McCalls 3176 | Size 20 | Scoop Neck Drop Waist Party Dress with outlet Sash | Vintage 1950s Sewing Pattern | UNCUT

This listing is for McCalls 3176

It is a size 20 which corresponds with 38” - 32” - 41” bust-waist-hip measurements, according to the information on the envelope.

This is an original tissue sewing pattern, not a reproduction or digital copy. Pictures are of the actual item you will receive.

This pattern is COMPLETE. I believe it was factory folded, but I unfolded it to count. Tissue is uncut, unused, nicely folded!

This is a printed pattern (This means it has text and markings printed onto the tissue - as done with modern patterns)

The instructions are clean and in good, sturdy condition.

The envelope condition is as pictured. It is not fragile, and the paper is crisp and sturdy. It is lightly tanned outlet from age. There are a couple tiny 1/4" or smaller tears in the top edge. The corners are all creased/damaged, and the bottom right one has a 1" tear extending from it.

Due to its cost this pattern only ships within the US.

I try to describe the condition of patterns as accurately as possible. But unless specified otherwise, expect pattern pieces to have creases, small cuts, and crumples consistent with previous use. They are suitable for sewing, but may need to be pressed with a warm iron prior to using.

I'm not the first owner of these patterns, so their history is a mystery to me - as are their previous storage situations. But I try to disclose any issues they may have to the best of my ability.

Patterns are backed with chipboard to prevent bending in transit, and shipped in waterproof plastic mailing bags. Each pattern is stored in it a plastic sleeve, with the instructions and pieces removed from the envelope to prevent damage to the fragile paper.
