A collection of sewing patterns that I obtained in the 1980s when I was making my own 1950s style dresses. I have never used the patterns included in this lot.
They date mostly from the 1940s and 1950s.
Patterns are from Vogue, Butterick, McCall, Blackmore, Practical Patterns, Simplicity, Muirheads, Bestway, Weldons and Maudella.
Please note, the packets are in poor condition (see photos), and I have not checked each pattern for all the pieces. This is how they were when I came to have them. Other patterns that came from the same lady at the same time I have used and am keeping (because they suit me) and they are fine. I have no reason to believe that the patterns included in this lot are not complete.
The sizes are mixed, including Bust 32, 34, 36, 37, 38 and 40 inches.
These are mostly dress patterns, but there are also patterns for 3 nightdresses, a skirt, a slip and knickers, a ladies' 2 piece suit, a blouse and 2 coat patterns.
I hope someone will be able to make up some of these lovely clothes.
