Simplicity 5696 (1973): Didn't I see this on a "Bonanza" rerun at some point? Probably.
I like the yellow version without the faux-yoke. It needs a neck-ruffle-ectomy, though; that looks itchy.
Red calico, yes? I got this fabric as a giveaway from my mother and I adore it, but it's too modern for most of my patterns.

Hollywood 1210 (1940's): Been looking for this one for a long time! This one is a little big but it should size down very easily.
It's sort of the non-maternity version of Simplicity 1954 (1947?).
Vogue 9199 (1970's): More prairie nonsense. The one on the right has a little bit of a 1920's thing going on with that tight hat and full skirt, but the one on the left is all Picnic at Hanging Rock.
McCall's 6334 (1978): Holy disco awesomeness, Batman! That red dress makes me wish it was summer, which is something I thought I'd never say considering we get more than our fill of summer around here. Seriously--that dress will never go out of style.
I think it needs a nice, soft, Indian cotton. I hope I can even find one in a red print since I love the whole thing just the way it is.
