 Hi, you guys welcome back to another first impression review video for the big four or if you look at this thing, the big seven who knows how many there are now but the vogue summer vogue summer patterns just dropped. It's a little bit confusing because the other pattern drops from last week and the week before we're all spring so Nobody knows what season it is over there, but regardless we've got a new collection of vote patterns, I am still looking for a pattern for the so along I have been so uninspired it needs to be. Something that is size inclusive and also does not already include a so along so if you see anything in here that you think is suitable that you want to learn how to make. Let me know, otherwise i'm going to have to go back a season, maybe even to last year to find something else, but. Let me know if you can think of anything that you want some help with Okay, the first one here is a Mrs dress in two links with a belt. fitted lined dress with link variations has side front seams on skirt thread loops side seen pockets invisible back zipper left. side front slit and baby hymns view a has contrast inset dress includes matching belt with covered buckle Okay, this is a kind of like a tried and true silhouette for vogue I remember. Oh, I don't know 2018 maybe they did that one with the super deep V that everybody and their brother was making. This one does have the modesty panel which okay I get that that's helpful, but the execution has to be spot on with your skin tone granted, this is a fit model they had no idea what her skin tone was going to be coming in. So you know you can see it on her, but I would assume that if you're doing it yourself you're going to try and get a pretty close match i'm also kind of surprised they didn't offer a solution that wasn't sheer. Just to show the versatility of it you don't have been have to I mean the modesty can be 100% modest or you know just a little bit or not at all i'm sure you can leave it open to but anyways it has this halter design I feel like we're seeing a bunch of. halter tops this season. This one does have like a pleat detail at the neckline you come down i'd like to see without the belt to see is it elastic is it just gathered there what's happening. And then you have this really, really deep slit even looks deeper on the maxi version they said baby hems but that looks like a pretty substantial him to me this what well I don't know I don't know what's happening there. Maybe it's just baby hems on the slit and then the dress him has a one inch him, I don't know okay so that's the front. It really is the same dress in two lengths that's the only difference. It is really beautiful you have a center back zipper and then back waste darts and then a whole bunch of gathering through here. Which i'm assuming that's gathering and not elastic. And also you can barely barely see on her but it is a bit long wasted the scene of the skirt is actually hitting at the bottom of the belt. The belt is sitting at her natural ways so this whole scene needs to be moved up to where the middle of this belt is at the very least maybe even the top of the belt would be appropriate. Vogue is kind of known for really long. Long patterns like the length of them being really long because. I don't know it's like more like fashion maybe I don't know why I don't even the models you gotta imagine these models are like 510 or taller and even they're too long for them so I'm always having to like shorten my Vogue patterns but okay so this is the same. Description. Okay so it looks like only a has the in set be does not. And then a version for see I think would be to have the contrast not be sheer. They're recommending crepe back satin crepe to sheen Matt Jersey that would be really fun I think you can even do it out of like an it why not be really pretty you just have to you know be careful with the fit. And then novelty shears and then for the contrast and a they're recommending chiffon that doesn't seem right a was definitely a sheer of some kind it wasn't chiffon I don't think. And then it's lined at least partially. And then it's lined at least partially lightweight feasible interfacing there and then you make like a full on belt. You have to find some synthetic leather leather and then make the belt from there sizing is six to 14 and then 16 to 24 that translates to. A finished waste because that's the most fitted part here of either of 25 inches up to 40 and a half. So it doesn't look like vogue unless they offer a women's pattern is going to be all that size inclusive. This season either they have a not quite caught on but I mean there's only our first pattern so let me you know stand corrected still. Invisible zipper three hooks and eyes and one buckle to cover. And if we look at these line drawings. You can see that it is a gathered skirt into a. Bodice with also underbust gathers so there's no elastic in there is just a gathered dress is like a fit to flare deep the halter situation. Okay, not bad for the first start, not revolutionary in terms of like style and design, but. Cute summery resort. I can definitely see that being a really beautiful dress to make this one is a Mrs top skirt and pants. Close fitting lined fully interfaced fully interfaced bra. Well, that certainly does take the breathability out of it right. I guess you if you've got the woven interfacing from heat and bond, which is like my all time favorite it's woven. It's not papery it's more woven. Maybe that would be a little bit more breathable. I don't know sweetheart neckline band. Front