Patterns from the Files // McCall's 6419

Shirtwaist-Dress-Pattern_banner
Cheerio dearies! I'm going to start a new (intermittent) series here on the blog about our favorite patterns, vintage and otherwise that we seamstresses of the house have made (and possibly some we haven't).
So today I am going to show you all my very first vintage pattern that I ever bought: McCall's 6419. At the time I had no idea about the world of vintage patterns that existed and thought, when I only had to shell out 50 cents for the item, "Oh, that's sweet. Only 50 cents for a pattern." Without even considering that it was VINTAGE!!! And on Etsy it would probably be $10.00 or more!
