AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Description

This old document is an original sewing pattern from a free weekly supplement of the magazine "Pour vous Madame", titled "MODES DE PARIS 1384". It is a black and white printed sheet featuring children's dress patterns, with a layout typical of the 1960s. The visible page offers four dress ideas for year-round wear, illustrated by two little girls wearing loose, ruffled tunics, paired with flared trousers, in keeping with the children's fashion of the time.

The visual highlights models with ruffled short sleeves, gathered yokes, and applied pocket details, characteristic of practical patterns intended for home sewing. The print shows a matte texture on slightly yellowed paper, typical of supplements from that era. Legible inscriptions state that the pattern is suitable for sizes 4 to 8 years and provide concise explanations on recommended fabrics: gingham, printed cotton, wool, or voile.

The upper right part of the page indicates the origin: "Free weekly supplement of Pour vous Madame, MODES DE PARIS 1384". The text at the bottom of the page details model 1, a summer dress or tunic to be worn over trousers, emphasizing the practicality and versatility of the pattern. The graphic style, typography, and presentation of the children standing barefoot are typical of French publications from the 60s.

The visible document only shows the front side, with no indication of the content of the back or any other sheets that may be included. No major defects appear in the photograph, apart from a slight crease in the paper support, visible at the top edge.
