Please read all of the below carefully before buying! You are bidding on a lovingly created digital vintage sewing pattern styled from Eclair Coupe's drafting system from 1950s: an original design from Paris. This pattern has been drafted by the traditional method to remain true to vintage style and method, with the addition of being confirmed true by modern techniques. And of course, being made into multi sized patterns for ease of size selection and fitting. Coupe writes "Evening dress composed of a bustier and a skirt where the fullness is given by large pleated insets on the sides. Yardage: 7m in 100cm wide." Coupe does not include a pattern for the belt, but does include a template for the bust cuff. Essential information: The user will need to add own seam allowances, create facings, and cut out. The user will need to determine if preferred bust point is needed (as with many modern patterns even), and make any personal shape/preference alterations to the pattern (as with any pattern). No instructions are included, sewer will need to work out yardage, fabric layout and construction methods. I would recommend constructing an inexpensive toile first. Shipping to the UK is by Royal Mail second class post. Shipping to the rest of the world is by Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed for. Any excess postal charges will be refunded. POSTAGE Oct 2023: Royal Mail has increased domestic post from £1.85 to £2.30 for the majority of the products on sale. (Postage is always combined). For international orders I cannot predict the exact weight of each order for every country: so after purchase, when dispatching, I always refund significant postage overages (or for domestic I may choose a faster service). I use signed and tracked for international orders as it seems the standard service items don't always reach their destination.
