Simplicity 5577. Oh-so-Brady pattern from 1973. I think this might be the best 70s shirt ever designed.
This is a scan of the original instructions for Simplicity 2042 Pattern Sheet 1
The original tissue is over 50 years old, so rather than further damage the paper, I have scanned the pattern instructions.
If you need any assistance with terminology, resizing, fabric selection or any other aspect of creating this lovely vintage pattern, please contact me.

Fabric is AMH voile, black linen blend from Joann's and a pink cotton broadcloth lining.
this is my first time with this pattern and i'm not sure i made the right size. the waist is snug but i have horizontal creases above the bust line when i wear it. i'm not a garment pro, but after a google search, i think i may need to try a hollow chest adjustment? or a sba? not sure which.
i modified the pattern a bit by lining the bodice but then when it came time to attach the bodice to the skirt and zip, i treated the bodice as one piece and left my seams visible. that then left the question of how i would deal with the side seams without using an armhole facing, so i decided to wing it and use french seams for the sides.
Overall, a fun dress to make and i would like to try again and have the bodice fit a bit better next time...
I chose to make it sleeveless. It was suppose to have short puffed sleeves. I found the pattern to run large so I decided to eliminate the bulk.It is a cute summer top. It is worn with simplicity 4036 A line skirt. Swing by my blog www.colourbynumber.blogspot.com for more details of outfit!
Hilariously, this is the same pattern as Simplicity 1418, which was probably issued around a year or two earlier. Not the difference in lengths--1412 has the wartime just-under-the-knee length, and 2211 is shown as slightly longer. What's even funnier is that the backs of the packets give the finished lengths as the same.
Fabric, plaid cotton, 50 cents from an estate sale.

I made view E, without the ruffles, in a silvery-oyster white cotton-nylon blend. It turned out very nicely, and even fits me well without having made any alterations. A winner!
I made this dress out of a medium weight soft cotton. The fabric was given to me free by a friend who got it for next to nothing at a thrift shop

Raku, a revered Japanese art form, embodies simplicity, imperfection, and an intimate connection between the maker and their medium. Originating in the 16th century, it was traditionally used to craft tea bowls for the esteemed tea ceremony. Each piece, be it a tea cup, platter, or teapot, tells a story of fire and clay. The process embraces unpredictability as the objects are removed from the kiln while still molten, subjected to cooling that creates crackled glazes, smoky hues, and an air of serendipity.
The wabi-sabi aesthetic, rooted in the appreciation of transience and imperfection, finds its perfect partner in Raku. Together, they celebrate the beauty of flaws—the uneven edges, the crackled surfaces, the asymmetry that speaks of the artist’s hand and the elements’ influence. Raku is not about perfection but about presence, creating vessels that hold not just tea but the soul of the moment.
The Soul of Raku
In flames it breathes, the clay’s true form,
A dance of chaos, fire-streaked warm.
Crackled lines like life's own face,
Each flaw, a mark of time and grace.
In Raku’s hand, wabi-sabi gleams,
Imperfection woven into dreams.
A tea bowl speaks of transient days,
Beauty found in life's uneven ways.
Haikus
Crackled glaze whispers,
Flames kiss the clay with beauty,
Wabi-sabi’s truth.
Hands shape imperfection,
Kiln’s fire carves life in the clay,
Time’s breath etched within.
Tea cradles its bowl,
Fragile, transient, yet whole,
Raku’s humble soul.

And I took up the next word on the One little word blog, simplicity. For me this word fell apart in two words, simple city. And that to me is Angkor What in Cambodia. I visited it a few years ago and it was just a beautiful and sacred place, it fits the word simplicity perfectly!! I used an definition on the journaling of simplicity: clearity, beautiful and purity. That is.. Angkor!
