McCall's For February!



This booklet from McCall's isn't dated, but I'm assuming it is from the late 60s or very early 70s.  Let's see what fashion looks are waiting for us!

McCall's 9580
This sweet illustration on the cover has touches of Art Nouveau.  Don't you think McCall's 9580 is such an easy and cute outfit to sew?  Great for juniors, even today's juniors!

Some similar looks from teamies:


1.)  McCall's 9398; Redcurlz's
2.)  McCall's 2722; Vintage Needle Finds
3.)  McCall's 3222; Roma's Maison

McCalls 9577; 9604; 9589
Spiffy coats with matching dresses, so gorgeous for the well-together lady!  The princess seaming on some of these is always figure flattering and pretty much eternally stylish.

Some similar looks:


1.)  Spaeda 72060; Retroactive Future
2.)  Vogue 9011; Denisecraft
3.)  Simplicity 5928; Sydcam123

McCall's 9599; 9608; 9572; 9567
Playful, youthful styles are the look this year!  Free and fun looks... again, with a timeless quality if you ask me.

Some similar patterns:


1.)  McCall's 2653; So Vintage on Etsy

More oh-so-cute looks and very sweet.  Easy to make!!