darts separating back zipper. Flaired skirt has raised waist facings invisible back zipper with hook and I closure and stitched him with horsehair braid. I mean they're going in on the finishing details pants has fly front zipper closure and back well pockets. So. Basically, you can see the style lines of the top here. You have like these sewn on bands. These are kind of difficult to sew. Then again, it is vogue. I gotta remember that we're looking at the top here. But you have this little harnessy looking detail, which I actually do really love. I can't wait to see the back of this to see how that translates to the back under bust darts, but under bust band, the fitting on these even the last dress exceptional there. They really nailed the fit on both of these. These can go wrong really easily, but this one has a facing, so there's no waistband on the skirt and there is one on the pants and then the skirt has lots of different seams, maybe just the lace. They're they really nailed the fit on both of these these can go wrong really easily But this one has a facing so there's no waistband on the skirt and there is one on the pants And then the skirt has lots of different Seams maybe just three. I think center front to side seams. I mean, I'm sorry center front to Side fronts and then side seams so there's a lot of seeming going on in here for sure Yeah, the pants are cute the pants are I mean, I don't know not my style I guess Oh, here's the back. Okay, cool So you do have this separating zipper. This is how your banding translates in the back So Yeah, I guess I kind of wished this Scooped around to become part of that like Holstery looking I don't know And then as it's supposed to be invisible back zipper execution not that great considering it's Vogue but Maybe it was done in haste. We've all been there, right? All right, so there's the back of the skirt. Here's the back of the pants Yeah, pretty standard trouser here. There might be a little bit of extra fabric through here like she's gonna get a wedgie at any moment Just it's a it's a flatter Crotch curve in the back than what she needs she needs something a little bit more angled Okay Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get the vision. You know and again, I think people are gonna be really drawn to this I don't know why I'm not getting super excited over these. I think Normally, I'd be like, oh my god, this is amazing I guess because maybe I just feel like we've seen this still like I Don't know I've been on Etsy a lot lately and there's tons of Etsy sellers doing stuff like this granted the finishings wouldn't be the same But plus where am I gonna wear that? Maybe that's also why like where am I gonna wear a crop top and a skirt? It's really not to target which is like my baseline for is this too dressy or not I'm close fitting. Okay. We already read all of that. So pockets are Ankara now that actually would be exceptional Broadcloth heavy satin linen satin and twill Lining fabric and then you have your interfacing as well. So it only looks like a little itty-bitty of lining Which makes me think maybe I Know the bra is fully interface, but is it fully lined? Yeah, close fitting lined fully interface bra. Okay. So, yeah 4 to 12 and 14 to 22 anytime. They're including the size for I'm assuming they are they are shooting. They're aiming for a younger demographic just because naturally Like someone in their teens is gonna be smaller on the whole than grown women who have, you know Gone through childbirth and puberty and all of that kind of stuff Okay separating zipper that you adjust to fit So that means you're gonna have to like break off some of the metal teeth That's that's what they're talking about there. I guess they're they know that a four inch There's no such thing as a four inch separating zipper Which is kind of mean it's like give us make the top the length that the zipper. I don't know Okay, then one nine inch invisible zipper for the back of the skirt um horsehair braid a hook and eye and then for the pants button zipper waistband hook and eye And then they did not give us finished garment measurements on the back of this which I mean, this is one of the most important ones. This is so fitted It even says close fitting anytime it says close fitting. I feel like finished garment measurements on the envelope is a must an absolute must Okay, cute fun if I were going to like You know the Maldives or something for sure Um, here is a mrs. Jacket knit top and pants. So now we're kind of leaning into Lord, I don't even know what this is supposed to do Who's wearing this? A neon suit with a sports bra. Okay, that's a choice I don't know that you're wearing this to the office. This is like a whole other element to day to night. I mean, this is like I don't even I can't wrap my head around this one. Okay loose fitting online jacket has peeked lapel shoulder pads front extending to side back Um welt pockets an interface lined two-piece sleeves pretty standard blazer Happening knit crop top is self lined and has bust darts So it's a crop tank top White like pants low rise sit one inch below the waist with a fly front zipper inside front pockets I do like the the leg the shape of the leg of these pants better than the red ones before but Where where are we going? I get that like target is my threshold and that's a low bar But even on my best day Where am I wearing trousers and a cropped tank top? I guess I'd have to live and I'd have to have this lifestyle that I I don't even know Miami Right. I'm um Okay I I'm not going to work in this