Oh YES. I worked but made all my clothes because I was so tall no one could fit me. I still have some of my patterns plus square dance dress patterns fron the 60's.

Those were the days..and right now I'm wearing some modified bell bottoms...now they are called Boot Cut..makes them sound a lot more sophisticated, doesn't it?
And I have several of the older patterns, looking through them I remember the comfort of those pants, just might make myself some but modify the bells a trifle.

Oh, yes, and I had the pattern on the right in your photo. Actually, I still have my old patterns, put away somewhere, although I'm not the same size anymore as I was back then.
