They occasionally gave me hand-me-downs. I remember a handmade floral print dress very similar to this!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336382489523622350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-43579676326648799292017-10-11T08:45:33.759-07:002017-10-11T08:45:33.759-07:00I like the turquoise check with the rickrack.

If the Quality Shop has ghosts of the living, we are there, and I am also across the street at the newer (also no longer there) fabric store also, forever haunting, the fabric isles.

I can't say for sure it was this pattern but I made a few dresses just like this in 8th grade homemaking. For one I even made a matching bag just like the one shown. My dress was a floral with bright pink, turquoise and other colors and I used a string of hot pink beads for the strap. My favorite on the pattern is the bright floral. Your favorite models were also my favorites! But I think I liked Colleen Corby the best because we both had long dark brown hair and dark eyes.Sunnyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911301495494108505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-55079413144486066202017-10-10T15:46:53.958-07:002017-10-10T15:46:53.958-07:00Heidi,

I didn't have a dress like these but I have a class photo of sister Alice with two other girls with brightly striped (psychedelic) dresses with the puff sleeves like the model in the center of the poster. I will send you a crop of the photo. Alice is wearing a cute orange/white/pink diagonal striped cotton shift dress (just like mine in my class photo) made by our mother.<br /><br />I really like the short and long sleeved styles of this pattern but my favorites are the stripes and the flowers in the poster.<br /><br />CandiceCandicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395886364735533217noreply@blogger.com
