Vintage sewing pattern Modes & Travaux child 3907, sundress, years

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot corresponds to a vintage children's sewing pattern published by the iconic brand "Modes & Travaux". It is model number 3907, titled "Cotton Sundress", presented in its original plastic-wrapped pouch. The cover features three colorful illustrations of young girls wearing three variations of sundresses, typical of 1970s summer aesthetics.

The visual shows an illustrated paper pouch with distinctive graphics from the period, dominated by the green and white oval "Modes & Travaux Patron Immédiat Couture" logo, accompanied by several technical inscriptions. The three models depicted come in different lengths and patterns, with thin straps and a flared cut. The drawings are in a retro style, faithful to the children's clothing trends of the decade.

The pattern offers 3 sizes (heights 126, 138, 150 cm) for children aged 8 to 12. The printed information specifies "1 Pattern: 3 Versions", highlighting the versatility of the model for creating multiple variations of the dress. The inscription "Enfants" (Children) appears at the top right, and the reference 3907 is clearly visible at the top left, confirming the authenticity and traceability of this Modes & Travaux pattern.

The visible front side presents a clean surface, although some creases and signs of wear related to age are visible on the protective plastic packaging. No major tears are visible on the exposed side. The lower part of the visual also mentions the presence of "fabric requirements and presentation of pattern pieces on the back of this pouch," but only the front is visible here.

This pattern is intended for making children's summer dresses, particularly sundress models with straps, very popular in vintage children's fashion. It is aimed at sewers looking for an authentic retro pattern, both for faithful reproduction of a period model and for graphic inspiration from the Modes & Travaux pouch.
