Description

Vintage sewing pattern, published by the French brand "Modes & Travaux", model referenced 1454. This "Patron Immédiat Couture" pattern is presented in its original illustrated paper sleeve. The visible front shows a color photograph of a woman wearing a short-sleeved dress with a round neck and contrasting belt, typical of 1970s fashion trends. The model features several patch pockets on the bust and skirt, as well as a buckled belt, as indicated by the technical drawing printed in the bottom left of the sleeve.

The pattern offers three main sizes (40, 44, 48), with mention of possible use for seven sizes (38 to 50), making it a versatile support for making women's clothing. The text "1454 Robe en lainage" specifies the type of garment to be made and suggests its use for fabrics suitable for cooler seasons, while remaining true to the sober and functional aesthetic of retro fashion.

The sleeve displays the "Modes & Travaux" logo in a turquoise cartouche, accompanied by vintage typography easily identifiable by enthusiasts of antique sewing. The overall appearance of the pattern evokes a carefully preserved item, with well-preserved colors on the cover and perfectly legible inscriptions. No accessories or interior contents are visible in the photo, only the front of the sleeve is shown.

The ensemble features a graphic design characteristic of the 70s, both in its layout and the clothing style of the photograph. The pattern is indicated as "immediate", highlighting its ease of use for creating a dress with a straight, slightly flared cut.

This vintage pattern is ideal for reproducing vintage models, retro fashion, or seeking authenticity in textile manufacturing. It will suit anyone wishing to faithfully recreate a typical seventies dress from an original French source.
