February 1965 - Workbasket Pattern Service

2/10/2019

One of the things I love about the earlier editions of Workbasket Magazine is the pattern service ads.  The drawings of the patterns are classic examples of styles for that time frame.    The February 1965 edition is no exception to that.  They were all 35 cents in this magazine which the internet tells me is equivalent to $2.62.  That seems like a pretty good deal for a pattern.

Here are some of  ads:

I think my favorite is the Princess Wrap dress with the diamonds from the "Cool and Slimming" page.  I probably would have needed this to pull off the silhouette though:

Do you have a favorite from these patterns?

I like the dress patterns but can't say that I like the girdle very much!

    I'm from Minnesota and have been crocheting since 2003.  I inherited a box full of Workbasket Magazines from my mother-in-law and became obsessed with the vintage patterns.
