My cousin was cleaning out her vintage pattern collection and sent them to me!

Plus some toy sailboat instructions. I think I said "Oh my gosh" at each pattern. There are some stunners in here. There is what I thought was a beautiful dress, but turns out it's "just" a housedress.

There are the usual suspects - Simplicity, McCall, Vogue, Butterick, and the lesser known Advance, DuBarry, Hollywood, Marion Martin, and newspaper mail-order. But also some I'd never heard of - Clotilde and Superior. Clotilde patterns come in a delightful glassine envelope. Superior patterns definitely look superior!

Wow!

Wow.