right Also, she looks young Which I guess again, yeah That's who's wearing this young people In like a big city and they probably would freaking wear it to work Gen Z right who can explain it I mean, it is a beautiful fitting suit. Um, right. I mean looks exceptional on her Just the concept is just so strange. Yeah, the pants fit exceptionally. Thank you for giving me a back view without the jacket um It's just an odd concept for all three of these things to be in one Pattern, but you know what I'm always asking for something different I'm always saying like don't give us the same thing over and over again And they have delivered here, right? Like how can we reinvent? the classic women's Pantsuit I know Throw it on with a cropped tank top and make it a neon on top of all of that It's fun. It's youthful. I just feel like it's a very very niche situation happening Fabrics for the suit linen blends men's suiting Which why does it have to be men's suiting isn't suiting just suiting Is there a separate suiting for women and men now? No, that's odd um Sear sucker stretch wovens For your little tank top four way stretch knits 75 cross grain stretch. Thank you very much for putting the exact percentage on here um And then lining fabric for the jacket and pants the lining the only the sleeves are lined on the jacket I don't know what is lined in the pants Oh, maybe just the pockets and the waistband Okay, so eight to sixteen and then 18 to 26 So we do have one size larger than we've seen so far Still not giving us finished garment measurements Which I get for the jacket not super necessary But do we have measurement body measurements even at all on this? No They've replaced that with another explanation of the Garment which we see on the front page I guess in the store you wouldn't see that though. I don't know Wow, okay all right, so No finished garment measurements shoulder pads buttons Elastic for your I guess it goes Three yards, so Yeah, maybe all all the openings get the elastic maybe And then zipper all your normal fly front closure stuff Okay, I mean You get what you asked for Lindsey, you know or be careful what you asked for maybe that's the better the better term The better adage Let's see what else we've got this mrs. Top another halter now I I know this is like a throwback, but I love a halter top with a collar I don't know what it is. It just feels like such a sexy boss move to me I'm a big fan of that detail But this is a close fitting top self faced corset waist detail with boning collar and collar band And exposed separating zipper closure view a has long set in sleeves ending and button costs with seam opening and view b His halter style has arms finished with purchased bias tape and a shaped hem So this is I hate this white zipper, but okay, nonetheless, this is a really Interesting take on Office wear again, it's a corseted top But it looks like You're kind of classic Button down This paired with the suit from the pattern before Would have made a little bit more sense Um At least it's like a collared shirt. You could definitely wear this with that suit or any suit um, I think it's I think it's really cool. I think that the idea of taking something like a like a collar that is so like, you know professional and conservative and then pairing it with something that over the years has You know taken on many different forms in terms of sexiness um Combining those two things Is really fun It's really fun. I like this. I like this. I'm not going to make this But the concept of this is really cool and fresh and I appreciate that Yeah, not I I can't do the low rise jeans guys and also are we going back to skinnies now we just We just finally got everybody on the same path that skinnies were out Or I should say slim fit Slim ankle. I don't know what the right term is anymore. Um Yeah, that's a really cool cool outfit if I saw somebody else in that It's also kind of reading a little bit cache. And you might even remember that store Um cache a white house black market that feels like the kind of woman that would Be making this Okay, here's the envelope um fabrics broad cloth cotton shirting and satin 6 to 14 and then 16 to 24 on the size range A ton of notions so featherweight boning separating zipper buttons And then for the top the uh halter top version the same thing but you would also just need bias tape for the um A longer zipper and bias tape for the arm holes Finish garment measurements. Okay, so our waist the corseted waist Finished is 24 and a half up to 40 because they're not giving me body chart measurements Body measurement chart with this. I have no way of assessing what that I mean, I know what my body is But what's the intended ease? That's the whole problem with getting home. So is to make clothes that fit them is You give us a body measurement chart. You give us a finished garment measurement chart And we know our measurements like our own body measurements, but what's it supposed to fit like? You know, that's why I have like the fast fit worksheet to help you make sense of all of that So, um, but I'm not going to be able to do that in this video because I don't have anything to compare to So I'm assuming one or two inches of ease in the waist, but I honestly have no idea Okay, okay So next We have shorts and pants pleated wide leg pants and shorts Sit below the waist both bottoms have fly front zipper button closure eye waistband side seam pockets and Belt loops and stitched hems UA has cargo pants with flaps. Oh my goodness. Oh and a rope belt just To boot. Okay Okay Your classic