Vintage Vogue Patterns

I've started to collect uncut vintage Vogue patterns from the "Vogue Paris Originals" and "Vogue Couturier Designs" collections.  The patterns need to have the labels that Vogue used to provide with their designer patterns.

I've bought patterns that I've made in the past ( and, sadly, long ago threw away) and ones that just remind me of something I would have made in the past.

Vogue 1692, Vogue Couturier Design pattern by Pucci of Italy.  This pattern was featured in Vogue pattern book February/March 1967.  Sadly the pattern envelope has been scribbled on but the inside is pristine and it has the original label Vogue used to provide with their designer patterns.  This pattern has some sentiment attached as it's the pattern I used to make my prom dress in high school.  It was fairly scandalous at the time as culottes were strictly forbidden.   I had the view on the right, where the ankle was left loose so it would look like a dress when worn, if you didn't look too closely.

Vogue 1563, a Simonetta Vogue Couturier Design pattern circa 1966.  I didn't make this one but made another very similar (in a navy silk fabric Grandma gave me).

Simonetta was a very elegant Italian designer - here's a photo of model the early super model Simone wearing Simonetta, taken with Frederico Fellini in 1960.  

Vogue 1245, Vogue Paris Original pattern designer Nina Ricci, from 1975.  I made this in a red linen blend and was wearing it in my 1976 passport photo.

Vogue 1948 by Fabiani of Italy was my Christmas present to myself in 2021.  This pattern was featured in Vogue's summer catalog in 1968.  I made this around 1969, in navy with gold buttons,  and wore it often.
