Some more from my university's magazine archives! I must say, while I always check out Vogue and McCall's when I'm there, I usually prefer the style pages of McCall's - they used color printing much more often, and their illustrations were more straightforward (but still full of plenty of Fancy, as you can see!) than Vogue's sometimes too-artistic ones that made it difficult to make out the clothing.
Le sigh. Flipping through these pages is always sheer agony of longing.

| The outfit in the middle... phowwwar I want this! |

| The red (rust), white, and blue-periwinkle number with the little neck scarf looks perfect for a casual (and rather patriotic) look for running around in the early spring! |

ReplyDeleteDROOL! I agree with Debi...I'm in love with the floral gowns
ReplyDeleteI love old issues of McCall's! That was a really awesome all-around women's magazine--good recipes, too. I really like the turned-up stripy collar, too.
