Original Patterns from the 1970s
The 1970s was a decade of remarkable variety in fashion, moving freely between romantic bohemian influences, relaxed everyday dressing and sleek, sophisticated tailoring. Flowing maxi dresses, dramatic sleeves, wrap styles, jumpsuits, wide-leg trousers and coordinated separates appeared alongside more streamlined silhouettes as personal expression became an increasingly important part of fashion.
At Patterned, you'll find original 1970s patterns for dresses, skirts, blouses, jackets, trousers, jumpsuits, 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.
