AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This document presents a vintage sewing pattern for winter coats, for a little girl and a little boy, sized for children aged 4 to 8. The image shows an illustrated black and white instruction sheet, typical of mid-20th century fashion magazine supplements. At the top left, it clearly reads "WINTER COATS FOR LITTLE GIRL AND BOY - SIZES: 4 to 8 YEARS", which precisely defines the pattern's use.

The visual highlights two children wearing classic coats with a turned-down collar, straight cut, and patch pockets, with raglan sleeves. The coats are fastened with a row of three prominent large buttons. This style is reminiscent of children's clothing from the 1950s-1960s, with a simple and functional line, suitable for the cold season.

The lower part of the document details that it is a free weekly supplement published by "Pour vous Madame, MODES DE PARIS N°1391" and specifies "NOS PATRONS PRATIQUES" (OUR PRACTICAL PATTERNS). The text also mentions the possibility of obtaining these models via the publication's pattern service, which confirms its editorial authenticity.

The visible pattern is distinguished by its uncluttered presentation, typical of French fashion publications of the era. The black and white printing, typography, and layout clearly place this pattern within a retro aesthetic, reinforced by the classic children's attire. No other accessories or clothing are visible on the sheet, which focuses exclusively on the coats.

The visible sheet appears well-preserved, without major stains or excessive creases, apart from a slight fold on the lower left corner. The inscriptions remain legible and clear, making it a reference document for reconstruction or vintage inspiration in children's sewing.
