What You Get
Simplicity 8629 which includes the tissue paper patterns and the sewing instructions for making these dresses designed especially for dancing. The flared eight gore skirt is stitched to bodice at fitted waistline, with back zipper and hand or machine-stitched hems. Bodice A is taken right from the 40’s, and has sweetheart neckline shaped front yoke, and gathered sleeves with sleeve headings to help keep them puffed. Sleeveless bodice B from the 50’s features front notched detail. Extra seam allowances have been included to allow for alterations for a better fitting dress. Enlarge the photo above to get a better look. Let me know if you want additional information. This Retro Costume Collection pattern was designed by Theresa LaQuey and is sized for women who wear Misses’ 16-18-20 (38-42″ bust). The UPC is 0-39363-22750-2.

Shipping
Generally sent the same day you pay. Unless you request otherwise, I will back this with one piece of box cardboard (to help prevent the Post Office from bending it), wrap it in plastic wrap (to help protect the item from moisture or torn packaging), then send inside a manila envelope when sent via First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation. This is the cheapest postage option that includes both item protection and tracking. See the shipping page to give you an estimate on the cost of a First Class 2 package. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
