Growing up in the 60s, I remember these very well. I don't remember women wearing them but many men and boys did. Thanks for the blast from the past. :)
Thank you so much for posting this pattern! I recently dug a dickie out of the depths of my bureau to wear to work on a cold day, and was reminded of its versatility. By afternoon when the day had warmed up, I just took it off. That was a cotton knit one, so I think I will knit this up in a fine merino wool or, if I can find it, a fine bamboo yarn!
This is an ongoing project and I welcome any help or suggestions that you can give, so please feel free to leave a comment or a suggestion for a pattern link, all help will always be credited and very much appreciated :-) Spam will be deleted!
haha.... I need one! :)
