Most vintage patterns are circa 1940's - 1970's
How Pattern Styles Have Changed & Evolved Over The Decades:
Late 1800's to Early 1900's:
The first patterns were on unprinted tissue paper. They required matching up notches and holes to make the garment. The envelopes were black & white with very simple illustrations 
1920's & 1930's:
The illustrations were printed in color. The major companies were Simplicity,
McCall, Butterick, Vogue & Advance 
1940's
This decade was the heyday of fashion. Beautiful styles, colors
& dresses were very popular. Mail-order patterns from companies
like Marian Martin & Ann Adams were increasing in popularity.
Hollywood
patterns depicting actresses were becoming very popular.
1950's
Patterns during this decade were now being printed. Rockabilly styles, halter dresses, wiggle dresses & circle skirts were very popular.
McCalls added the 'S to their name. The most popular patterns
were Vogue Special Design & Simplicity Designer Originals
1960's
The patterns in this decade began having models instead of
illustrations. Jackie Kennedy & her signature style
were the most popular designs. The MOD styles became popular
in the latter part of this decade
1970's
These patterns were the hippie age. The envelopes started featuring
famous models. The styles were becoming less dressy. Pants
were quite common

Tips For Buying Vintage Patterns
Vintage patterns can be found at
garage sales, estate sales, thrift shops
& flea markets.
Always check to ensure that the
instruction sheet & the major pieces are
included~this will save a huge headache
If the pattern has been cut ~check
the size it has been cut to
Check the envelope to see if there is a
level of difficulty
Look at the types of fabrics that are
suggested to be used
Check to see that the pattern is an
original & not a copy
(BTW...All patterns on
vintagestitching.com are originals)
For rare patterns...It is a good idea
to trace the pieces rather than cutting.
This will preserve the pattern
