AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Period sewing pattern, published in the free weekly supplement "Femmes d'Aujourd'hui" N°1294 dated February 18, 1970. This is an original dress pattern, clearly identified by the main photograph and the technical drawing visible on the page. The model shown is a short A-line dress, characteristic of the 1970s style, with short sleeves, a rounded neckline, and two decorative patch pockets with flaps on the front, each fastened with a visible button.

The page features a black and white photo of a model wearing the finished dress, as well as a flat drawing showing the model from the front and back. The graphic style, typography, and layout correspond to vintage fashion publications of this period. The inscription specifies the size (T. 46), model number (N° 7.900), and category (Cat. A).

The pattern is for creating a dress with a straight silhouette, typical of early 1970s fashion trends. The patch pockets, visible topstitching, and crew neck are distinctive elements of the retro design. The document is printed on paper, with a neat and legible presentation. No other accessories or apparent patterns are visible on this page.

The top of the sheet indicates: "SUPPLÉMENT HEBDOMADAIRE GRATUIT à FEMMES D'AUJOURD'HUI N° 1294 ? LE 18 FÉVRIER 1970", which attests to the authenticity and provenance of this antique pattern. The illustrations show the dress worn with tights and a necklace, reflecting the fashion spirit of the era.

This vintage pattern is an ideal piece for reconstructing retro clothing, creative sewing, or studying 1970s fashion design. The object shown in the photo corresponds to a printed sheet, of which only the front is visible here.
