2 Mystery Boxes – Vintage Sewing Patterns (McCall’s, Butterick, Simplicity & More)

Step back into the golden age of sewing with two mystery boxes filled with authentic vintage sewing patterns from the mid-century through the 1970s. These patterns feature a range of timeless styles—dresses, skirts, coats, blouses, and more—showcasing the fashion history of the era.

Contents & Highlights:

  • A mix of brands including McCall’s, Butterick, Simplicity, and Stretch & Sew

  • Patterns spanning 1950s–1970s, featuring mod, boho, tailored, and classic silhouettes

  • Range includes women’s wear, day dresses, formal looks, separates, and more

  • Each box contains a generous variety (dozens of patterns in total)

Measurements & Sizes:

  • Patterns cover a range of vintage sizes, generally Bust 30”–40” / Waist 24”–32” / Hip 33”–42”

  • Some may be uncut, others gently used with original instructions included

  • As these are vintage patterns, sizing runs smaller than modern equivalents

Condition:

  • Pre-owned vintage condition

  • Some envelopes show wear, creases, or tears, but patterns inside are usable

  • A true “treasure hunt” mix—perfect for collectors, seamstresses, or designers looking for authentic mid-century styles

Why It’s Special:
Mystery boxes like this offer a curated slice of sewing history, ideal for vintage fashion lovers, costume designers, or creative makers who want to bring back the silhouettes of decades past.
