McCall's 5884 European Holiday Dress - with Belled Skirt 1961 and McCall 7067 Amazing Blouse - Figure Hugging & Back Buttoning 1947



Two featured vintage patterns today.  Couldn't decide!  McCall's 5884 European Holiday Dress - with Belled Skirt 1961 and McCall 7067 Amazing Blouse - Figure Hugging & Back Buttoning 1947.  Could you decide?

Last week was an awesome week for finding some fabulous 40's thru 60's patterns.  I am actually ahead for once.  After going to SoCal for my sister's wedding on July 3rd and then spending the 4th there as well I came home and had to face a major catch up phase.

My sister's wedding to Richard and the party that followed will go high on list of "best parties" ever.  The best party ever was actually Richard's 50th birthday party two years ago.  The wedding went off flawlessly.  I gave my sister away and Richard's daughter Katie gave her dad away.  I only cried once.

Had to make a serious business decision early this week.  Sadly I am unable to continue shipping free to Canada with the purchase of 3 or more patterns.  Costs in so many areas have gotten too high and I have cut back in many ways without affecting the quality or care in shipping.  My apologies to my many Canadian customers - this was done with much soul searching and sadness.  The rest of shipping both here and international remain the same.  Here is a link to the new shipping fees to Canada:  Shipping Link

Featured new is:  Butterick 3142 Willowy Shaped Bodice Dress 1993 - which I picture using a "velvet" type fabric.  This dress has such a classy drape to it - I think it will look lovely with any type figure and will hide flaws while accentuating the positive.