pleated wide leg pant. They are serving us with three different pant variations so far with the suit pant the What was the other one? I don't even remember we had like the low-rise suit pant. Oh the the more cigarette pant Before that one and now this wide leg pant all with fly front closures So they're not skimping on that detail. This one has pleats. It has belt buckles. I'm sorry belt loops Sightseeing pockets all of that is great This throw on a cargo pocket to anything these days. I'm not I'm not I don't get it I don't get it No vogue woman is going to actually put anything in that pocket Maybe the fabrication went wrong like if you could show it to me in a fabric where it kind of makes sense I'd I'd buy into it more But look at this styling like Is she going fishing? Is that is that what we're doing here? Um, and then she has the rope just in case something goes awry. She's like, you know prepared with some kind of safety mechanism I don't know. I just don't know Um, I I'm getting like, okay beachy. Okay. I'm getting that cargo You know kind of leans toward like fishing is this like Sheik fishing I don't know. I don't get that one But the pants are beautiful The shorts are beautiful. I just don't get the cargo Yeah, now this the back of these pants might be a little too rounded A little too close fitting for her I feel like she's a little bit of ease through here But not as much as there was on her the last time nice big long darts, which is nice Yeah, I'm assuming the waistband is curved. It's fitting. It's fitting pretty good pretty good for a fit model If I had a waistband that turned out that good, I would be happy with that um This here is interesting though, but that could just be because she has one leg longer than the other It's you know certain things you just have to kind of like You know give them And yourself a break for Looks beautiful on this leg though, that's for sure Yeah, really pretty and I think the fit on her in the bum is really good Okay, here is the back of the pattern linen tensile twill and wool suiting Okay, and in lining fabric so they aren't even like Yeah, I guess they're just trying to make it more like a literal version of sportswear um six to fourteen and sixteen and twenty four on the side Range that's a finished waist of twenty four to thirty nine and a half so That probably means nothing to you. It really kind of means nothing to me um Okay, now we've got a badge Lee Mischa So they're doing they're still maintaining their collaboration with Vogue. They've also got the new collaboration at joanne um, so they are really just You know serving the home sewage, which is really nice Fit and flare lined dress Close fitting through bust has spread collar with collar stand notch lapels short sleeves belt decorative covered buttons thread carriers Sightseeing pockets invisible back zipper hook and eye closure note Raw edge collar lapel and hems designed for non fraying fabrics such as scuba Or fraying fabrics that you want that to be a detail Interesting. It's a scuba dress. Okay. Um Well, that doesn't feel very summery to me. That feels like I'm sweating buckets in this thing Maybe like lightweight paunty would would be a maybe another option. You could it definitely wouldn't fray again like The design and then the fabrication don't go together. I don't get it. I don't get it badge Lee Or michka It is pretty Kind of giving like a little bit of like maybe forties flare to it Maybe if it's like a summer, I guess I got to think about badge Lee michka being like, you know, kind of high end maybe it is like a Like a evening Evening dress, but the white is making me feel like it's daytime or bridal And then the collar and the belt and the double breastedness is all making it feel very corporate. I don't know I don't know where we're going in this Wow Okay, so moderate stretch knits 35 cross grain stretch. Thank you again for putting the percentage in there Such as bonded knits double knits scuba fabrics Double knit could be interesting This I think that what would what would happen mostly is people are going to see this and they are going to think Oh cute a little sundress And then realize there's no hymns. And so they're going to be really confused um But again, your belt is being made with synthetic leather for the belt backing. So that's legit 6 to 14 16 to 24 on the size range The waist is the most fitted again 26 and a half to 42 Generous hip and the bust is pretty generous too. I'm guessing Okay, next we have Oh lord. Okay, mrs. Top Bias cut tops have layered fronts Invisible side zipper hook and eye closure in back of neck An armhole facings and baby hymns bb has back slit opening This is just like the early 2000s. I never wanted to see come back. I don't love a layered top It's first of all super expensive to make because there's you know two layers of fabric and secondly, it's just I kind of I actually really do appreciate the shape of the arm hole and the high neckline um It's just like again, I brought this up last time I was talking about this like are we trying to make tunics a thing again? Like tunics weren't great the first time around Maybe if you have this figure but anybody who is pair anybody who is Hourglass anybody with hips like it's just Not the best You do have the option of the true halter top or the little slit opening though Yeah, I don't know I'm torn. Maybe if it were like shorter I would like it more but then I just have like a flowy top and I'm just I'm not doing the flowy top thing anymore And I just like not a vogue girl anymore. Like I might