Wonderful pattern for a sleek dress with pleats in the front skirt, plus a sewn jacket--and a pattern to crochet a jacket-cardigan in classic 1960s Chanel-inspired style.

All mail-order companies from the midcentury turned out to be one company, making patterns available through newspaper and other orders--a great convenience for people who wanted good fashion and couldn't get to the fancy city fabric stores.

Under the sizing rubric the company was using at the time, a size 22. 5 had a 43-inch bust.

All pieces are present, and everything is in decent shape. This is a pattern, remember, and it shows some wear.

My home is nonsmoking and pet-loving. The cats and dog don't sew, but they might help me tape up the package. Also, this is a item acquired from someone else; I don't know its full history as to potential allergens.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Virginia.
