Detailed visual description

This photographed document presents a vintage sewing pattern in the form of a weekly supplement, titled "Nos patrons pratiques" (Our Practical Patterns), from issue N° 1011 of the magazine "Pour vous Madame Modes de Paris". The cover features a black and white photograph of a model wearing a sleeveless tunic dress with a straight collar, typical of 1960s style. The garment is made from a printed fabric with geometric and abstract patterns, featuring a base of squares and circles, evoking the graphic aesthetic of that decade.

The tunic dress visible in the photo is designed with a straight, slightly A-line cut, ending above the knee, with a decorative yoke at the bottom and an apparent placket on the front. The stand-up collar is fastened with a small button or hook, a characteristic detail of creations from the period. The model wears wide bracelets on her wrist, a frequent accessory in 1960s women's fashion. The fabric print, though rendered in grayscale on this plate, suggests a rich pattern, likely colored originally.

The text printed on the page indicates that it is a free supplement, offering a practical pattern to order under the reference "A 1011-50". This type of publication was common in French women's magazines of the 1960s, allowing readers to make trendy clothes at home using full-size or enlargeable patterns.

At the top right, the mention of "Modes de Paris N° 1011" precisely identifies the origin of this pattern. The entire plate appears to be in good used condition, with a visible margin all around and fine-grained paper, typical of magazines from that era. No major defects or apparent stains on the visible side, apart from slight signs of wear on the edges, consistent with the age of the document.

The graphic style, typography, and layout confirm a very probable dating to the 1960s, in line with "mod" fashion and the characteristic geometric prints of this period. This pattern is intended for creating a dress with an iconic silhouette of the decade, easily identifiable by enthusiasts of retro sewing and textile design.