have I reached that point in my life where I'm just Not getting dressed up at all Or at least my version of dressing up is not this fabrics recommended are lightweight crepe rayon chalice silk broadcloth silk short moose um 8 to 16 and then 18 to 26 on the size range Um, you're probably going to use your bust to fit this so 32 and a half to 49 inches on the bust Finished Yeah, like I said, I kind of I really do like The neckline and arm's eye of it all but After that you kind of lose me Okay, now we have this rachel comey. Save us rachel save us Mrs. Dress by rachel comey Um a line midi dress with cut out details has neck tie I'm assuming that's the same. That's just a typo, right? Sydney fitted self-lined front bodice bias back neck and back armhole facings and elastic back skirt of the dress has lining side seam pockets invisible side zipper with hook and eye and stitched him Okay, this is feeling youthful in an appropriate approachable way um This all of this is like coming through here. I'm guessing and causing all this to cinch off That's kind of cool and fun and then it's I think intended to kind of fall off the shoulder a little bit Which creates a beautiful hourglass and then you also have the elastic back here now I'm not entirely sure if this is supposed to be droopy We'll look at the line drawings and see what they indicate um Or if it's supposed to be pulled tighter and more straight across on both I'm thinking the skirt maybe is supposed to be droopy and then the top is not It is really cool and fun and interesting. That's for sure. Okay. I'm liking this one. I'm here for this one styling feels right It feels cool without trying too hard um Yeah, okay, and like I suspected the back is supposed to be straight across so pay attention to that again That probably has something to do with bows just length of their bodices Um, and then the skirt is supposed to hang a little bit. This is super cool. I like this Is this this not two options. There's a seam there So you could make it shorter. Obviously that's an easy change to make anyways, but This is cool. I love this. I typically do like Rachel Comey's designs though It's like simple modern chic But still has like some I don't know. There's something to it um Okay, so fabrics would be cotton-shirting linen blends pop lint. I think that's what they use for their version Rayon Shelly. I don't know about that seersucker. Hey seersucker could be cool and fun For sure and then lining wise it looks like a lot of it is lined Maybe that's what this line is. It's lined to here Skirt of the dress has lining. That's all it says So the top of the dress does not Armhole facings. Okay. Okay. So just the skirt is lined And then you have facings for the top, but I don't know why you couldn't Line that to instead of the facings Okay, 8 to 16 and then 18 to 26 Um And because of the design of this that's getting us A hip of 61 and a half finished And a bust of 52 and a half finished and then your waist is really You know sized by this elastic So it is pretty forgiving in the fit department Maybe this is why I like it so much. I just inherently knew that it would be good for my figure. Um Yeah, okay That's cool. I like that one a lot. Yay. Thank goodness. It wasn't a complete bust Keep it coming. Keep it coming I feel like I'm playing that no wimmy no wimmy Okay, now we've got a mrs. Top Loose fitting pull over tops with back yoke and dropped shoulders Have collar collar band front placket with concealed button closure and shaped him View a armhole is finished with narrow hem View b has long two-piece sleeve With button closure Um and stitched him front sleeve buttons front sleeve Buttons Over back sleeve creating a cold shoulder effect. Okay Oh Oh Interesting. Okay. Okay. This is an entire Button placket. This whole thing is buttons. I think we'll look at the notions, but I think all this is buttons um Okay, so that's a unique way to I mean, I don't know that I'm fully here for the cold shoulder being back again um And again, where am I wearing this? This this to me feels really matronly, right? It feels like A very chic and cool grandma, but you know, somebody not my age for sure Um Even this version, um Golly, I want to like it. I'm kind of think of it. We're just longer into a dress Would that help I I think that I think I'm having a hard time with these tunics I think I'm just I never really understood tunics before I never thought they were very flattering on anybody Um, I get the idea of wanting to like cover parts of your body up But there's better ways to do that than a big oversized shirt um So, yeah, I think maybe if it were lengthened and like, you know, nine or so inches a foot maybe Even keeping this longer bit at the back that could be really cool Yeah, I see how it's unbuttoned here now That is cool. I do like that that feels fresh. Um Maybe the sheer fabric feels like wrong to like they're again trying too hard Like I like the look of this this looks good Yeah, I think it's just like the front tunic part of it. The line drawings even look super cool Like this feels like it could be a Rachel Comey garment actually if it were just Longer just a little bit longer. So that would be my vote. I would for sure make this if it were longer Yeah, then make it into a dress length, but man, that's a lot of work. There are lots of hidden button bands Um, especially if you're going to do it in these fabrics Broadcloth not too bad. Shambray certainly not bad. Shirting's great. Linenblends poplin Okay, but hold on like wait a minute. You're giving me Like some kind of rayon here. This is freaking sheer. Where's the recommendation for that? Like you're not even recommending what you used in your sample that feels I don't know misleading And I'm thinking about like the new or so is right? Who doesn't know better? And they're looking for something lightweight I mean look at this picture in the on the cover where this is like catching the wind and it's so beautiful and flowy You're not getting that out of a broad cloth Or a shirting or certainly not poplin So that just feels like a miss 8 to 16 and an 18 to 26 on the size range finished I mean, it's a very oversized garment all through and through so finished garment measurements are really kind of pointless right now Six buttons for a and 12 buttons for b for the sleeve All right next Give me something good classic Diane von Furstenberg design wrap front dress have neck bands hand sewn hems and sleeve and skirt variations View a has three quarter sleeves ending in bands with split detail view b has short sleeves in collar. Is this knit? I want to know that first Yeah, moderate stretch is 35 on the cross grain mattresses silk jersey. Okay, so this is a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress These are universally flattering Um, if you find like this pretty jersey, it is so comfortable. I feel like she sort of invented pajamas as Clothes, you know what I mean? Um, this little collar Detail is very much her the sleeve with the slit detail is also something she was very well known for so Classic classic. She's been making these for decades and they're not going anywhere um So fun to see this added. I'm sure they've done versions of this in the past um But you know it works so why not keep coming keep them coming um I mean this Diane made frigging fortune off of this design so No reason why we can't just keep releasing sewing patterns of them All right, so as we said moderate stretch 35 percent Um, I you know, I don't know you do you but if you're really going to base it off of the Diane the dbf version it is more of like a Kind of like a silky slinky kind of fabric Maybe even i2y would be nice if you're not going to spring for silk jersey um, I feel like cotton jersey might be a little bit too Sticky and clingy like you really want something that's that's slinky Okay, and then I didn't notice this before but there's also a couple bust starts here And then you have the band so let's see Okay, interesting. I was looking to see what the um notions were there aren't any Which is really disappointing because I would want something in here to keep this from stretching out Um same thing in the shoulder like some some stay tape or something. Um, they're not giving us any of that so Oh, that's a bit of a disappointment There is a little bit of interfacing which i'm assuming you're putting in the neck line. Okay, but interfacing is not enough to keep these knits from Stretching out over time you've seen t-shirts that That get really gross around the neckline. You didn't want this to happen to yours So I would look up some you know finishes some couture finishes for um Bias cut neck band Kind of things and see what you can find but at the very least Stay tape or ribbon something But I guess we're gonna keep it in the easy category so All right, next we have a Mrs. Jacket tunic and pants by marcie tilton. Okay Marcy has never strayed away from her love of tunics So for for this pattern at the very least I can get behind a tunic Loose fitting jacket has inseam stitched down pockets optional bias facings stitched or hand sewn him And set in two piece sleeves with deep turnback hem facings tunics have sleeveless or three-quarter sleeve link option with self facings inseam floating pockets By his binding in front darts pull on pants have oval pockets. Oh my goodness has so many words this jacket is intense inseam stitched down pockets are optional Okay bias facings stitched or hand sewn him And two piece sleeve with deep turnback hem facings. Okay, I got it now all right, so starting with this I guess this little What do we get a c d and b We're gonna go to the line drawings just to make sure I can Tell everything apart. So you have the jacket. This is the inseam stitched down pocket um The collar on this is really cool Yeah, this is fun. It's like a handkerchief, but then you also have this kind of like stand collar thing that I like that a lot I like that a lot Um loose in the back and then you have this little basic tank top. What is this? Is that a seam? Yeah So there's a seam down the center front and right here. That's a very very mercy thing to do um Same thing with the long sleeve top This one has the deep turnback hem as well But this one also has a little notch in the back and then the pants are just elastic pull-on pants There are welt pockets in the back though. Okay All right, all of that makes a lot more sense now. So Again, here's our super cool layering piece It's unlined. It's unfaced. It's there's it's like you can tell because this is like a eyelet, right? And there's nothing under this. This is just all Hemmed it's just a lot of time hemming and the fact that they're even merely Suggesting that you can hand sew this hem down makes me want to punch someone in the face but You have options So that's that version and then there's the top again with the Center front and then this little cross seam again very mercy Very long too. Um, I don't think this is supposed to hit Anywhere I mean, I don't think it's like supposed to be at your waist or supposed to be at your high hip But I would definitely pay