AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

The item shown in the photo is a vintage sewing pattern titled "Patron du Mois" (Pattern of the Month), dated October 1969, number 2626. It is a pattern for making a woollen pinafore dress for children aged 8 and 10. The set includes the original pouch printed in blue on beige paper, with an illustration of a child presenting the pinafore dress model, as well as several visible pattern sheets, folded and stored in a transparent plastic pouch.

The main visual shows a typical 1960s print, with a stylized full-length drawing of a girl wearing the dress with patch pockets and a contrasting collar, accompanied by another profile illustration. The legible inscription states: "Woollen pinafore dress for 8 and 10 year olds, Patron du Mois n°2626, October 1969".

The pattern sheets feature technical tracings and annotations, characteristic of sewing patterns from that era. There is also blue-bordered paper, typical of old patterns, and partially visible instructions. The set is presented in its plastic storage pouch, which protects the original documents.

This type of retro pattern is appealing for its graphic style and the specificity of the proposed cut, here a vintage-looking pinafore dress, suitable for woollen fabrics as indicated on the pouch. This model is distinguished by a straight cut, flap pockets, and a round collar, recognizable elements in the period drawing.

The design, typography, and presentation are emblematic of French sewing pattern publications from the 1960s, making it a document of interest for vintage children's fashion.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Signs of use, folds, and slight age-related marks are visible throughout. The plastic storage pouch protects the sheets, but some creasing and wear to the paper are noticeable, typical of a used period pattern.

Did you know? "Patron du Mois" patterns were published monthly in France in the 60s and 70s, allowing many households to make fashionable clothes at home. Their widespread distribution helped democratize home sewing and pass on typical cuts of each decade.
