Uncut but Not Factory Folded. This sleeveless, scoop-neck bodice is sewn as one continuous piece with dramatically wide-legged culottes, closed with a single long back zipper, and finished with a long self-fabric tie sash that wraps and knots at the waist — giving the piece the sweep of a full-length gown while remaining fully wearable trousers underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"quick-facts\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polynesian Pattern No. 180 \"Anela\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e While we have no confirmed date, the style points to the 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ladies' Wide-Leg Culotte Jumpsuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 (38\" Bust, 30\" Waist, 40\" Hip)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uncut but Not Factory Folded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"design\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnela is built from just nine pieces around one striking effect: a sleeveless, scoop-neck bodice joined directly to culottes cut wide enough to read as a floor-length skirt in motion, while still functioning as trousers. A 16\" back zipper — long enough to step into and close over the hip — confirms this is a true one-piece jumpsuit rather than a separate top and bottom, with a long knotted tie sash worn over it at the waist. The envelope's own suggested fabric list — everything from linen and cotton broadcloth to silk crepe, satin, and peau de soie — signals a design meant to move between casual daytime wear and something considerably dressier, depending on what it's sewn in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"fashion-history\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moment in Fashion History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWide-leg palazzo jumpsuits like this one were a defining shape of 1970s fashion, prized for combining the freedom of trousers with the drama of a gown — and it's a silhouette that has genuinely come back around, with culotte jumpsuits reappearing on runways and in ready-to-wear in recent years. This pattern comes from Polynesian Patterns, a smaller regional company out of Hawaii whose island-inspired branding set it apart from the larger mainland pattern houses of the same decade. A previous owner's name is penned on the envelope in ballpoint — a small, human trace of the pattern's own history before it reached us, uncut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"illustration\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIllustration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover illustration has been digitally restored and enhanced by Judy Yates to highlight the original fashion artwork while preserving the character and artistry of this historic pattern envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-connection-type=\"curated\" data-section=\"connections\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConnections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern demonstrates how the youth movement's bold, unrestricted silhouettes made their way into genuinely wearable, everyday clothing.
