Antique French Girl's Dressmaking Sampler
This is a very interesting sample book dating I think from the late 19th or early 20th Century. It is in the form of a large folder, with a card cover and interleaved with tissue, which measures approximately 14 inches/35 cms. by 10.5 inches/27 cms.
It is for quite an advanced course in garment design and construction and has line drawings to scale of all the garments. These are shown either in fabric or tissue paper and portray exactly in detail the separate parts and seaming of the garment. The construction of the scale models in tissue paper must have been especially difficult, especially for a young girl, given the fragility of the paper.
There are designs and samples of bed sheets, linens for cradles, aprons of several types (including “un tablier de fantasie”), several chemise patterns, bloomers and a waist petticoat. Most of these have examples of the garments in fabric or tissue paper, all beautifully and carefully made.
The sampler is in good condition, but the edges of the pages are slightly discoloured and creased and some pages are loose and one tissue page is torn. However these are small faults especially in view of the age of the sampler and the materials used.
This is an unusual example and worthy of any collection. Postage for this item is free within the United Kingdom. This is by signed for delivery and includes insurance. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE CONTACT US FOR OVERSEAS POSTAL CHARGES BEFORE PAYING FOR THIS ITEM.
