Having been a slave to the shift dress for so long, I recently decided I wanted a comfortable cotton shirtwaist. So I sewed up a pattern in my stash that had long been ignored - Simplicity 5877. The pattern is from 1965, and is very Ladies Auxiliary, very Junior League, and I love it. It does need a belt, and will have one, if I can figure out how to make a matching one. The pattern instructions said to "have belt made or wear with purchased belt." I'd love to know where I can go in this day and age to get a belt made for a shirtwaist.
