McCalls Pattern magazine, spring 1960
My grandma picked this pattern magazine up for me at an estate sale and I've been coveting all the glorious spring fashions. They remind me so much of Nicole, and I love how crisp everything looks. Especially the tiered dress, I see ones like it now but the tiers have drooped, a little starch and patience with an iron can fix that though! I think this spring I will starch and iron my full skirted dresses, they get a little forgotten when it comes to ironing, but I love the way these look. Enjoy!

oh hun you were SO right! I want all of them. Especially that ascot dress with the bolero...LOVE!
Bows and flowers everywhere!!! :D I'm grinning ear to ear!
My goodness, those full-skirted dresses are gorgeous. I can't imagine wearing something like that everyday, I'd find it hard to get used to how much space I took up!
The dresses are just amazing - but i can't get over how tiny their waists are!! Where are all the internal organs?!
SIGHS I am in love with those dresses!!

Ohh I love these dresses!!
It's good you're showing fashion pictures from 1960 -a lot of people thinks the 60s was only miniskirts and hippies.
But, before that, it was lovely!
I adore the 4th and 8th dress. Such tiny waists! :D
Wow! These are so pretty!
i adore full dresses but i know how you feel about ironing...its my least favorite chore

Ah, so much gorgeousness, I want them all! :)
Those are to die for! I especially love the two with the bows :)
All these things are just gorgeous! Especially love the detail on the dress in the first picture, that neckline is fab, the full skirts and that ballerina like ruffle dress. that's definitely something I would wear. thanks for sharing!