attention to the waist Like the horizontal markings of your bust waist and hip on this tunic Just to make sure it doesn't get too overwhelming. Same thing with this top here The sheerness of this top, you know, I got it must be a fabrication thing when it comes to the tunics, right? Like Why do I like these and the other ones I was just not not excited for at all I think it's got to be fabrication Or Marcy's just really good at making them cool even though they're freaking tunics And they shouldn't be cool, but they are because Marcy's done it Um wrong side of your fabric is going to show on the jacket. Keep that in mind This doesn't bother me too much, but there are some fabrics where I would be really be like, oh god, that's so distracting And then there's the pants. Are we going to see any more of the pants? The pants aren't little I don't know about the pants The length is odd I get I think maybe the length of them with the length of all of this But still also the length Yeah, that jacket is super cool Really pretty tops I think this would be a really pretty like beach cover up too Okay So fabrics cotton-shirting eyelets linen rayon bemberg Okay, that's specific rayon shally seersucker silks and silkies And then b and c have some kind of lining to them Uh, the for the facings maybe I don't know And then no finished garment measurements, but all of her stuff is usually pretty As you can see loose fitting anyways, so Um a little bit forgiving in the fit department I don't know that I would wear all these things together Like this is not an outfit I would wear But I would certainly take pieces and parts of it and I could see myself wearing it Certain places with certain things Okay, now we have this skirt It's a lot of skirt Asymmetric ruffled skirt has invisible back zipper sightseeing pockets, baby hymns and length variations Very vogue, right? Um Okay, so waistband gathered skirt And then this enormous Ruffle it is a ruffle and not a flounce. I don't think you could fit that fabric if it were a flounce This is definitely some kind of like, you know, not drapey fabric very structured This is a little bit more draped to it, which is why it's falling in on her body a little bit more It's cool. It's fun. I want to go dancing, you know, like flamenco style I want to like kick it up and twirl around and stuff I'm don't know about going to target in this But I do think that them pairing these skirts with just basic knit tank tops was the right move um Kind of balancing it out The high heels I haven't worn a stiletto in years and I don't plan on going back um So yeah, again, ooh Never mind that is not cute That is not cute. That makes her bum look enormous And I already have a bum that looks enormous. So I don't need one to make it look even more enormous That one's better. Okay. So the the satiny tapeta, you know, dupeony of it all probably I don't know about that in terms of how the back of the skirt is drafted almost because it like here, I'll show you because it's like, um Pulled in here, right for her waist, which is Flattering and great and then it comes out here But it's not a line enough like the gathers are almost being pulled in a little bit So it's creating this like You know bubble For her bum so Maybe just paying careful attention that you know, that doesn't Yeah, even I maybe not that I'm looking at it easy. It even is like a little bit of a straight I would I would maybe even kick it out some just to help with that illusion a little bit Yeah, see how this one's kind of coming out a little bit more. It's not much but And it's probably the same pattern piece. I don't yeah, it's got to just be the fabric there Or maybe even the execution of adding those gathers to it. How much fabric? Oh my good gracious the long one be Six almost six yards The fact that you can even make this out of 45 inch fabric is pretty impressive actually Um, so Ankara chambray linen blend satin tapeta I didn't try it out of something really drapey. That could be kind of cool, too And then finished waste is 25 and a half to 42 for our eight to 16 and 18 to 26 size range Not for everybody. I can see it for an event. I could see it for someone whose lifestyle is you know, you do special things um I would like to see it I'd like to see a casual version of it somehow. I'm just other than fabrication There's no really other way to do that so All right now we have Tom and Linda They've been around for years. This feels a little bit plain for Tom and Linda. No underlined lined dress Good grief Close fitting through bust has side and princess seam pleats side seam pockets lingerie guards, which are bra carriers Ruffled petticoat attached to the lining and invisible back zipper with hook and eye closure So a very unassuming denim dress. I was not denim. Oh gosh. I thought it was like chambray, but it's not it's um Oh Is this jacquard? No, I don't know what it's called. That's beautiful That is stunning if you have a wedding Uh to go attend Um, this is really really really really pretty You guys all agree with that, right? Um, I think you have these princess seams that open out into this You're maintaining that full skirt with the petticoat underneath Beautiful neckline like absolutely stunning neckline. This is really pretty I have nowhere to wear this but I want this just in case You know kind of thing Yeah, look at the line drawing so classic so pretty Love this one brocade cloak, I've never actually seen cloak before. Is that what that was? micado shantung And then lining number one is for your bodice and your hem binding charmous