 The top is casual enough to wear with Daisy Dukes but take it longer and it's ready for a summer shopping trip. Go a little longer, add white-on-white embroidery, and it's ready for a beach bride.

Vogue 8035 Seventies Style

Vogue 8035 from the early 1970's.
Vogue patterns printed before the 1980's often didn't have a copyright date. This is one of them.
An a-line dress with round collar at knee length; shortened to below hip length and worn with pants. Pantsuits were often a preferred look at the office for women as styles changed in the early 70's.
