Do you mean vintage Butterick 5061; ca. late 1960s; Misses' One-Piece Dress. Semi-fitted slim dress with standing neckline, has contrast or self side front insets. Short sleeves.. The other is nightgown. http://butterick.mccall.com/b5061-products-7674.php?page_id=385

Beautiful Nancy. If you are concerned about the style it is VERY it! The Vintage/Retro movement has been growing and many of the big four pattern companies have started to make designs such as your beautiful blouses with pin tucks and peter pan collar. Both features which I LOVE.

Thanks for the encouragement Scheri. I saw your peter pan collared sassy librarian blouse and it really inspired me. You are always so inspiring. I dont know how to sew it right though. Had a hard time with collars without facing because as you know I just follow what we have been taught here. Will have to email you if I have questions. They are having a sale right now at sewing patterns. Do check it out. Thanks again.

I enjoyed making it but I dont know if it is in style though. I think it is very old fashioned. Just the same, it fits me well and i have learned to make peter pan collar ang stuff like that. thanks for the comment. Is is quite feminine isnt it?
