Halter Dress

a closeup of Shelley from the Simplicity pattern 9885 package cover, 1972

Shelley appeared in many Simplicity pattern catalogs, brochures and packaging during the 1960s and 1970s. In 1972, she appeared in pattern packaging 9885, a super simple mini-dress. It had a halter neckline, an empire waist, of course, a short hemline. It was perfect for spring and summer and could be made with plain or printed fabric. Shelley looked sunny in it.
