Description

This original document is a vintage sewing pattern from a weekly supplement of the magazine "Modes de Paris", issue 1370, titled "Nos Patrons Pratiques" (Our Practical Patterns). The page presented features two skirt patterns for summer, sizes 40 and 44, with an emphasis on pattern 7. The black and white photograph shows a woman wearing a flared skirt buttoned down the front, paired with a matching blouse, accessorized with a thin belt, a handbag, and a headband in her hair. The fabric print is made of small repeating patterns, typical of women's fashion creations in France from the late 1940s to 1950s.

The visual indicates a neat layout, typical of fashion publications of the time, with a box stating "7 Deux jupes pour l’été" (7 Two skirts for summer) and precise instructions in French. The pattern details mention a bias-cut skirt fastened with a row of buttons, offering an elegant and practical silhouette for the mid-season. The typography, photography, and clothing style clearly place this pattern in the retro spirit of the 1950s.

The page also shows an illustration of the garment's cut, with attention paid to accessories and the model's posture. The printed text specifies that this supplement was offered free by the magazine, a common practice of fashion magazines at the time to retain their readership. No major defects are visible on the presented side, preserving the sharpness of the print and the legibility of the information.

The document highlights the practical and functional nature of the pattern, suitable for making light women's clothing for the summer season. The overall presentation reflects the typical aesthetic of post-war French fashion publications, with an elegant layout and particular care in describing the proposed models.
