From the style, and the wardrobe styling hints on the envelope, I would guess this is a mid-seventies pattern. My mother sewed several of this style of garment for me when I was in high school. I wore them with my hip-hugger pants and mini-wrap skirts that buttoned up the front. They made my very short skirts a little more modest :-) BTW The body suits snapped at the crotch, to make dressing and undressing easy.
I'm thinking this would be a great pattern to try out for some modern active-wear. I'd like to experiment with fabrics I haven't tried before, and a simple leotard (would work well with simple shorts for the gym) would be a great pattern with which to try out that type of material.
But, as I wrote in my last imaginary bathing suit journal entry..... no new projects until this bustier is done!
