December 1940

Posted by So Vintage Patterns on 11/29/2017

Hi Everyone,

While looking to try to organize my personal stash of pattern catalogs I came across a batch of early McCall Pattern magazines that I totally forgot about! Needless to say, I had to sit down for a couple of hours and pour over them -so much for organizing lol!

Here are a few images, some signed by the talented fashion artist Blanche Rothschild, that I took and thought you may find as interesting as I did! I will try to share more over the coming months of other magazines etc, I have such a treasure trove of fashion related stuff that I personally collected for years.

I included an image of a to die for Charles James gown featured in an ad, just gorgeous! So here is December 1940 issue of the McCall Pattern Magazine, enjoy the beautiful images!

The Man Who Never Was and S.J.Phillips Connection

Posted by on 10/11/2017

A movie based on this, is one of my favorite movies! As you all are aware I am a huge old movies lover! Watch it, I think you'll find it interesting, as well as of course the WW II fashions.
