I'm looking for an adult-sized pattern for the pink shirt that the little girl is wearing in the bottom of this photo.
I think this is a pattern envelope from the 1970s.
I've searched, but I don't know exactly what this top is called, and it's not working for me!
=)
THANK YOU -- to craftybear and everyone else!

Looks pretty close to me. I have no idea, though, if it's still a valid pattern number. You'll have to check that out.

Here's the pattern on sale:

Looks like it's called a Jiffy dress in the toddler size but the adult Simplicity "Jiffy" dress is a totally different pattern.

It doesn't look too complicated (only 2 pieces). If you're feeling a bit adventurous, maybe you can buy the child's pattern just to get an idea of how it's put together, and then draft your own pattern for a larger size.

Thanks for the clarification.
