*** Vintage 1940s War Time Bestway Dress Pattern *** Frock for medium and outsize figures: Five piece skirt. Inlet panel at front set into inverted box-pleat at centre. Central seam at back. Bodice has yoke and waist-band cut in one with front panel. Pleated inlet side sections. Plain back. Long sleeves are gathered into wrist-bands and darted at tops. This war-time pattern was produced at a time of cloth rationing, and there is a note on the pattern to reminding professional dressmakers of the restrictions in the purchase of cloth!   *** Warning! Don't miss out - don't get sniped! *** Don't be one of those people who emails me after an auction ends because they missed out in the closing moments. Don't get caught out by last-second "sniping" - remember to bid your maximum and let ebay bid automatically on your behalf (learn more about automatic bidding), to avoid being pipped to the post in the final minutes.   *** More in my shop *** If you love this, you may like some of my other items - please take a moment to look through my Ebay shop for lots more great vintage and retro clothing, bags and accessories. I specialise in sourcing unusual and unique items not available elsewhere, and I'm adding more all the time, so please put me in your favourites list so you'll always know where to find me.   * Small-but-important Print * I try to describe items accurately and honestly. Please ask me any questions before bidding - I usually respond within 24 hours. Items described as new are brand new. I mostly list vintage and antique pieces that I have accumulated over years of collecting. They usually do show signs of their age - but this is the nature of such pieces, and in my view all adds to their unique charm. All descriptions and attributions as to the age of an item are my opinion only, arrived at from my experience in handling antiques and given in good faith. I am, however, by no means an expert in all fields and am always open to correction. Please complete checkout or email payment queries within 2 days of auction end. Payment within 5 working days. I am happy to combine postage whenever possible, for items paid in a single transaction. Standard Royal Mail covers up to £39 in value, so I reserve the right to charge the cost of Recorded Delivery for items of value higher than £39. Returns accepted only under exceptional circumstances, and unless I have grossly misrepresented the item, will not include postage and may be subject to a handling fee to cover my time, effort and costs.
