What You Get
Simplicity 8640 which includes the full-size tissue-paper pattern pieces and instructions for making this dress that could date from the 1910s to 1930s, but has similarities to the “Flying” dress Rose wore in the Titanic movie. This two-piece dress has slightly flared pull-on skirt with elastic waistline casing, concealed drawstring forming side gathers and self fabric flounce attached to skirt lining. The tunic has side zipper, sweetheart neckline, long bell sleeves and contrast bodice front inset with lace or sheer overlay, has lined peplum with shaped hem and purchased tassels. View A has contrast pointed collar and sleeve trim with covered buttons, front panel trim with lace or sheer overlay. View B has purchased lace motifs, lace or sheer sleeves with ribbon trim. The sash has gathered front stitched to tie ends. Enlarge to view the details. Let me know if you’d like to see the envelope back. This is sized for Misses’ 18-20-22 (40-44″ bust).
Condition
See photo. The envelope is in very good condition with normal storage. The instruction and instruction sheets are as new in original factory fold. No names or other markings. From clean, smoke-free home.
Shipping
Generally sent same day payment arrives. 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.
