AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This original document is an antique children's sewing pattern, published as a free weekly supplement to the magazine "Pour vous Madame - Modes de Paris", issue number 1161. The visible cover features a black and white photograph of two children wearing clothes made from this pattern, titled "Les bons petits diables" (The Good Little Devils). One child is wearing a short-sleeved striped set, while the other wears a short-sleeved striped top and plain trousers. The clothing style, layout, and grain of the photograph strongly suggest a publication date in the 1970s.

The document is presented as a printed sheet, with a typical magazine press layout of the era and clearly legible characters. In the top right corner, "NOS PATRONS PRATIQUES" (Our Practical Patterns) is visible, highlighting the utilitarian purpose of the pattern. The main title "LES BONS PETITS DIABLES" is accompanied by a short, partially legible promotional text, praising the practicality and playful nature of the proposed designs.

On this side, two models are clearly identified by numbers. The clothing proposed appears suitable for children's everyday wear, with simple and comfortable cuts, typical of vintage children's fashion. The slightly yellowed paper, visible creases, and matte texture attest to the age and authentic character of this period pattern.

The striped motifs and relaxed look of the illustrated garments accurately reflect the retro trends of 1970s children's fashion. No major defects are visible on this side, apart from some signs of wear and slight creasing, common for an old paper document.

The visible inscriptions also include "Service Patrons" (Pattern Department), confirming that this is an original sewing pattern, intended for use in making homemade clothes.
