1930s buying Size 20 Bust 38 Looped Sleeve Scarf Collar Coat Excella E 4185 Vintage Sewing Pattern 30s Deco

buying An Excella E 4185…a Misses Coat Sewing Pattern in Size 20, Bust 38.

The unprinted pattern is cut and all the pieces are there.. The instructions are there on the envelope back. The envelope is in excellent antique condition with wear, tanning, stains and tears. The envelope flap is still attached. There is no copyright date and the closest my guide will give me is 1932.

Piece A Front has a small tear. Piece B Side has a small stain. Piece D Front of Underfacing has tiny tears. Piece E Back of Underfacing has been torn in two; the original seamstress has pinned these pieces together. Piece H Sleeve has a small tear.

Please be aware that I have paper clipped the two Pieces E to keep them together as one piece is very small. Be careful when removing it.

Be aware that when working with an antique or vintage pattern that seam allowances need to be checked as they were not always the standard 5/8 inch we use today. It is strongly suggested that a mock-up be done first to get the proper fit before cutting the fashion fabric.



For sizing and materials need please look at the envelope back.


Don't miss out just because the sizing isn't quite right! Resizing a pattern is simple, instructions may be found here:

All patterns are vintage items and sold...AS IS. Although I maintain a smoke-free and a pet-free studio, I have no control over where items have been previously. I attempt to represent my goods as honestly as possible, but sometimes something will get by. If you have any doubts about an item, E-MAIL ME! I want to make sure that you will be pleased with your purchase.

Pattern comes in a zip 2 mil. plastic bag and is shipped in an envelope with a cardboard insert. The zip bag is great for storing the pattern!

Please note that I count the pattern pieces unless factory folded, assess the pattern's condition and press the pattern as necessary. You will never purchase a pattern from me with 'It looks like it's all there' or 'Pieces need pressing'.
