AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This document, visible in the photo, is a vintage sewing pattern, illustrated in black and white, from a weekly supplement "Pour Vous Madame MODES DE PARIS N°1399". The full-width page features a women's cape pattern titled "Sports cape, elegant cape", with sizes 40 to 44 indicated. The photograph shows a woman wearing a thick, checkered cape with a wide fringed scarf collar, typical of the sport-chic style of the 1930s-1940s.

The pattern offers two variations of the cape, one cut from Scottish wool, short and comfortable, ideal for complementing a skirt or trousers, and finished with a fringe on the front and at the ends of the collar. The text mentions that the sports model is intended for daily wear, in the morning or evening, in the city or on weekends.

The presentation is typical of fashion pattern publications from the early to mid-20th century, with a sober layout, thick typography for titles, and detailed explanations at the bottom of the page. The entire piece is printed on matte paper, slightly yellowed by time, with a black border framing the photograph and texts.

The inscription of the supplement is clearly visible: "NOS PATRONS PRATIQUES" (Our Practical Patterns) as well as the supplement number "N°1399". No major defects are visible on the presented side, apart from a slight patina due to the age of the paper. The edges appear neat, with no apparent tears.

This vintage pattern will be perfect for anyone looking for authentic retro inspiration for creating an elegant or sporty cape, or wishing to enrich a collection of old French fashion documentation. The visible instructions are in French, and the photo highlights the refined aesthetic of women's fashion of the era.

Condition

Did you know? Free pattern supplements like this were commonly distributed in French women's magazines from the early to mid-20th century. They allowed many women to make fashionable clothes at home, at a time when ready-to-wear was much less common than today.
