I had this pattern while in high school (circa 1969). I made a great dress in lavendar dotted swiss, and the duster coat in a darker purple. The sleeves are great - slimmer at the shoulder, then from a seam about midway between shoulder and elbow, a two piece sleeve that ballons to a tight cuff with three buttons.
I have been looking for it for quite a while. About four months ago I determined to sign up for a search on ebay, as well as check vintage sites frequently. I could not remember who the pattern maker was - I was thinking Butterick, nto McCalls, but I also remembered the yellow block on the left.
Well it finally came up in a lot of 20 patterns that is for sale right now. I almost had a heart attack when I saw it. I hope I can win it, I'll keep you posted.
