Rare, uncut and factory-folded! A fabulous suit in size 16 (bust 36") from a 1960s French fashion designer. See photos. Alas, there was no label in the envelope - apparently it was an extra that customers could ask for "at the Pattern Counter." Complete with instructions, see photos.
Bust 36" --- Hip 38"

ABOUT DESIGNER JACQUES HEIM
To learn more about the French fashion designer Jacques Heim (1899-1967) (inventor of the bikini?) see missloveschic.com/2016/09/30/the-fashion-designer-jacques-heim/ and wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Heim. The 1967 date on this pattern puts it as one of his last designs.
ABOUT THE COLLECTION
This extensive ***plus-sized*** vintage pattern collection is from a recent estate sale in a local mansion. Sizes range from 14 to 22. (As you may know, vintage plus-sized patterns can be hard to find!) There were buttons too.
Please follow my store to keep up on the latest listings. My plan is to list 5 patterns a day.
SHIPPING
