I can't believe what I paid for this one but I've wanted it forever.

Great pattern I love the one shoulder look hubba hubba!!!!

 

[Lauren]

That is too cool!!!

The 2nd pattern is a tennis dress. i thought it was just a sun dress. I would love a straw hat like veiw b on the first pattern. I've wanted a 30's straw hat for ages.

I love the tennis dress!

 

[Kitty_Sheridan]

I* LOVE* that Advance pattern with the Bolero! Nice finds!

 

[TheSwingingBee]

I can't believe what I paid for this one but I've wanted it forever.

I love this and the idea of doing the sheer back like view b, very ***y, but understated.

I just won these two paterns on ebay for 2 dollars

Hi Ladies, I bought these patterns recently. It was 4 patterns for $15.00 and I got 4 free!

 

[Drappa]

These are both very similar, but I fell in love, so will try them both

 

[Lady Day]

You all have been getting some sweet patterns.

This is my last one for a while. I think I have pattern fatigue.

Hey! I have that one, too. Makes up really cute.

 

[Drappa]

Oh, good to know!

After never having received Simplicity 1538, which made me really sad, I won this almost identical one from McCall's:

I already have the fabric ready to go!

 

[shazzabanazza]

Drappa, the McCalls pattern is gorgeous!

 

[Miss Sis]

My latest, with many thanks to Lauren for helping me acquire it! I *do* love mid 1930s McCall patterns. The illustrations are divine.

 

[Miss Tuppence]

Well done Miss Sis, that pattern is perfection (it’s a real corker)- just right for the spring/summer. Brings out the right little miss in me- I want it and I want it now!:
It’s the right size and I have just the loveliest fabric for it too!

 

[Miss Sis]

Miss Tups, thanks, but you'll have to wait for it to wing it's way to me from the US before you try and wrest it from my clutches!

I love how it can be sleeveless, short sleeved or long sleeved. I like versatile patterns. And it always amazes me when a pattern I've never seen pops up. You see so many of the same and then - ping - a doozy comes along. It's from my favourite pattern company and year too, 1935. I wish I had a McCall catalogue from that year. What bliss it would be to look through....

 

[Lauren]

Yay! Love that pattern
I agree- 1935 is a dreamy year for McCall patterns!

I just got this one. I'm really hoping it has all the pieces! Luckily it was inexpensive so if it doesn't it won't be a terrible loss. I really love the back inset gores.
