McCalls is finally hopping on the vintage bandwagon, which is great, because they have a long and consistent history of putting out lovely patterns since... the 20s? earlier? up through the 90s, when they did something weird to their sizing. Anyway, I use a lot of vintage McCalls patterns so I was excited by their announcement of their "Archive Collection". The first two they've released are from 1933 and can be combined to make a suit, or an outfit. I like that they are basic pieces you could totally use for everyday wear (but I do hope they release some of their fancier designs at some point!).
There's a blouse and jacket 6995.
The line drawing isn't too impressive, but again, these are good basic pieces.
The skirt 6993 is a little more interesting. What looks like a standard pleated skirt:
Has great waist details!
And then there's a sweet little skirt with a belt. This could be great for showing off a vintage buckle.
These older skirts are so flattering - they always seem to just hang better, and I hope McCall's has managed to keep that feature and they continue to release some great vintage designs from their vast catalog.
