The Sound of Music in patterns
The Sound of Music is a 1965 American musical drama film directed and produced by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.
In 1967 Butterick issued 4 girls' patterns after the movie:
3699 (Girl's Dress, Westkit and Scarf),
3700 (Girl's Jacket, Skirt and Blouse),
3701 (Girl's Two-Piece Dress)
and 3702 (Girl's Cape) and there were modelled by the young actors of the movie: see here.
But other patterns inspired by the musical movie were also issued in those years:
Simplicity 3607
Butterick 3272
Simplicity 7836
Convertible with Buttons
In the 1950s Butterick seemed to love the convertible clothes with the help of some buttons, in a few minutes you can transform a playsuit in a lovely dress ensemble:
