. Here is a preview to entice you, so be watching! :D

While most mother-daughter fashions consist of a separate pattern for mother and a separate pattern for daughter, some patterns include patterns for both mother and daughter in the same envelope.
