Here it is - the third Pattern Giveaway from
Wasp Waists and Wiggle Skirts!
Simplicity Number 1043
Size: Bust 38 Waist 32 Hips 41
The pattern has a slim skirt and a Sweetheart Neckline with optional ruffle and tie trim. There are two sleeve options - either three-quarter length or short sleeved and again, there is an optional ruffle trim. My favourite part of this pattern (other than the jumping dog print on the mauve dress) is the ruffle detailing on the pockets! I may just have to steal the idea!
As always, leave a comment below to be entered for this giveaway. If you leave a comment in your blog linking back to this giveaway, I'll enter you twice!
The draw will take place on September 21st.
Good luck!

ps This pattern is 65 years old and has therefore had it's share of wear and tear. All the pieces are complete (I checked) but the envelope is in rough shape. Also, please note that this pattern is a punched (or perforated) pattern, not a printed pattern.
i love the neckline of the dress! and the ruffled pockets of course!

I love how this dress is not your usual 1940s dress! So different yet, so pretty!

What a marvelous pattern, thank you very much for offering it up to your readers! I love 1940s dresses to no end, they encompassed such a splendid mix of practicality and feminine beauty.
Wishing you a gorgeous Monday & week ahead,
♥ Jessica
