Description
From the Folder Back
This is an exact duplicate of the garment worn for centuries by village women in Gaza. The loose-fitting ankle-length dress has long sleeves, slightly narrowed at the wrists, three side panels on each side, shoulder and front yokes, and front slit opening. This pattern adjusts to fit sizes 6-18. Two optional embroidery designs are included for the front yoke, as well as suggestions for other authentic decorations.
Pattern Specifics
Folkwear 101 includes the full-size pattern pieces, and instructions for making the Gaza Dress. Enlarge the photo for a better look at the details. Let me know if you’d like to see the envelope back. This is sized for Misses’ Small-Average-Tall / 6-18. The folder measures 11″ x 8-1/2″ and the pattern is printed on tissue paper.
Condition
See photo. The folder is in good condition for age (1982) with some storage, particularly on the corners as would be expected. The pattern and instruction sheets are as new in original factory folds. Comes in original lap-top baggy. No names or other markings. From clean, smoke-free home.
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.
