these are exactly the sort of thing I misguidedly wore in the Seventies! Peasant maxis

I remember when my mother and sisters all dressed in identical dresses like this - unbearably twee!

Those were the days, my friend! Baby doll dresses!

Did you have some of these too?

OK, I admit it - I used to wear some purple bell bottoms made for me by my mother without any shame at all!

It was pretty simple in those days!

How about those skirts!

How about those ruffles!

Those were the days, my friend!

Those were the days - so elegant!

I used to sew from Simplicity patterns ... back in the dark ages!

Such elegance in those days!

Another vintage clothes pattern for you!

Thought you might enjoy the occasional vintage pattern. Love those pant suits! Or are they culottes?
