Description

This document is a vintage sewing pattern titled "L'ENSEMBLE DE NUIT" (The Night Set), offered as a free pattern. It is a printed sheet featuring both detailed instructions and technical diagrams for making a feminine night set consisting of a loose-fitting blouse and 3/4 length trousers. The visible side clearly shows a stylized illustration of a woman wearing the set, with a polka dot pattern, as well as the numbered pattern pieces to be cut out on the right.

At the top, the document bears the mention "PATRON GRATUIT" (FREE PATTERN) and provides explanations on available sizes (indicated: 44, 46, 48), the pieces to be assembled (front, back, sleeves, waistband, etc.), and technical recommendations for completion. A legend for different types of stitches (straight stitches, zig-zag, etc.) is also visible, typical of patterns distributed in haberdasheries or magazines in the 1960s to 1970s.

The presentation is characteristic of old patterns: thin paper, monochrome printing, period fashion illustration, and clear cutting diagrams. The instructions are detailed and written in French, with advice for cutting and assembling the different garment pieces. The graphic style of the illustration, the typography, and the layout clearly evoke a retro aesthetic, enhancing its appeal to vintage sewing enthusiasts.

On the right, a technical diagram shows the layout of the pieces to be cut on the fabric, with annotations on the width (visible "0m45 x 2" indication). The different parts of the pattern are numbered (1 to 8), facilitating understanding of the assembly. At the bottom left, small drawings illustrate the two main elements of the pajamas: the blouse and the trousers.

This old sewing pattern is ideal for reconstructing vintage clothing, decorating a sewing workshop, or for any textile creation project inspired by the 60s-70s. Its original condition, with some visible folds and signs of use in the photo, attests to its authenticity and age.
