Here is a vintage paper pattern for a Misses size 10 halter sundress, with short and maxi length (full-length) variations, circa 1975. It also has an optional ruffle. This is a fairly easy pattern to make. It has elastic in the back, two straps that tie behind the neck, and a wide ruffle.

Layer this with a bolero jacket and a leather belt for a modern look that even works in the cooler seasons. It might even work for maternity wear.

This pattern can be made out of patterned fabrics or solids. The back suggests using lightweight cotton, cotton, cotton blends, challis, chambray, lightweight seersucker, plisse, cotton knits, or synthetic jersey.

Measurements for Misses size 10:
Bust..............................................32 1/2 in.
Waist............................................25
Hip................................................33 1/2
Back waist length..........................16
Finished dress A length,
waistline to hem, with ruffle...........40
Finished dress B length,
waist to hem.................................22
Finished dress C length,
waist to hem.................................18

This pattern has been cut, but the previous owner carefully folded them and put them back into the envelope. Apparently that seamstress made one of the shorter dress patterns rather than the maxi length, and didn't make the belt.
