And finally, I am sharing just a few more of her patterns. This one (6978) belongs to Lori - yes, she has had it all these many years. Love it! Can't you just imagine how cute that middle version would be in a sweet lightweight knit with a mini-floral design?
I shared this one in a previous post about aprons - pinafore, hat and bag:

The long and short of it, here in a style that ties in the back:

I very clearly remember tops similar to these designs being sold in the shops - in fact Lori had one that was quite similar in style. I loved them; I especially like that purple one:

Is this pattern with it's suit and separates adorable, or what??

If I still had the figure for them, I would be more than happy to wear many of these vintage styles still today. I want to congratulate Betsey for her longevity and success as a fashion designer and business woman. I adore her for her uniqueness and individuality, and I happen to think she is nothing short of fabulous.
