AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Original Burda brand sewing pattern, reference 4 0240, visible in a transparent plastic sleeve. This vintage pattern offers the creation of long women's coats, illustrated on the cover by several models: a plain straight coat with a shirt collar and patch pockets, a plaid coat with a hood, as well as a double-breasted version with a matching scarf. The drawings feature loose cuts, long sleeves, and classic 70s details. The pattern pieces and instructions are partially visible inside the sleeve.

The presentation board displays "burda", reference "4 0240", and a double size marking "38+40" (European system) at the top. The corresponding sizes are listed: 38 + 40, which is equivalent to 12 + 14 UK, 18 + 20 US. The text is bilingual (German/French/English), indicating a two-size pattern, with technical diagrams of the three variations (A, B, C) at the bottom left.

The cover highlights a retro style, typical of late 1970s women's fashion, with long coats, wide collars, and a structured silhouette. The illustrations are complemented by a color photo of a plaid coat worn outdoors, emphasizing the authentic vintage aspect of the pattern. The pattern pieces appear complete, folded behind the sleeve, though their exact condition cannot be verified without opening.

The set has an old appearance, the paper of the sleeve showing a slight patina and signs of use consistent with prolonged storage. No major defects are visible on the front, apart from some creases in the protective plastic. The inscriptions and illustrations remain clear and legible.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Original sleeve shows signs of handling and slight yellowing; internal pattern pieces and documents have not been checked individually but overall appearance is consistent with age.

Did you know? Burda patterns, published since 1950 in Germany, democratized home sewing in Europe thanks to their multilingual explanations and cuts adapted to the trends of each decade. 70s models are particularly sought after for their timeless style and lines inspired by ready-to-wear of the era.
