Another flashback goodie - 1980's Simplicity 9556. This was a popular Jiffy pattern, my sister even had one. Try your luck in thrift stores, eBay, etc. I used a peached knit to give my 2007 version a little bit of weight and drape, even though knits were not listed on the envelope as a suggested fabric. Simplicity's patterns were still pretty well drafted back then; I was surprised and happy to discover the shoulder stays put. (Check my blog for a photo of the pattern piece). A classic design with today's fabrics and notions (thank goodness for Steam-A-Seam 2!), creates a fun summer top.
