Description

This document is a vintage sewing pattern for women's trousers, taken from a weekly supplement "Pour Vous Madame" of "Modes de Paris" magazine No. 1367. The page features a straight, high-waisted trouser model with a belt and front zipper closure. The black and white visual shows a woman wearing the trousers paired with a floral blouse, illustrating a typical silhouette of the early 1970s, recognizable by the very flared legs and visible wide hem.

The proposed pattern is referenced as "Model 4," designed for sizes 40 to 44. It specifies that the trousers have two pockets integrated into the side seams and are designed to be worn with various mid-season outfits. The style of the garment, the typography, and the layout of the publication all reflect a retro aesthetic characteristic of women's fashion magazines of the seventies.

The visible sheet presents a descriptive text detailing the practicality and elegance of the model, as well as advice on how to pair it with the wardrobe featured in the magazine. At the top right, we find the mention "Nos patrons pratiques" (Our practical patterns), as well as the title "Les bons numéros de demi-saison" (The good mid-season issues) and the mention "Pas de garde-robe sans pantalon" (No wardrobe without trousers).

The pattern photo is in good visual condition, with slightly patinated edges, typical of a period document. No major snags or tears are visible on the displayed side. The inscriptions and instructions are clear and perfectly legible, making it a reliable source for reconstructing or collecting old patterns.

This period pattern illustrates the expertise of French fashion publications of the 70s, both in the precision of the proposed cuts and in the enhancement of the feminine silhouette of the time. It is an original document, perfect for reproducing retro clothing or as a reference piece for the history of clothing.

Did you know? In the 1970s, French women's magazines like "Modes de Paris" offered cut-out pattern supplements, allowing readers to create the latest trends at home. This practice contributed to the democratization of home sewing and the emergence of iconic silhouettes, such as wide-leg trousers, a symbol of female emancipation at that time.
