Vintage sewing pattern wool coat 1972 Modes & Travaux old retro

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage sewing pattern, visible in the photo, is an original design for making a woolen coat. It is "Pattern of the Month No. 5162 - October 1972", published by Modes & Travaux, as indicated on the bottom right of the envelope. The visual shows a precise technical illustration of the finished piece: a long coat with a shirt collar, visible buttons down the entire front, long sleeves, and patch pockets. A back silhouette allows for appreciation of the straight cut and drape of the garment.

The pattern is presented in its original envelope, made of thin translucent paper, typical of old patterns. The visible front shows a slight patina and some creases, testifying to its age, but the printing remains legible, with all graphic elements and texts clearly visible. The drawing style, font graphics, and layout are characteristic of the 1970s, confirming the 1972 dating.

The mention "MANTEAU EN LAINAGE" (WOOL COAT) is clearly visible at the top left, specifying the pattern's purpose. The publisher "MODES & TRAVAUX. Édouard Boucher" is printed at the bottom right, guaranteeing an authentic model from a reference magazine in fashion and domestic sewing in France.

The visible part of the pattern shows the detail of the seams, button placements, and the general structure of the garment. The pattern tracing is also visible, with the main lines necessary for assembly. The whole gives the impression of a complete model, ready to be used by an experienced or beginner seamstress wishing to create a retro coat faithful to the fashion of the era.

The back of the envelope and the interior contents are not visible in the photo; only the illustrated and printed front is described here.
