Description

This original document is a vintage sewing pattern from a free weekly supplement of the magazine "Madame Pour Vous", published by "Modes de Paris" under number 1385. The page features a women's pattern titled "Sunbathing or evening on the terrace", with a black and white photograph of a woman wearing a fine striped summer dress. This pattern is intended for creating a summer-inspired garment, typical of the 1970s, with a backless cut and a wide neckline, fastened at the neck by a band, as specified in the printed description.

The layout of the pattern highlights the slender silhouette of the model, seated outdoors, accessorized with a wide-brimmed hat and glasses placed near her, emphasizing the chic and casual holiday spirit of the period. The dress shown is long, sleeveless, with a visual texture evoking a lightweight vertical striped fabric. The ensemble perfectly illustrates the retro style of women's summer outfits from the late sixties and early seventies.

The visible inscriptions indicate that it is a "Nos Patrons Pratiques" supplement, intended for sizes 40 to 44. The text details the simplicity of creating the model, emphasizing the possibility of adapting the fabric to the seamstress's taste. The pattern reference, "Pattern N° 1385-50", is mentioned, confirming the authenticity of this antique document.

The page is printed on paper, with typography and iconography typical of women's fashion magazines of that era. No major defects appear on the visible side, apart from slight signs of use consistent with a period document.

This old pattern is a testament to the expertise of French fashion houses and the enthusiasm for home sewing in the 70s, a time when people sought to create fashionable outfits themselves, often from supplements like this one.
