A Simplicity 7940…a Misses’ Simple To Sew Jiffy Dress Sewing Pattern in Size 14.

The pattern is cut and all the pieces are there.   The original seamstress cut out V. 3.  The instructions are there, but have a tear.  The envelope is in very good condition with tanning, tiny tears and a store stamp.  The envelope flap is still attached.  Copyright 1968.

I got carried away by the Sears Roebuck & Co 1255 stamp on the envelope front.  Hard to remember that department stores used to carry patterns, fabric and notions.

Pattern Description

“The dress with raised neckline has back zipper.  V. 1 & 2 have long set-in sleeves.  V. 1 & 3 have ribbon trim and optional purchased belt.  V. 2 has top-stitched self fabric belt.  V. 3 is sleeveless.”

Size 14: Bust 36”, Waist 27”, Hip 38”

All patterns are vintage items and sold…AS IS.  Although I maintain a smoke-free and a pet-free studio, I have no control over where items have been previously.  I attempt to represent my goods as honestly as possible, but sometimes something will get by.  If you have any doubts about an item, E-MAIL ME!  I want to make sure that you will be pleased with your purchase.  I will make a refund as merchandise credit; buyer pays for return shipments.

Pattern comes in a zip 2 mil. plastic bag and is shipped in an envelope with a cardboard insert.  The zip bag is great for storing the pattern!

Please note that I count the pattern pieces unless factory folded, assess the pattern’s condition and press the pattern as necessary.  You will never purchase a pattern from me with “It looks like it’s all there” or ‘Pieces need pressing”.
