Since your pattern is McCall's (not McCall as the 1940s one), please make a new page. Your/we can link to the older pattern, since this is clearly a 1950s re-issue.
This pattern is likely from around 1945, based on the style and considering there two other, earlier Vogue patterns with that number on the wiki.

It looks to be a rare one. I found one pattern - Style 2159 from 1968, that looks almost identical.:
https://vintagepatterns.fandom.com/wiki/Style_2159?so=search
The pattern appears to be a Butterick pattern from the late 1960s. Based on the left-over bit of the logo, and the "New Sizing" note, I'd say mid 1967 or later. Is 404 the whole pattern number (usually there are 4 digits, but there are exceptions)?
I don't have much in the way of information, but we do have a category for this. Take a look. Maybe one of the sellers in Australia and New Zealand will know more.

Hi,
Sorry - I did not see this question until now... It's fixed - the pages have been "moved" to a corrected title.
It may not be on here yet. Unfortunately, the photo you provided cuts off the pattern number. Based on the envelope design and style of dress, it appears to be from the first half of the 1950s.
Yes, that's true about the dates. The more "timeless" ones probably sold for years.
Sorry for the late reply. I was away for a couple of weeks...
It looks like you figured out how to add these. The issue with mail order patterns is that they were often distributed by many different companies, paper, magazines, etc. It might be listed as Mail Order, Anne Adams, Marian Martin, or any of the other mail order pattern companies. To find them, just type in the number without a manufacturer. If you know a company distributed it, you can add their name to the categories of an existing page.
The dress also appears to have what is called a Mandarin collar. A search for a keyhole, mandarin collar evening dress should yield results.
I have added the picture to the Gallery on Woman W3. Take a look. The addition needs to be made in Source editing mode, if you ever have trouble again, let me know.
Only admins can delete a page or photo. If you let me know which picture, I can either attach it to the right page, or delete it.
The best thing to do is to add them the way they are written on the envelope (minus us the space between the letter and the number).
The old pattern template does not work anymore (background code changes by Fandom). To create a new page, go the create button on the main page. To find the correct pattern page formatting, see our About page.
Best regards,

I have not experienced that issue. Let us know if it happens again.
Hi again,
If you are going to replace an existing picture, please don't include your "watermark".
Best regards,
Tarna
Hi,
Yes, if you have a picture that is clearly better than the original (it can be subjective...), feel free to replace it.
Please create a page for the pattern rather than posting it here
