It is a vintage publication featuring a pattern for two twin dresses, specifically referenced as numbers 4000 and 4001, intended for a woman (size 44N) and a 4-year-old girl. The cover features a black and white photograph of a mother and daughter, each wearing a plaid shift dress, highlighting the matching mother-daughter style very popular at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible pattern proposes a straight cut typical of the 1970s, with a yoke at the bust, adorned with a ruffle and long sleeves gathered by a drawstring. The applied pockets and the bias finish of the ruffle demonstrate the attention to detail. A technical diagram, visible at the bottom right of the page, illustrates the general shape of the dress, making it easier to identify the model to be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe document presents an authentically retro look, with its slightly yellowed paper and layout characteristic of publications of the era. The main inscriptions are perfectly legible: \"DEUX ROBES JUMELLES N°4000 ET 4001 TAILLES 44N ET 4 ANS\" (TWO TWIN DRESSES N°4000 AND 4001 SIZES 44N AND 4 YEARS), as well as a detailed description of the proposed models. The mention of the free supplement and the date attest to its authenticity and its roots in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern highlights the mother-daughter trend of the moment, inviting the creation of coordinated dresses in a light plaid fabric, as specified in the text. This type of pattern was typically offered as a supplement to women's magazines to encourage home sewing and garment personalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot includes only the page visible in the photo, with no indication of accessories or additional plates. The overall condition appears good for a document of this era, with some minor signs of wear visible on the edges, and no apparent tears on the shown side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
