Description

...Population of Jonasville: women= 3294, men= 0.
Desperation had reached fever pitch. Some of the town's female inhabitants would wander round in full bridal dress just so they could pounce on any unsuspecting man who passed through. (Then they could drag him to the altar before any other hussy got her hands on him. ) But today was a day of unbearable excitement, and there was a lot of hopeful gazing up at the sky. Old Mother Grady (the resident Wise Woman) had issued a prophecy that could change the town's fortunes forever:
"Tonight for the first time

Just about half-past ten

For the first time in history

It's gonna start raining men...."

Hallelujah-worthy wedding gown or evening dress and bolero by Simplicity:

"Dress features fitted bodice and full gathered skirt. View 1 has shaped peplum stitched in waistline. Skirt, bow and trim are of one fabric; bodice and peplum are contrasting. View 2 is trimmed with piping and narrow bow. Jacket has push up kimono sleeves."

DATE:
---------

There is no date on the envelope, but the pattern is from the 1950s.

SIZE:
--------

34" bust, 37" hip.

CONDITION:
-------------------

All pattern pieces and instructions are present and correct. Pattern pieces, like all Simplicity patterns of this period, are pre-cut to size and unprinted, with markings indicated by perforations (explained in the instructions). Pieces are in good usable condition, with a couple of tiny tears at edges that should not affect usability.
The envelope is holding together, but has some crumpling and age discoloration, and a tear to the bottom right corner.
