That third one down in Beth's link, the "Young Contemporary Fashion" -- was this soon after Fiddler on the Roof opened? Because I can see no other way that could be "contemporary."

12 1/2, 14 1/2, 161/2 up to 22 1/2 or 24 1/2. I think they were sizes beyond the normal misses 8-16. they were the one that are now called women's
but it wasn't a size she did

3rd one down - may I bring up Little house on the prairie? That was a big fashion influence

Right! I'd forgotten that Little House was that period, too. Though the scarf tied under the chin still seems more Anatevka than Walnut Grove to me.

I remember that pattern, but I don't ever remember any one actually wearing the scarf

I just found out that my mother is ordering a Turducken for the seder.
There is a company selling a kosher-for-passover Turducken. This is all kinds of wrong.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
My mom is now wondering if she has any of those old patterns
Truduken for passover sounds wrong
