AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage sewing pattern, referenced N° 48, features a black and white illustrated plate, centered on the drawing of a woman wearing a long housecoat with a shawl collar, patch pockets, and a tie belt at the waist. The visible cut is straight, with long sleeves and contrasting finishes on the collar, cuffs, and belt. The graphic style and layout are typical of 1980s craft publications, which is confirmed by the "1984" print date at the bottom of the page.

The visible side of the pattern also displays the heading "FASHION SUMMARY: A warm housecoat" as well as a section "CRAFT: Fabric dolls", indicating that this pattern includes at least one main plate dedicated to making women's indoor clothing, likely with instructions or variations related to other textile crafts.

On the right edge, a vertical blue band indicates "PATTERN - CRAFTS," signaling that it is a specialized booklet for cut-out or traceable patterns. The central illustration highlights a female silhouette in a relaxed pose, reinforcing the domestic and comfortable aspect of the proposed model.

The document bears the inscription "Imprimerie de Maisons-Alfort, 60 rue Claude-Del-Duca, 94700 Maisons-Alfort" and the date 1984, attesting to its period authenticity. The overall condition appears good, with no major creases or visible stains on the displayed side. The corners are sharp, and the readability of the text and drawing is satisfactory.

This type of vintage pattern is sought after for reconstructing retro clothing, creative sewing, or workshop decoration, thanks to its typical 80s aesthetic and careful illustration.
