I short while ago, I was given the following piece of fabric from a work colleague (sorry about the blurryness of the image, I took it with my phone).

Hmm, probably something late 60's, and if it's at all stiff, one of the geometrically shaped a-line dresses would be well suited: http://sewretro.blogspot.com/2011/04/searching-for-instructions.html

That fabric immediately brings to mind Emilio Pucci for me, so I'd be inclined to go with late 60s or 70s. If it's fairly sturdy, then I second the option of a 60s Mod dress or skirt. Of course, you should always make something that you feel you will actually wear, so use your own style gut to guide you. Mod dresses work well with layering (over a long sleeve top and tights with boots). And if that much print is too bold, then a skirt might be a more practical option

I found this pattern on the Simplicity Website,

I think this might be worth purchasing.

Ooh yes! That's exactly the shape I was thinking of.
