I am looking for vintage patterns from the 1960's for a girls 3 arm-holed dress. The ones I have seen online that have already been snatched up specifically are McCalls 9181, Butterick 4698 and Simplicity 7572. My Mother made these for use in Florida back in 1968! The pattern is very easy to make and wonderful as a cooler summer dress or a cover up. thanks for your patiencedonna

I've long forgotten about this pattern. I reminds me of the paper dresses in the late 60's early 70's. ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."
