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!!
