Ah one of my favourite eras, the 1970's. When I first ventured into the realm of vintage patterns I was looking for styles similar to the clothes Mary Richards wore on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Now I bought some lovely patterns and the only one that I have made up from that first buy was the pinafore which features in anearlier posts. Not actually a salute to Mary that one. When looking on line for vintage patterns these days I find it hard to go past some of the lovely summer dresses from that period. The material I used for this first effort is the cheap basic 100% cotton. I would have loved to have found some stripes. Also it was a tad on the snug side around my waist. I will certainly be making this pattern up again. I love the square neckline. The first time I wore it my friend Lee-Anne told me it looked a bit Alice in Wonderland. Well I usually do hear pieces of cake calling to me "eat me" and I always oblige.
