Hello!

As promised, here's scans of a Mccall Magazine from 1942. There's beauty tips, what colors men like, an article about foundation garments, four ways to save a slip, and many fall and winter dresses with descriptions. Feel free to save the images, and to get to larger versions just click on them

I have more magazines scanned online here:

Thanks for posting that! I am hoping I can combine some of my sewing patterns and remake some of those dresses!

Well, the cool thing about Mccall magazine is that it lists the pattern number, so if you really want to you can search them out! But it's also a really good idea to combine pieces, like you say, as long as you keep track of what went in what envelope

I'm slowly trasferring over those 30's magazines I posted a while back as well as some victorian and edwardian images. Here's the link!

I have a McCall's pattern book from the 40's. I really wish my scanner worked.

I wish I would have kept track of my pattern peices. I think I have about 10 patterns all mixed up. I *hope* it won't be too hard to find their right homes.

Saving images?

Hi Lauren,

Maybe you purposely don't want people downloading images, but if not I was wondering how I might save the McCall's image scans within the Flash application.

Thanks!
