Description

Due to the pandemic - and lock down of our immediate region....
Shipping will be delayed .... we will try to ship on the First and Fifteenth of the month
but cannot Guarantee ... Please be patient ...... we will ship ASAP
Thank-you for your Cooperation....
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
Very Sorry - the postal rate increase has been brutal as they are
classified as packages due to thickness and overall size....
any excess shipping over will be refunded
As you may or may not know - clothing designs cannot be patented ....
this design was originally drawn by London designer Belinda Bellville and it was marketed by Vogue Patterns (which now sells for up)
this is the Simplicity version... with a slight variation
I will be more than willing to instruct the buyer how they can make the original version of this dress with little change....
in fact - on some levels it is less complicated ~ but far more dramatic
it is an ingenious design which incorporates the darts into the construct of the dress....
and the options for decorating are endless..... whether it is decorative overstitching in a contrasting color
or an addition of a prestitched embroidery accent or some sort of sequins design under the bust
one of my favorite patterns of all time .... I constructed it in three different forms and they were all stunning
this is a VERY EASY project - anyone with experience sewing will find the construction very intuitive....
if you need another size - we can send you the link for professionally re-sizing patterns
THANKS for Looking!
