I got this pattern a while back from Mom's Patterns (link on the sidebar), I have no idea what year it is as I didn't make a note when I bought it and they didn't seem to put the year on the postmark and it's not on the printed pattern instructions.
The pattern includes a short sleeve version of the top shirt and a long sleeve version of the bottom shirt. The pattern was uncut which is always lovely but kind of sad that the person who originally owned it never made it up, I always wonder why that was (perhaps they were just a hopeless pattern collector like me!).
This is my version from fabric found in my local fabric shop that just had to be used for this pattern.
This shirt went together incredibly easily, even the front neck pieces which have facings on them, something like that on a modern pattern is always a real pain to get to lie flat but this fit first time around.
I'll definitely be making this shirt again, perhaps in a more floaty fabric next time so that the sleeves drape a tiny bit better.
I will do my dress soon, it is another mail order pattern and has yet more gathers, considering the fact that I don't like sewing gathers I seem to be wanting to wear them all the time for some reason!
