Mission McCall Monday: 9031-9040

This week's Mission McCall covers pattern numbers 9031-9040.  My goal is to update the Vintage Pattern Wiki so that it's complete for all McCall patterns from mid 1936-1940.  If you have any source images for any of these patterns, email them to me and I'll add them to the Vintage Pattern Wiki!  A big thank you to Amanda who found McCall 509 on etsy.  I'll be adding the lot to vintage pattern wiki next week!

First up is McCall 9031:

 I love the way the buttons are spaced on this dress...

 And here's the back view:

Next up is McCall 9032--and the first maternity pattern:
I always find maternity vintage patterns so interesting as the construction is usually quite clever.  Here's a close-up of how it closes (and how it can expand):

Also our first junior pattern--9033:
sooo cute!

I've been drooling over McCall 9034 since the first time I saw it over at the Blue Gardenia.  It's already in the Vintage Pattern Wiki and isn't it beautiful?
I wonder how hard it would be draft up a collar like the one in View A?  I think the colours on the pattern envelope are particularly stunning as well!

Next up is McCall 9035:
It almost looks like there is a slight back peplum to this dress but the back view doesn't show this:

I'm missing 9036 but 9037 is a stunning gown:
I really want to make this one up at some point.  What's great is that this pattern is available as a reproduction pattern from the Vintage Pattern Lending Library!!

I'm missing 9038 but I do have 9039:

Which one is your favourite?  I'd have to go with 9034 or 9037!!

Missing images so far: 502, 503, 505, 507, 508, 510, 9000, 9001, 9002, 9003, 9006, 9007, 9008, 9009, 9011, 9012, 9013, 9014, 9017, 9018, 9030, 9036, 9038 and 9040. If you want to contribute to the Mission McCall--just email me the images or pattern covers and I'll update them in the Vintage Pattern Wiki.  myhappysewingplace[at]googlemail[dot]com.
