Description

This original document is a vintage sewing pattern for children's clothing. It is a black and white page from a weekly supplement titled "Pour Madame - Modes de Paris," referenced as N°1206. The visible side features a photograph of a little girl wearing a puff-sleeved dress with a round collar and a gathered skirt, typical of the 1950s-60s children's style. The outfit is adorned with a floral motif visible on the dress worn by the child.

At the top left of the page is the following text: "Free weekly supplement Pour Madame Modes de Paris N°1206 OUR PRACTICAL PATTERNS THE LITTLE ONES' CORNER (Sizes 2 years, 3 years, and 4 years)." The advertisement specifies that this pattern can be used to make a little girl's dress, and that decorative elements such as a ruffle or gathered lace can be added according to the seamstress's wishes.

The main photograph shows the little girl from the front, holding a doll, allowing appreciation of the garment's cut and drape. A second vignette, at the bottom left, shows the same little girl from behind, sitting on a rocking horse, highlighting the volume of the skirt and the length of the dress. The entire document is printed on thin paper, with a slightly yellowed appearance due to age, reinforcing its vintage authenticity.

The graphic style, typeface, and layout are characteristic of women's magazines and fashion patterns distributed in France in the 1950s-1960s. No other elements (cut paper pattern, cutting sheet, accessories) are visible on this side of the document.

This pattern is intended for making dresses for little girls, sizes 2, 3, and 4 years, as indicated in the printed text. The careful presentation, the vintage photograph, and the "Modes de Paris" origin make it a sought-after retro sewing item, ideal for recreating authentic outfits or for decorating a sewing workshop.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The page shows signs of handling, slight creases, and yellowing of the paper, testifying to its age. No visible tears on the shown side.
