Original Patterns from the 1960s
The 1960s was a decade of extraordinary change in fashion, beginning with the refined silhouettes and sophisticated tailoring of the early years before embracing the youthful energy, shorter hemlines and bold new shapes that came to define the era. Shift dresses, A-line silhouettes, elegant suits and coats, playful separates and mod-inspired designs reflected a rapidly changing approach to personal style.
At Patterned, you'll find original 1960s patterns for dresses, skirts, blouses, suits, coats, eveningwear, separates and more, including designs from some of the era's most recognisable pattern houses.
Because our patterns are genuine vintage originals, each one has its own history and condition. Every pattern is individually checked and clearly described as Factory Folded, Cut & Complete, Cut & Incomplete or otherwise noted, so you can purchase with confidence knowing exactly what you're receiving.
