Vintage sewing pattern Modes & Travaux striped dress 70s retro antique

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot is a vintage sewing pattern, published by the Modes & Travaux brand. It is "Patron Immédiat Couture" model n°104, intended for making a diagonal striped dress. The cover features a period color photo illustrating the dress being worn, highlighting a straight, knee-length cut, with long sleeves and a wide, pointed 70s-inspired collar. The diagonal striped pattern, in light tones enhanced with red and beige lines, is typical of 1970s fashion aesthetics.

The cover specifies that the pattern offers three main sizes (40, 44, 48), and that it can be used for seven sizes (from 38 to 50). The instructions and pattern piece layout are indicated on the back (not visible here). The dress, according to the presentation, is characterized by a loose fit, batwing sleeves, and a cinched waist. The black and white drawing, also visible on the cover, confirms the cut and style of the proposed garment.

The cover visual shows a woman with a typical 70s hairstyle, with slingback pumps and an elegant pose, reinforcing the retro authenticity of the pattern. The plain blue background highlights the garment and the striped pattern. The top of the cover clearly displays the "Modes & Travaux" brand in an oval blue and white cartouche, as well as the mention "Patron immédiat couture".

The entire cover shows some signs of wear and handling, visible on the edges and corners, which are normal for an old pattern. No major tears or structural defects are visible on the front. The cover colors have remained well-contrasted despite the passage of time.

This pattern perfectly illustrates 70s women's fashion, with its geometric design and loose, structured cut. It will be suitable for both recreating a period wardrobe and creating current vintage clothing.
