This vintage French "Creations Parisiennes" sewing pattern catalog for PDF download is from Winter 1938.
It features outfits designed by the top haute couture designers of the day: Chanel, Jean Patou, Jean Desses, Bruyere, Jacques Heim and more!
Pages include gorgeous evening gowns, wonderful wedding dresses, elegant coats and suits, and dresses for all times of day. There's also sublime skiwear and sportswear.
(Just to clarify, in case there is any misunderstanding: this is a catalog which was aimed at presenting different styles to a dressmaker, who would then place an order for a pattern. It does NOT contain any actual sewing patterns themselves, just beautiful pictures. This is also a French publication, so the small amount of text appears is in French.)
What you'll receive:
--------------------------
There are five PDFs in this download:
• One PDF of the entire magazine in good quality for your reading convenience – 37 pages (23 colour pages, 14 pages in greyscale).
• Four PDFs containing the magazine pages in high resolution top quality. (I’ve split them up into batches to ensure you can print in best quality, while keeping each file size manageable.)
The patterns are incredibly intricate in terms of cut – this was a high-end service aimed at professional dressmakers.
What will you do with your pages? Use them as a fashion reference, put them on your wall. Print them out and use them for scrapbooking, collage and decoupage work. Or simply use them as eye candy on your laptop over coffee...
Technical specs:
-----------------------
Pages are formatted to size A4 (210mm by 297mm) for you to print easily at home. (Simply make sure your printer is set to 100% and A4 borderless.)
You can also print on US Letter paper (215.9mm by 279.4mm). However, you'll need to trim a little white margin off the sides of your printed pages if you want to display them.
I have digitally restored the original pages to remove marks, age spots and scratches. I have not monkeyed about with the colours, which remain the beautiful original tones.
