I hadn't seen the fabrics, but I bought McCall's 4257 from them some time last year...(it's a 1950's Pauline Trigere dress. Not made it (yet) but I look at it from time to time and think how lovely it is.  ><)

I bought a Micky/Minnie Mouse pattern about 5 years ago (originally published in the 50s) but they seem to have stopped doing toys.
It's not easy being this perfekt

 Quite an interesting website.  I was looking for something I'd made but I think I stuck to Simplicity as  they were cheaper in the 60's.  The one thing that stands out for me is hot pants worn with a dress that parted at the waist front with a big split to show off the pants. I also remember being frogmarched into a wedding shop with my future sister in law for a pink lace dress that was below my knees.  When I got it home I shortened it :) 

It does show one thing, nothing really changes in fashion  it just gets changed slightly.
