Vintage Patterns: Sheer Beauties

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: Two camisoles - one with halter neck - and a shawl. Lacy patterning is created by drop stitches. "Kismet is a subtle blend of acrylic and mohair, giving a soft and feminine look while retaining machine washability"; as an acrylic yarn it had a very good yardage so bear that in mind when substituting.
