"The Light-Hearted Look of Summer" (Vogue Pattern Book, June-July 1963)

 Designed for outdoor living, this dress shows the casual elegance typical of the early to mid-1950s.

On the cover 5881: this is the shift that goes spectacularly this summer—a side-slit, ankle length sweep to be seen on the beach by day, on the patio at night.  It is carved of a magnificent Moygashel linen in sandalwood with white embroidery and stripes of lace.  And it happens to be "Very Easy to Make".

"Moygashel" was a high quality of Irish linen, and "sandalwood" and "stripes" were among the themes of their 1963 collection.
