AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Original Burda sewing pattern, reference 2 0940, presented in its original plastic pouch. This pattern, designed for women's dresses, offers three European sizes visible on the cover: 38, 40, and 42. The front shows several illustrations: a color photograph of a model wearing a light blue dress with short sleeves and a contrasting belt, as well as two technical drawings representing other dress variations (including a version with a contrasting collar and a floral print version).

The pattern is clearly identified as a 70s model, both by the clothing style and the graphic layout typical of this decade (characteristic "burda" lettering, pastel color palette, sober layout). The instructions appear multilingual, with a French mention "Patron à trois tailles" and an English mention "Three-sizes pattern".

The visible pouch is translucent, revealing the folded paper pattern sheet inside. The illustrations highlight feminine dress cuts with a defined waist, short sleeves, and a shirt collar, very representative of retro fashion. The overall presentation is neat: the edges of the pouch are clean, with no visible tears on the exposed side.

The black and white technical drawings specify the different possible variations from the same pattern. The whole is printed on a colored cardboard sheet, typical of Burda sewing patterns of this era. The reference number "2 0940" is clearly legible at the top left, with the French and American sizes indicated just below.

This vintage Burda pattern is ideal for creating a retro dress, faithful to the aesthetics of the 1970s, or for completing a collection of old sewing archives. All visible content is period, with no subsequent additions or apparent modifications on the side shown.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The plastic pouch shows slight handling marks, with no visible tears on the front. The print on the cardboard sheet retains sharp colors, with no stains or major creases visible on the exposed side. The internal content is not verifiable from the photo; only the external presentation is guaranteed to conform to the image.

Did you know? Burda patterns, created in Germany in the 1950s, revolutionized European domestic sewing by widely distributing contemporary designs. By the 70s, Burda was already an international benchmark, offering designs regularly adapted to women's ready-to-wear trends.
