Can anyone tell me the year of this 1960s Vogue Paris Original pattern by Molyneux?

I love Molyneux's sleek, tailored look. It's hard to tell from the photo on the front of the envelope, but there's a pert little bow on the shoulder:

Anyway, obviously it's 60s, but I know some of you have info on the Vogue Paris Original and Couturier series, and I'm hoping to pinpoint the year.

Thanks, all!
 
Nicole, thank you! That sewing pattern wiki is terrific. I want to figure out its navigation a little better so I'll be more comfortable using it as a research tool.

So glad to have validation of the year. Thank you!
 
i haven't been playing with my patterns for so long...but i thought on the instruction page that the date was usually along the edge somewhere...and on the older patterns, directly on the pattern back sometimes

that's a super cute look, MC!!
 
Love the pattern, guessed mid-sixties. Yay!

Nicole, I had no idea about the wiki for patterns. What a fab resource! I'm just now trying to add external links to the ones that I have in stock. I'm so bad at stuff like this, even with directions. I got it to link to my main shop, but I want it to link to a Jean Muir pattern. Sigh...
I have patterns to add to the wiki too. Hours of fun ahead.Jean Muir
 
The pattern wiki was started about a year ago by Erin of dressaday. There are some very dedicated users, and it has really grown.

BTW, I posted a pattern that is one in a series of 4 that Givenchy did for McCall's based on the designs in the movie "How to Steal a Million." For some reason, these are very hard to come by, but after posting that I was looking for the others, a user alerted me to one of the others that was for sale.
 
You're right: it's a great resource. Further proof of the wonderful capabilities of the internet (and the kindness of strangers who share an interest).

I have thousands of vintage patterns and love the fact that many have dates printed on them. Unfortunately, not all do...when I sort through them to make them shop ready (I put each one into a ziplock bag and add a sticker to the outside with the date and price) I play a game where I try to guess the date of each and then turn it over to find out how correct I was. It's a great way to familiarise yourself with vintage of each era.

Great parlor game for a vintie meet-up!
