Was the past always summer?

Was the past always sunny?
I know odd question...but looking through 'vintage' patterns online. (20's, 30's, 40's 50's, 60s.) The majority seem to be short sleeved or at least very summery looking.
Is it just that the ones chosen were all summer ones or was it much warmer in the past? ;)

Sleeves
Hard or easy to sew and does length affect the difficulty level?

Patterns
Has anyone ever bought a pattern that fitted straight away and didn't need adjustments?
