1960 McCall's Misses's Instant Blouse Pattern | Size 12/Bust 32" | Partially Cut & Factory Folded

This stunning McCall's pattern was published in 1960 when white gloves were still in vogue. This pattern is for "Misses' Instant Blouse." "Instant' must have been an innovation at the time. It's described as... "Paper pattern is all in one piece, pin to fabric and cut complete blouse instantly." Sounds like a pattern to me. The envelope also introduces "Easy Rule" described as a "New, exclusive feature... for easier, quicker, more ACCURATE FIT." 

Regardless of how instant it is, the style is what we love here. Perfect for Spring/Summer, with or without the white gloves.

The pattern has two sheets (one cut, one uncut) along with the instruction sheet. All the pieces appear to be in the well-cared-for envelope.
