Help identifying a pattern--update with more clues

Ok, so I ran across these photos while looking for something else.  Anyhow, I emailed the shop hoping they could id the pattern it was made from, but I also thought someone here might recognize it.  They sell high end patterns (think Childrens Corner, etc.) so it is most likely something from those lines.

ETA: The shop responded and said it was a vintage McCalls pattern that a student had.  Does anyone remember this one or have super google skills?  It is the back that I love.

Re: Help identifying a pattern--update with more clues

  • McCall's #6690 has the right back minus the ruffle on the strap.  I think it also has the button detail at the waist.  Knowing your mad sewing/pattern modification skills the ruffle part would be pretty easy.  The other one I found with the ruffle on the strap was # 8718 but I couldn't see the back view to figure out if it crossed like that. 
  • Simplicity 6948 looks pretty dead-on?

    ETA: A few E-bay listings- there's a picture of the back of the envelope on the $17(!!!) one. Annoying that they were only 1-size per envelope back then, though- they seem to go up to size 3, at least. 

  • I think it is the Simplicity one...everything about it looks the same.  I bet the shop just mixed up the company names.  Yes--I wish they had bigger size ranges in each package, but I think the 3 will work (I know it will for width and length is an easy alteration).

    Thank you both so much!!!!!!
