Some t-neck inspiration from a 1960's/1970's TV icon, "That Girl" Marlo Thomas:
Legendary temptress Raquel Welch makes a T-Neck look oh-so-seductive. She certainly knows how to use her appeal and still be fully clothed...
I just finished my second version of a mid-late 1970's classic (1977?), a Butterick See & Sew pattern, featuring Shelley Hack:
Here's my original post that includes my first attempt with this pattern and photos of this still gorgeous former fashion model and Charlie's Angel on a 1969 Simplicity pattern envelope and other nostalgic photos of her:

After adding an additional 3/4" length to the sleeves and 5" to the length of the pattern that I originally traced onto a zig-zag printed jersey knit from fabric.com:
My first version:
We just came home from Thanksgiving dinner at my parents' home. After some shopping today for bargains (hopefully we will not encounter the dreaded crowds), I plan to "work out" to some "HAIR-raising" tunes by The Beatles, Madonna, Diana Ross, and Cher. I will take their music, any day, over that of Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj, to name a few.
I added a belt in the same fabric to pull in the sides of the top. With only three pattern pieces and less than two hours of sewing time, a third top in the near future awaits!
Twiggy going ziggy and zaggy in the 1960's
Didn't Peanuts character Charlie Brown trend the zig-zag before Missoni did?
