AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This lot, visible in the photo, is a vintage sewing pattern, published by "Avantages" magazine, identifiable by the red inscription "Avantages n°144" on the main pattern sheet. The pattern comes in its original translucent thin paper sleeve, adorned with a scattered grey star pattern. This type of pattern is typical of the 1980s-1990s, often given as a supplement in women's magazines for home garment making.
The pattern sheet shows several clothing piece outlines, with lines, dotted lines, and technical indications specific to fabric cutting. On the upper left part of the sleeve, printed instructions and diagrams of pieces to be cut are visible, confirming the sewing purpose of this item. The visible part of the set appears complete, with the pattern carefully folded and protected under plastic.
The visual shows clear printing of cutting lines and text, making it easy to use for a seamstress or a retro fashion enthusiast. The dominant colors are the white of the paper, the grey of the starry patterns, and the red of the "Avantages" logo. The overall condition seems correct for an old pattern, with signs of handling and storage, including folds and creases on the plastic packaging.
This vintage pattern is for anyone looking for a retro model for making clothes or for enriching old textile documentation. It is a period item, characteristic of the DIY (do it yourself) trends of past decades, and a popular medium in sewing for the diversity of models offered.
