Description

This old document is a vintage sewing pattern for women's pajamas, published as a free weekly supplement to the magazine "Pour Vous Madame" under the "Modes de Paris" collection, no. 1394. The black and white pattern features a loose-fitting, long-sleeved pajama model, accompanied by a matching headband, both adorned with a polka dot pattern visible in the photograph. The set offers a straight and fluid cut, highlighted by an open neckline and a tie belt at the waist, characteristic of 1970s fashion trends. The photograph shows a female silhouette adopting a natural, barefoot pose, illustrating the comfortable and relaxed look sought for nighttime wear.

The right side of the pattern clearly indicates the title "Sweet night in pajamas," followed by the mention "Sizes 40 to 44," which specifies its adaptability to several body types. It also includes a description of the model, which highlights the use of polka dot cotton jersey (material indicated in the text, to be used), the simplicity of assembly without fasteners, and the warmth of the garment for cool nights. The instructions emphasize the practical and accessible nature of the pattern, designed to be made by hand or machine, without a complex fastening system.

The print features typography and layout typical of 1970s French publications, with wide margins, frames, and a neat presentation of the text. Visible mentions include "NOS PATRONS PRATIQUES" (OUR PRACTICAL PATTERNS) and the reference "Part. C 1394-50" at the bottom of the document. The visual of the pajamas, with its regular polka dot pattern and straight cut, immediately evokes the retro aesthetic of nightwear fashion from that period.

This paper pattern is intended to be cut out or traced to serve as a basis for making women's pajamas. Its apparent condition is that of an old document, with paper that seems to have retained its readability and structure, with no visible tears or stains on the displayed side. No significant annotations or creases are observable on this side.

The item offered is therefore an authentic vintage sewing pattern, ideal for creating retro clothing or for enriching documentation on 1970s women's fashion. It can also serve as a source of inspiration for contemporary creation or the reconstruction of period outfits, thanks to the precision of its indications and the clarity of the original presentation.

Used item, sold as is. The visible side is in good overall condition, with no major apparent defects.

Did you know? In the 1970s, sewing pattern supplements were frequently included in French women's magazines such as "Modes de Paris" or "Pour Vous Madame." These patterns allowed readers to make fashionable clothes at home, adapted to their body shape, at a time when ready-to-wear was becoming democratized but sometimes remained expensive or not very personalized.
