The dart-fitted bodice and raglan sleeves - short or three-quarter length - sit over a slim three-piece skirt shaped with side-front gathers, back darts, and a back pleat for ease of movement. View A's three-piece collar can be sewn in as a fixed contrast or made fully detachable, letting one dress read two ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moment in Fashion History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1964, \"Easy to Sew\" and \"Recommended for Beginners\" had become their own selling point, as McCall's worked to make the slim, disciplined silhouette of the decade achievable at home rather than just on Paris runways. This pattern's height-proportioned pieces and detachable collar option show construction doing double duty - refined enough to hold its shape, simple enough for a first-time dressmaker to finish in a weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIllustration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover illustration has been digitally restored and enhanced by Judy Yates to highlight the original fashion artwork while preserving the character and artistry of this historic McCall's pattern envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConnections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern is part of our ongoing exhibit, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vintage4me2.com\/collections\/pillbox-and-polish\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePillbox and Polish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e - Camelot ushers in youthful elegance.
