Fashions for the 1940s! Keep in mind that these patterns are more than 60 years old! Most have damage to the pattern envelope corners and edges - this is not always noted in the description. Many have shoulder pads and these are not always mentioned in the description. Please email me to ask about specific envelope condition if that is important to you! If patterns have been cut, all pieces are present and in good condition unless otherwise noted. Pattern envelopes may have stamped or written marks from stores or previous owners. Only one copy of a pattern is available unless specifically stated otherwise.
Shipping is calculated by the total of your order. For orders over $5, you will be charged for Priority Mail Shipping. It may be possible and cost less to ship by USPS First Class Parcel ($3-4). If you prefer the less expensive shipping option, please add a note when you check out. I will refund your excess payment.
