Description

This document, visible in the photo, is a vintage sewing pattern for a women's blouse. It is a free weekly supplement for "Femmes d’Aujourd’hui", dated June 23, 1971 (no. 1364), which clearly identifies the item as an authentic 1970s piece. The page features a black and white photograph of a female model wearing the blouse made from the pattern, accessorized with a scarf and a large bracelet. The proposed garment is distinguished by a classic shirt collar, short sleeves, two large flap pockets on the chest, and a button-front closure, typical of 1970s women's fashion.

On the left side of the document, one can observe the technical diagram of the different pattern pieces, numbered and named (back, front, sleeve, collar, pocket, pocket flap, waistband), with cutting and assembly instructions. The indicated sizes are 38N and 44N (Cat. B), which correspond to French women's sizes, an element explicitly mentioned on the sheet.

The graphic style and layout, with a large central photo and a technical information band on the left, are characteristic of sewing supplements distributed in women's magazines from the early 1970s. The details of the garment, such as the patch pockets and the straight cut, evoke a utilitarian and modern spirit, very much in vogue during that period. The pattern is printed on paper, with a sober and functional presentation, with no visible color other than the black and white of the vintage print.

The whole is in good visual condition as shown on the presented side: no major stains, marked creases, or visible missing parts on the image. The texts and diagrams are legible, allowing for direct use or display in a sewing workshop, a vintage haberdashery, or as retro fashion-themed decoration from the 70s.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The side visible in the photo shows no major apparent defects; any additional observations would need to be made on the other sides not visible here.

Did you know? Sewing pattern supplements distributed in French women's magazines in the 60s and 70s greatly contributed to the democratization of "handmade" fashion.
