AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This document is an old sewing pattern for a bathrobe from the weekly supplement "Pour vous Madame" of "Modes de Paris", issue number 1395. The page presented highlights model number 4, titled "The two aspects of a bathrobe", intended for making elegant dressing gowns. This pattern offers sizes 40 to 44, as indicated in the header. The pattern describes a straight-cut women's bathrobe, slightly gathered in the yokes, collarless, with long sleeves and slit pockets visible in the photograph. The typical layout, graphic style, and mannequin's attire clearly evoke an aesthetic from the 60s to early 70s.

The cover illustrates the bathrobe made from a small-circle printed fabric, with a tie-waist belt and contrasting white cuffs. The mannequin wears the bathrobe open over patterned trousers, reinforcing the retro aspect of the ensemble. The text specifies that this model is designed to be made from printed cotton, collarless, with details highlighted by soutache. The black and white photograph emphasizes the structured appearance of the garment, its practical details, and its vintage look.

In the upper left, the following mentions are clearly visible: "Our practical patterns", "Sizes 40 to 44", as well as the origin: "Weekly supplement Pour vous Madame, Modes de Paris N° 1395". The introductory text explains that this pattern allows for two styles of dressing gowns, depending on whether one desires a warm or lighter garment, for a well-heated apartment or not.

The document is presented on a wooden background, with apparent good preservation: the edges are neat, with no visible tears or major stains on the displayed side. The print is clear, the inscriptions perfectly legible, and the mannequin's photograph shows no creases or notable defects.
