Mode pratique in the August 10, 1947 had directions for a brother sister outfit. The outfits were for 2-3 year olds. The title was "Frère et soeur". The outfit was a "jupe" (short jacket) for the boy and girl. The boy wore what was described as culotte, but look like suspender romper pants. The girls outfit was a coordinated suspender skirt. They were shown in green. I'm not sure what the material was. August is summer in France and these outfits look perfect for summer wear. The outfit was done in a wool knit. Note the different weaves in the illustration here.
La Mode Pratique was a very popular fashion magazine in France." It included both fashion information and patterns. We have few details on the publishing history of the magazine at this time. We do note that it was published during the 1920s. We do not yet know, however when it was founded or ceased publication. It appears to have had considerable information about children's clothing. We do know that it was published throughout the 1930s-40s and into the 50s. We had thought that Mode pratique was a monnthly, but during the 1940os it seems to have been issued twice monthly.
