Vintage Patterns: Waistcoat and skirt suit

Please note:

Recent changes (a 70% increase) to the UK postage rates for printed papers sent outside the UK have meant that the price of a pattern for overseas buyers is now about 80% of the cost of the item. I can only apologise for this as I have simply transparently passed the increase on to the buyer. The only mitigation I can offer is to ensure a reduction of excess postage for multiple items shipped together.

Description: Lovely waistcoat pattern, stylish, and very much of its time, with the large tagged zips and horseshoe neck features - a boxy shaped jacket for the man and a mini-skirt option for the woman. There are simple cable panels on the waistcoats - and the matching skirt has a single lobster claw cable at the front.
Generally in good condition - the picture has a faint stamp from the original sales shop.
