Description

This lot features a vintage sewing pattern from the "Avantages" brand, titled "La robe à quilles" (The Skirted Dress). The set is visible in a clear plastic sleeve, placed on a dark wooden surface. The pattern, printed on beige paper, sports a stylized blue illustration of a long-haired woman wearing a button-down dress. The graphic print, typical of French patterns from the 1980s-1990s, is distinguished by its clean lines and retro aesthetic.

At the top right of the pattern, the "avantages" logo is visible in small white letters on a blue background, accompanied by the mention "PATRON N° 58 - TAILLES : 36 - 40 - 44" (PATTERN N° 58 - SIZES: 36 - 40 - 44), indicating the possibility of making the model in three different sizes. The title "La robe à quilles" is printed in blue, highlighting the specific model offered. All the sheets appear complete and well-preserved, with no visible traces of marked creases or notable stains on the visible side.

The presentation of the pattern evokes traditional cutting and sewing methods, with a sober and functional layout. The illustration of the model highlights a straight, button-down dress cut, with a V-neck and long sleeves, typical of women's fashion patterns from past decades. No accessories or additional elements are visible on the sleeve.

The paper used has a slightly yellowed appearance, characteristic of period documents, reinforcing the authenticity and vintage charm of this pattern. The inscriptions and graphics are clear and legible, which facilitates reading for making the garment.

This pattern is for anyone wishing to make a retro-inspired women's dress, true to the style promoted by the Avantages brand during the second half of the 20th century. The item is ideal for home sewing and for recreating vintage clothing.
