Original Simplicity Vintage 1971 Barbie and Ken Sewing Pattern 9697.

Pattern Purchase. Remember to check your measurements against those listed on the pattern ... vintage pattern sizing varies from today's sizing charts! Vintage clothing was often made much smaller than today's fashion. Keep that in mind when shopping for patterns. Other items: I try my best to describe sizing and measurements. Ask before buying if you're unsure. Most items sold here are in vintage state which is another words are OLD/USED/PREOWNED/WORN BY SOMEBODY ELSE BEFORE YOU. Unless otherwise stated, 99% of our stock is in this "state of being" and you should be able to understand this concept and adjust your expectations. New /Upcylced/handmade Items: All handmade items are made by me. They are mostly made with used/preowned items.

Photos are of the actual item you will receive. Please keep in mind when assessing the item, that all are vintage and therefor will have normal wear. Keep in mind that eventhough it is mentionned Factory folded in patterns it does not mean that the item is new. I always try to describe every item in detail, noting any irregularities so that you can make an informed decision and there are no surprises when my item arrives. As computer monitors differ, colors may also vary slightly. My home is smoke-free! Because my items are collected from many sources, I cannot verify that they have never been exposed to cigarette smoke. I will, if detectable, mention any odors in my descriptions.

We ship by ground unless you request otherwise and are willing to pay extra- and for airmail and/or insurance over $100 and/or signed receipt of delivery it will be painfully expensive. Import duties, VAT taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to purchasing. I will not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts". I try to be as accurate as possible when charging for the shipping fees, But, since it is very hard to calculate accurately, sometimes there are discrepancies that are out of my control. I always charge a flat shipping fee.

I happily combine shipping if more than one item is perchased. The amount you owe will vary and will be determined by the shape, size and weight of the items you purchased. If you'd like, you can convo me for a shipping quote before you buy or go ahead and purchase and I will gladly refund the shipping overage. I will not give you a shipping credit for items purchased hours or days later..!
