July 1937 fashions

I had the luck of finding a few 1930s McCalls magazines at a thrift store the other day, and bought them without even flipping through the pages much. I was pleasantly surprised to find these illustrations for their latest patterns, the last set in particular I've been searching for after seeing the amazing potential!

A little thing to notice is the girls hat on the left. See how the ribbon comes up from the back, and rests on the front of her head, separate from the hat? It's like a backwards tilt hat, I though it was so interesting, never seen a hat worn like that before!
