Vintage children's sewing pattern L'Écho de la Mode, old retro girl's dress model

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique sewing pattern, titled "Patron Modèle" (Pattern Model), was published by L’Écho de la Mode, a historical reference in French women's press. The visible cover features a colored drawing of a young girl wearing a long-sleeved dress, characterized by an elaborate neckline and a tie-back belt. The pattern also includes a back illustration of the dress, as well as several technical diagrams on the left sidebar, detailing the different steps of construction and assembly of the pieces.

The background of the cover is white, with a wide light blue column on the left serving as a support for the diagrammatic instructions. The title "Patron Modèle" appears at the top in dark red typography, surmounted by a handwritten "Licencié" (Licensed) in red, likely added by hand. At the bottom, the mention "ÉDITÉ PAR L’ÉCHO de la MODE" (PUBLISHED BY L'ÉCHO de la MODE) is clearly printed in red. A reference number "100234" and a code "B.A.2" are also visible on the upper right part.

The graphic style, both of the main drawing and the diagrams, clearly evokes a 1950s to 1960s design, typical of fashion publications from that period. The ensemble stands out with an authentic retro feel, accentuated by the typography, color treatment, and childlike illustrations.

The cover shows visible folds and signs of wear, particularly on the edges and corners, attesting to its age and handling over time. The colors remain vibrant, and all essential inscriptions are legible on the visible front. No interior content is visible in the photo.

This pattern is intended for making a child's dress, specifically for a little girl, as indicated by the main illustration. It is a complete model, with detailed assembly diagrams and instructions printed in French.
