Emily, you da woman!

Now this is weird. Ebay item 180145439894 is the pattern, but it
appears that B'rick recycled their pattern numbers several times.
"Misses 5pc coordinates" from the days of 65-cent patterns. And a
fitted A-line dress with mock wrap front. Hey, just like the cell
phone companies.

Thanks again for the number...will track it down!

I mentioned finding the pattern and now my older DGD wants one made for her
in a lavender stripe, which will look great since she is very tall and slim.
She enjoys wearing the styles of the 60s & 70s especially, but also some
from the 80s.

Back in the mid-80s it was available in a 14-16-18. Dunno if it was
any bigger than that.

HEY! Guess what I found!!

Turns out I not only have several plastic storage baskets (patern
envelope size), but also a large picnic basket with patterns in it.
Needless to say, the wicker basket ones have been out of service for a
while.

I not only found the subject pattern, but also a McCall's cheapie
version (See & Sew?). Looks like I used that one more than the Brick
(patch pockets part of design).

Now to locate my new purple & red aloha border print, see if there's a
match...

(I also found all my Civil War doo-dads for my ballgowns. Same lats &
longs.)