and china silk And then the second lining your underlining is in organza And that again is keeping or creating structure Then you have inner facing for the bodice So the skirt is not lined so That's confusing Because it says ruffled petticoat. I don't like sitting on organza That feels uncomfortable So I'd want to put some another another layer in there to make it a little bit more comfortable I'd have to look at the construction to see what is touching my body and what is not But 8 to 16 18 to 26 on the size range I mean individually Okay, yeah, that's a lot of fabric never mind But you just need one zipper and one hook and I in two small snaps for your bra carriers. That's it. Okay, so In some ways cheaper than some of the other garments we've seen even if they have fewer If you were guarded to requirement that is so pretty love that one all right Next up we have a little lingerie set. This is a mrs. Robe slip dress camisole and pants Loose fitting wrap robe has set in sleeve sightseeing pockets front gathers bias facings Belt and thread loops bias cut fitted camisole and slip have narrow shoulder straps and bust arts So the dress and this I mean the camisole and the slip are the same. Just one is longer than the other one Seneafitted pants above ankle length Have elastic waist and then applied trim to all of them This is a really pretty dress to like wear out to dinner. Um You know a vogue A vogue night wear set is just so freaking extra But I mean Like look at her face. She knows she's like I am rich Oh, it's elegant. Yeah, it's really pretty but it is what it is, right? It's not like, you know anything revolutionary in terms of style and design It does fit some people's like Holes in their wardrobe, right? Like if you wanted like a silk set You can make your own with this I just don't know like how practical it is for everybody I'm gonna go back to this real quick. This is a little bit Concerning through here just a little bit big on her Um, the bust art looks good. This is just maybe this bias binding got a little out of control got out of out of Away from them a little bit Same thing with this hem on the bottom. That's rough But that's beautiful. Like tell me you couldn't make that in like red with black trim or Um black on black. I mean that's a stunning just little dress Okay, and I do like how the robe is like This shape, you know It's meant to be wrapped which I like Oh, that's why it's called a wrapped robe Okay. Well, there you have it Um charmous crepe de sheen rayon shali. I cannot believe they didn't recommend like actual silk Um and then purchase trim 6 to 14 and 16 to 24 Look at all of these notions. Well, most of it is the trim never mind and then just a little bit of elastic for the pants No finished garment measurements Yeah, it's really pretty. It's really pretty. No doubt about it Okay, now we have oh gosh a vintage vogue this is Circa 1974 loose fitting dress in mid knee length has square neckline front button band closing and Wide front and back seaming No side seams wait Wide front and back seaming no side seams Okay, above elbow or full length wide kimono sleeves With bands tie belt Holds in fullness at waistline authentic blah blah blah, okay um Wow, okay. Look at that. That's okay. Um probably not my choice to pick for a reproduction, but It's cool enough I guess square neckline button band Let's see the So there's no there's no side seam. This is confusing though. No side seam thing is throwing me off. Um Just because I can't like picture that in my mind like how that's constructed um Yeah, okay Soft or crisp fabric such as broadcloth shali shali is crisp since when corduroy How are those two things in the same? Let's throw in some double knit some flannel Gabbarding muslin just make it out of muslin. Sure and then shantung like what is that that is like That runs the entire gamut of possible fabrics Um 8 to 16 and then 18 to 26 on the size range for this one And then you have your finished garment measurements here, which It seems pretty oversized Yeah, I it doesn't feel like you could make that very modern and cool. Maybe that's why I'm having a hard time I also don't like it when they use. I mean, I think the old illustrations are cute, but I wish they would make a sample too Just to see it on like a modern woman, you know and also not a cartoon Okay, now we have This was from last time. All right, so now we've caught back up with whatever the last collection was Um, so I distinctly remember this little dress. All right, so that's Vogue summer Woof. What do we think? What do we think? What do we think? I um There are some really strong patterns here. Maybe not for me in my lifestyle, but there are some strong patterns here some of them This this is like throwing me the the freaking cargo pocket on these shorts. It's just really weird But overall Oh, the tunics are back. I It's hit or miss. I feel like it's a very Polarizing collection for me personally either. I I can really get behind it like the dbf Knock off and the racial commie dress or it's just like Meh It's it's not love or hate. It's Love or like no not even lover like it's like love or Indifferent which that might even be worse than hate I don't know to have no feeling about it. I don't know. Um But I want to know what you guys think leave your Impressions in the comment section below Otherwise, that's gonna do it for me on the big four five six seven Um collection until we start getting some more summers. Um So hopefully that'll be coming since summer is around the corner, but I'll see you guys soon. Bye
