Etsy Monday October 15th three vintage Simplicity patterns

These three Simplicity patterns from 1955 are all a size 16, for a 34" bust.

These patterns were NEVER USED! so all the pieces are there and ready for you to use!
Get all three for $40 until Monday October 29th. Normally they are listed for $20 each. Since they are unused you do not have to worry about missing pieces. A good way to start building your 1950's wardrobe.

Body measurements: 34" bust, 28" waist, 37" hip.
Simplicity 1199 features both a straight and gored skirt on a shirt collar bodice that can have short sleeves or be sleeveless.

Simplicity 1159 has a full skirt on a raglan bodice

Simplicity 1445 features a dropped waist, with an absolutely stunning detail as the darts become tabs bellow the waist as well as offering up both a straight and full skirt.

Here is a closer look at those darts.

So for now until Monday October 29th, you can get all three patterns for $40. I have them listed for $20 each normally.
