1973 Simplicity 5746 Misses’ Bodysuits Pattern, Size 16

Simplicity 5746 (1973) is a Misses’ set of bodysuits in Size 16 (bust 38"), sized for stretch knits only. Views feature a pointed or standing collar, optional neck tie, front or back zipper, and those iconic full sleeves gathered to cuffs—built to tuck neatly into hip-huggers or skirts without bulk. It’s a disco-era staple that still looks sharp under trousers or wide-leg jeans.

Sew it up in cotton jersey, rib knit, matte tricot, interlock, or lightweight double knit. Directions include the Pick-A-Knit stretch test; construction is straightforward if you’ve made knit tops before. Style tip: solid crepe-knit or jersey reads chic; a micro-print leans playful 70s. Snap crotch options keep it practical for all-day wear.
