AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This document is a vintage sewing pattern dated 1985, referenced No. 14, for making a women's slip and petticoat. The cover features a black and white illustration of two female models wearing these garments, characterized by a classic cut and decorative border finishes, evoking a retro style typical of the mid-1980s. The embroidery patterns visible on the garment borders add a delicate and feminine touch to the ensemble. The pattern offers sizes 42 and 46, explicitly mentioned in the table of contents printed on the first page.

The visual highlights a camisole with thin straps and a lace or embroidered yoke on the neckline and bottom, as well as a matching petticoat, also adorned with embroidered patterns on the front. The design emphasizes fluid and fitted cuts, true to the aesthetic of 1980s women's lingerie. The document has a wide blue border on the right side, typical of sewing pattern publications from that period.

The page also mentions instructions for light border embroidery and knitting-crochet patterns including a little girl's sweater, an egg cozy, and an egg cup. The printer's name, Maisons-Allort, and address are clearly visible at the bottom of the page, as is the designer's mention ("Dessin Françoise RENAC").

The exposed sheet appears to be in good overall condition for a document of this era, with slight natural yellowing of the paper visible on the edges, without tears or major stains apparent on the shown side. The inscriptions and illustrations are clear and perfectly legible.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Slight traces of time on the paper, age-appropriate wear, without visible structural defects on the presented side.

Did you know? Sewing patterns published in the 1980s by French houses like Maisons-Allort were often distributed as magazine inserts in specialized magazines. They allowed seamstresses to make fashionable clothing of the time themselves, while offering variations adapted to different skill levels thanks to detailed instructions on embroidery and knitting.
