AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage document is an old sewing pattern from the weekly supplement "Pour vous Madame ? Modes de Paris" No. 1179. The cover, visible in the photo, features a black and white photograph of a model wearing a distinctive women's ensemble, consisting of a double-breasted short jacket and a straight, above-the-knee skirt. The overall appearance clearly evokes the aesthetics of the 1960s, with its geometric lines, contrasting collar, and structured jacket cut. The scene highlights the elegant and urban look of the outfit, enhanced by accessories such as the handbag and high heels visible in the photo.

The pattern is titled "NOS PATRONS PRATIQUES ? ENSEMBLE ÉLÉGANT" (OUR PRACTICAL PATTERNS ? ELEGANT ENSEMBLE) and offers the creation of this model in several sizes (40, 42, 44, as indicated on the visible side). The printed text praises the versatility of the ensemble, recommended for various occasions, such as a wedding or tea party. The instructions for ordering the pattern are partially legible on the cover, which attests to the practical purpose of this supplement at the time.

The paper has a classic matte appearance typical of mid-20th century fashion pattern publications. The edges are slightly wavy and show discrete signs of wear, typical of an old document handled with care. The print contrast remains sharp, with an elegant and legible typography, characteristic of the women's press of the period.

Visually, the layout exudes retro style, with a posed fashion photograph and sober graphic elements. No major defects are visible on the presented side, apart from slight marks related to age and handling. The page appears complete in the image, with no apparent cuts or missing parts.

This vintage pattern is an authentic testimony to 1960s women's fashion, both through the cut of the proposed ensemble and the graphic aesthetic of the supplement. It is intended for anyone looking to recreate or study patterns from this era, or wishing to enrich documentation on the history of clothing.
