How do I get a US pattern?

I have fallen for Simplicity 8856, despite the fact that I hate tissue patterns.



Unfortunately, as far as I can tell it is only available in the US.  There are two listings on Ebay, but one would end up costing over £20 and the other seems unsure as to what exactly they're selling, and would take a month to arrive.

Is there another way?

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Amazon.com will ship to the U.K...I’ve bought several things from them

I received the pattern today!  I did pay a little extra to expedite it, but it was only a couple of pounds. 

I now need to work out whether my 2m of 54" wide fabric will be enough for the version that says it needs 2.2m of 60" wide fabric...  probably will, I reckon.
