Description

This document is a vintage sewing pattern, published as a supplement to the magazine "Femmes d'aujourd'hui" No. 1444, dated January 3, 1973. It is an original pattern for a women's dress with short kimono sleeves, offered in size 38N. The sheet features a black and white photograph of a model wearing the finished dress, with accessories typical of the early 1970s, and a technical drawing of the back view of the model in the bottom right.

The overall visual presentation is distinctly seventies: the dress, with a slightly A-line silhouette, is structured by topstitched rising cutouts, a classic lapel collar, and a zipper closure at the back. The yoke extends to form short kimono sleeves, a characteristic detail of the period. The belt accentuating the waist and accessories (clutch bag, necklace, pumps) illustrate the feminine fashion style of the era.

The medium is a black and white printed sheet, typical of weekly supplements from French women's magazines of the early 1970s. The pattern number is clearly indicated at the bottom left: No. 3200, size 38N, category A. The introductory text details the garment's construction, emphasizing the technical elements and finishes visible in the photo.

The overall condition of the visible sheet shows some creases and signs of use, with no apparent tears on the photographed side. The contrasts are sharp, the print remains legible, and the paper maintains good integrity. No accessories or additional pieces are visible in the photo, only the main sheet.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The sheet shows some visible creases and signs of use, but remains legible and usable for sewing or archiving.
