Looks From Vogue News - July 1, 1960 - 55 Years Ago Today!

I happened to have a Vogue News flyer that was dated to the day... July 1, 1960.. 55 years ago today!

I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the looks from that wonderful year.

I really love the collar on this dress.

The cover featured Vogue 5052, with an interesting collar and flower decoration at the waist.

The pleated skirt is so cute!  And check out the "new lowered waistline."

Pretty suits were shown on the first page.

That's an interesting hat you've got there, Donna.

Half-Size patterns were featured on page 3.

I'm in love with Vogue 4126!

The descriptions and copy for page 4 are killer!  Be sure to read it all.  I especially like the sound of "gentle-mannered sheatherie"  (See following page for the picture)

I admit, I didn't know what a "redingote" was, so I looked it up... it's a type of coat, so in this case it refers to the wrap dress over the sheath.

Pretty and cool Vogue 5049, top left, is seen here in Found Alchemy Pattern's shop.

Versatile Vogue 5044 is seen here in The Pattern Shopp.

The drop waistline is seen again in Vogue 5050.

Descriptions for these are seen on the previous page.

These are really hard to find patterns, and I can see why!  Very classy!

Ultra-rare Paris Original patterns featured on page 5.

True elegance seen in Vogue 1002.

More rare Couturier Design patterns on the final page.
