My Mom is amazingly anal retentive and labels all her patterns when she buys them. These are all labelled 1984. I love the smocked dress!! I'm not sure I am up to smocking yet, but maybe by the time Myra is big enough for this dress I will be. It starts at a size 3, so I have a few years. The pleated skirt in the middle is so cute, and I can't wait to make that long dress on top with the pintucked bodice! I'm glad to see some boy stuff, too. Maybe a duckie vest wouldn't be too girlie??

A visit
My Dad came over yesterday for a short visit on his way to Seattle to see my sister (and take her all of her stuff). He brought me a bunch of stuff my Mom has had hanging around since we were kids. Look at the yummy Little Vogue patterns!!

I am NOT anal-retentive.
Someday, when an Archeologist or (ahem) Textile Archivist finds these patterns he/she will be delighted to have their provenance verified. These are a Primary Source of historical information.
What about combining duckies and blue denim for a vest and long shorts? Make the shorts out of duckies, put denim (chambray in a denim color) pockets on, a denim cuff, and a vest or a denim colored shirt with a duck appliqued onto it down towards the bottom, maybe with a puddle?
