PALMYRE vintage 80s women's dress sewing pattern, retro pouch

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot features a sewing pattern envelope for a women's dress, by the brand PALMYRE, visible at the top left of the cover. The main visual shows a mannequin wearing a straight, short-sleeved dress, belted at the waist, in a plain light color, with large patch pockets. The overall style clearly evokes 1980s women's fashion, particularly through the clean cut, the imposing accessories (gold earrings, beaded necklace), and the model's voluminous hairstyle.

The envelope also features a small thumbnail at the bottom right showing a second view of the dress, still against an outdoor background. The indications "36 to 54" are printed below the PALMYRE name, specifying the range of sizes offered in this pattern, which is typical of multi-size patterns from this period. The support appears to be a cardboard or glossy paper envelope, typical of vintage individual sewing patterns.

The full-color cover photograph highlights the chic and casual style of the outfit, with a carefully staged setting against a backdrop of vegetation and a terrace, emphasizing the aspect of summer or mid-season fashion. Visible details include the straight finish of the sleeves and neckline, the tone-on-tone belt with a large buckle, and the two large applied pockets on the skirt.

The envelope is displayed upright on a wooden desk, in front of a bookshelf of old books, which only enhances the retro atmosphere and authenticity of the item. No major defects are visible on the front: the surface appears smooth, with no apparent creases or tears, and the colors are well preserved.
