Vintage sewing pattern Jours de France no. 2018, luxury series, 70s

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot features a vintage sewing pattern, published by the brand "Jours de France," model n°2018, from the Luxe series. The packaging visible in the photo showcases a feminine illustration characteristic of the 1970s, with a tunic-and-pants ensemble with a straight, loose cut, long sleeves, a high collar, and a decidedly retro look. The main colors of the illustration are brick orange and black, with touches of white for the drawn model's hair, in a graphic style typical of the era.

The pattern is indicated as printed and available in three sizes visible on the pouch: 40, 42, 44, with possible adaptation for sizes 38 and 46 (explicit mention on the packaging). The title "Série Luxe" (Luxury Series) is clearly displayed, highlighting a carefully crafted or premium edition in the range of patterns offered by the brand.

The pouch displays the "Jours de France" logo in the upper left corner, on a red background, reinforcing the authenticity and provenance of the item. The overall visual presentation, from the graphics to the lettering, strongly evokes 1970s design, both in typography and the illustrated clothing style.

The general condition of the pouch shows some creases and marks on the plastic surface, particularly in the corners and on the top, which is common for this type of vintage pattern. No internal content is visible in the photo; only the front of the pouch is shown, with no indication of the sheets or pattern inside. The inscriptions are perfectly legible: "Patron imprimé" (Printed pattern), "3 tailles : 40, 42, 44" (3 sizes: 40, 42, 44), "Adaptable 38, 46" (Adaptable 38, 46), "Patron n°2018" (Pattern n°2018), "Édité par Patron-Modèle" (Published by Patron-Modèle).

This pattern is ideal for recreating vintage clothing, retro sewing, or workshop decoration. It also constitutes a graphic piece in its own right for enthusiasts of antique fashion or 20th-century French design.
