A catalog of designer sewing patterns available via mail order to home sewists in 1958. The 173 gorgeous black-and-white illustrations show the latest models for day and evening from world-renowned designers such as Ceil Chapman, Jo Copeland, Scaasi, Mollie Parnis, and Harvey Berin. Includes a host of sewing tips written in that mid-century prose we love. Browse through the pages to experience the very best of 1950s fashion. Illustrations are suitable for framing. From the Helen D. estate.

We have 5 of these pattern booklets, all from 1957-1960. This is the thickest (it's a "double issue"), with the most illustrations. If you're interested in any of the others, please contact us. We're happy to offer a discount on two or more.

Labels: Spadea Fashions, Inc. - Patterns by World Famous Designers - Book 12-13X - (c) 1958

Materials: paper

Condition: the original owner clearly had plans to order several patterns, as several pages had paper clips and folds at the top corner. We've removed as many paper clips as we could, but the marks, folds, or tears remain. None affects the images, only the blank upper corner of the page. The first third or so of the booklet is folded at the lower outer edge. The vast majority of the pages are in beautiful condition.

Dimensions: 13.5" high x 5" wide x .25" thick
