AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage sewing pattern published by Prima magazine, dated December 1997 (No. 183), visible at the top of the page. This is a free pattern offered in this issue, intended for making a low-cut dress. The cover features an illustration of the dress seen from the back, highlighting a flowing, feminine, and elegant cut, typical of late 1990s fashion. The graphic style, color choices (predominantly blue on a white background), and editorial presentation correspond to the aesthetic of sewing patterns from that period.

The visible side features various thematic boxes related to sewing and crafts (chic contrasts, monochrome in pink, candle holders at the end of the thread, under the stars), as well as the sizes offered for this model: 38, 42, and 46. The main box at the bottom right specifies that it is a "low-cut dress" and indicates that the pattern is "easy to make by following the 4 steps of our sewing lesson."

The entire pattern is printed on a thin sheet, typical of vintage patterns, with a slightly translucent appearance visible in the photo. The Prima editorial design and typography are consistent with the late 90s. No logo or material mention is observable on the visible side, apart from the clearly identified Prima brand.

The page shows a neat editorial layout, with explanatory text areas, example photographs, and a large fashion illustration in the center. The edges of the sheet show a clean cut, with no excessive wear or tears visible on the presented side. Natural light highlights the paper texture, without distracting reflections or major alterations.

This pattern will be particularly suitable for making DIY garments inspired by retro style or for complementing documentation on fashion and sewing at the end of the 20th century. The item is presented as shown in the photo, without any visible accessories or supplements.

Used item, sold as is. The sheet is in good overall condition on the visible side, with legible prints and preserved colors. No major defects apparent on the front. Any traces of use or age are consistent with the document's age.
