The jacket has the most wonderful pockets, which join into the front dart. The skirt is a no-nonsense eight gore number. A tied belt softens the lines of the whole thing just a bit.
Now, here's where the adventure part comes in: i'm not positive of the size of this pattern. It's stamped on the top right corner, but it's not a complete impression. I think it's a Size 14, which would in this case mean a 32" bust, but it's also possible that it's a Size 16, which would be a 34" bust. But isn't a jacket this slick worth a muslin to get the fit right? I thought so.
What do you have to do to have a chance to win this lovely stocking stuffer? To enter, all you need to do is to stop by the shop, pick out your favorite item, and leave a link to it in a comment here. I'll draw for a winner on Thursday, December 16, at 3:00 p.m. EST, so be sure to make your choice and leave your comment by then!
(For those who want more details on the pattern, it's pre-cut and complete, instructions are in good shape and the envelope is quite nice; the skirt pieces appear to be unused, but the jacket front and back show wear at notches and perforations, and on the jacket front there's a small tear at the inside of the curve of the pocket, size uncertain but probably a 32" or 34" bust measurement.)

Ah, pattern illustration is its own special kind of fiction... no one has ever been built that way.
Oh I'd love to give this pattern a go!

This is my favourite! And the torn sides also make it EVEN more vintage and antique-ish, love it heaps!
love the dressings so much, i love how the hips seem so much larger due to the ballooning of the outfit! Especially with the BELT (genius!!!) all tightly wrapped around the slimmest area on the waist.
I love how unique the pieces are! And they're also affordable!
Thank you!
