THIS GIRL'S 5168 SIMPLICITY TUNIC, JUMPER, AND PANTS PATTERN LOOKS NEARLY NEW, DESPITE BEING 45-YEARS-OLD.
A SIZE 10, WITH CHEST 28-1/2" AND WAIST 24-1/2", IT'S EXTRA SPECIAL IF YOU'RE FROM KANSAS CITY, BECAUSE IT'S STAMPED THAT IT WAS SOLD AT SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. PLAZA STORE, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. THE PLAZA IS A FAMOUS SHOPPING/RESTAURANT AREA IN KANSAS CITY, KNOWN FOR ITS BEAUTIFUL FOUNTAINS.
I DISCOVERED THIS PATTERN AND SOME OTHERS IN A SMALL TOWN ANTIQUE STORE, WHERE IT MAY HAVE LIVED A LONG TIME IN THE UPSTAIRS AREA, WHERE FEW SHOPPERS DARED TO SHOP. I DIDN'T LOVE THE CREAKY FLOORS OR OTHERWISE CREEPY MERCHANDISE, LIKE LIFE-SIZE CARDBOARD PEOPLE SCATTERED ABOUT AND "STARING" AT ME. BUT I DID LOVE FINDING SOME JEWELS AMONG THE JUNK.
THIS CUTE PATTERN NEEDS A NEW HOME--MAYBE YOU WANT TO USE THIS ACTUAL PATTERN TO CREATE ADORABLE STYLES FOR YOUR LITTLE ONES, USING UPDATED FABRICS. OR, MAYBE YOU COULD FRAME THIS PRECIOUS JUMP-BACK-IN-TIME LOOK FOR A LITTLE GIRL'S ROOM, A BABY GIRL'S NURSERY, OR TO BRING A SPECIAL SMILE TO A GUEST BATHROOM, CREATIVE SPACE, OR LAUNDRY ROOM.
HOW CAN YOU SAY NO TO TUNICS AND BELL BOTTOMS?
