A cutting diagram and information on the required yardage are included. To keep prices down, SEWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED. If you require Construction Steps for your pattern, please let me know before placing your order. - NO hem or seam allowance. - NO detailed instruction, only the notches and symbols, and named lines basic instructions. - NO step-by-step illustrations to go with instructions - NO cutting charts for individual sizes, the cutting diagram are for a stacked, graded pattern so some sizes may require less fabric. However, I can write some basic construction steps if you need or any specific steps in the process that you would like me to describe. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ . . . . . . This is a Jacket design pattern made exclusively for you, with your custom size or standard size. You will have your vintage design ready to cut and sew. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ . . . . . . Prices for custom (made to measure) sizes are the price of the pattern plus €20 Choose the pattern and then add the following item to your cart : CUSTOM SIZE SEWING PATTERN https://www.etsy.com/listing/102701185/custom-size-sewing-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_1 FOR CUSTOM SIZES convo me your measurements and specify your body type. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html Once you’ve taken your measurements, please paste them into the “Note” box on the Order page. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ How to choose a STANDARD SIZE? I can make standard sizes S, M, L, or XL with small adjustments to better fit you. Sizes are a tricky issue, and there aren’t any hard and fast rules, but I’d say my list of sizes is more European than American. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html The best way to know your size is to take some measurements of yourself and use them to gauge your size. I can also modify a pattern to better fit your measurements. For example: You choose size S (Europe 40-42). If your body is closer to the first number, 86 (Upper bust/Torax 86-88 cm), than the second, 88, please tell me. Otherwise, the pattern will be the standard size S of between 86-88 cm for the upper bust. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ All sizes, both standard and custom, can be modified to your liking (for example, waist higher or lower; skirt longer, shorter, wider, narrower, unpleated, etc.). A dress can be made as either one or two pieces—as a blouse and skirt, for instance. Please specify any of these alterations by email, or at the bottom of the form “Taking measurements”.

A hand selected mystery box in a light academia aesthetic with a vintage vibe. Feel romantic about mathematics? Swoon at the idea of going on an archeology dig? Love the smell of libraries, the tedious task of inking up your fountain pens, or just getting studious tucked away in the corner of a favorite coffee shop? Me too. With a focus on high quality and natural fabrics, vintage and well made modern pieces, all sustainably sourced, I aim to provide clothing and accessories in these boxes that will showcase your love for the arts and higher learning.

Be enlightened: 3 item Bundle- 2 tops, 1 bottom 5 item Bundle- 2 tops, 2 bottoms, 1 small accessory (tie, scarf, jewelry, etc...) 7 item Bundle- 3 tops, 2 bottoms, 1 small accessory, 1 large accessory (shoes, bag, etc...) *if a dress is included, it may substitute for either a top or bottom. Please note, photos are examples of pieces and styles you may receive, not actual items. I will hand pick the items for you based on the information you provide me. Items will be sustainably sourced, may be second hand, vintage, or modern pieces that fit the aesthetic, and in some instances may be new with tags. Items will not be fast fashion brands, poorly made, or show excessive wear. I prefer to include natural fabrics or natural fabric blends, but good condition, quality man made materials will also be included.

Tea Leaves, 1909 William McGregor Paxton (American, 1869–1941) Oil on canvas 36 1/8 x 28 3/4 in. (91.6 x 71.9 cm) Gift of George A. Hearn, 1910 (10.64.8) In a windowless parlor permeated by soft light, a dreamy atmosphere, and the sounds of silence, two elegant women pass the time by doing very little or nothing at all. Paxton hints at a narrative, but he asks that the viewer invent it, recapitulating the ambiguity of Vermeer's paintings, which he admired. Paxton often depicted refined women—like his patrons' wives and daughters—at leisure in handsome Boston interiors of the sort that they, as keepers of culture, would have decorated and occupied. By equating women with the precious aesthetic objects that surround them, Paxton echoes the spirit of the novelist Henry James, who portrayed women as collectible objects in The American (1877) and Portrait of a Lady (1881). Paxton's works also accord with pronouncements by the sociologist Thorstein Veblen, who observed in his Theory of the Leisure Class (1899) that a woman's "conspicuous leisure" signaled the wealth of her father or husband.
