 Well, what do you know? We are rolling right into summer. I feel like simplicity and the big four are just like catching up from Like leaving us hanging for so long So we have buttery summer collection now We're gonna take a look at this if you've never seen one of my first impression videos before we just kind of look through the entire sewing collection sewing pattern collection together and I assess it for Fit and fabrication and kind of just like what my thoughts are about it overall in general and You guys reply in the comments and let me know what you guys think and we just have a good time chatting about patterns as if we were like Sitting at your way and looking at the books together, so We're kicking things off with we're gonna skip all of these little kids clothes because I don't so little kids clothes And I don't know it feels a little bit weird to me to like Analyze fit on kids and so I mean and they're always cute, right? Like they're always just gonna be Stinking adorable. Look at this So jumping right into the women's patterns. We have a Mrs. Jacket vest with belt top dress and pant Mrs. Jacket and vest with belt. Oh vest with belt is one thing Okay, got it got it got it got it. This is one of their wardrobe patterns I really really love these because you can make a capsule wardrobe You can make an entire season's worth of outfits in this one pattern You buy a few different fabrics that coordinate with each other and bing-bang boom. You're good to go This one has or includes an online jacket or vest with a matching tie belt side carriers Buttoned epaulets and sightseeing pockets. It also has a fitted knit top and dress that has a neck and armhole bands and then fitted pants have waist facings invisible zipper and Hook and I with a tapered leg. So woven jackets. I'm sorry. Yeah jacket vest and pants and then a knit top and dress Yes, okay, so take a look at each of these little coordinates here or quadrants. This is the vest super cute interesting choice for summer This is feeling a little bit more spring or fall to me. I'm not wearing layers in the summer But I guess maybe if you have like a I don't even know for a cold office But it is really cute outside of the seasonal Confusion it has this really big lapel. These are the epaulets. It's talking about belt carriers a nice big They're calling it a belt. It's really a tie sightseeing pockets This is the little knit dress. Okay, so butter it gets really known for in my mind. It's like patterns for Kind of like the everyday Well, man, you know, I mean like you can go to work in this But you can also like go to brunch or go run errands or like, you know You can wear this in lots of different applications dress-up dress down. So knit t-shirt dress can't go wrong Super comfortable easy to wear This is the jacket version of the vest. We just looked at in a print Same design just with sleeves, but it's also shorter. Yes. Yes Shorter and then here's the tank top. So the same as the dress just cropped and then here's your pant Now the pant have a flat front. There's not an elastic in sight Really kind of she goes, you know the store she goes. That's that's kind of how I equate buttery brand, you know She's a mom she works she has a life. She's social, you know You can apply any of these depending on your fabric choice would really be like the The way to kind of make these garments stand out. I would love to see the pants With like the shirt tucked in or something. I don't think we're gonna get that. Oh Here's the back of the jacket. So it has this pleat also. I Don't I think it's center back seam and then it opens into a pleat I want to see the line drawings too Because now this looks like this is all a pleat Okay The back of the pants look great back of the tank looks awesome, too Yeah, the dress fits wonderfully. There's no pooling here That would be my biggest concern with kind of like a shift dress is that there's enough width in the hip That all of this just floats nicely over the body Okay, here's the back of the envelope. We're gonna look at the bigger versions of the line drawings to see if there's anything we missed but So suggested fabrics for the coat vest and pants. I love that they separated it out We have cotton twill linen satin and silk Yeah, maybe like not all silks, but like silk twill Satine linen. Yeah, for sure, of course with a well bottom weights really you could even do your jacket and vest out of that Suitings maybe even if they're a little bit less drapey a little bit more structured and then C&D are 35% stretch Knits, I love that they put the percentage on there I don't know if they're listening to me or not But I just keep saying it until it happens and then I pointed out When it does happen to acknowledge like reinforce a positive behavior In the hopes that they will start doing it to all the brands. So if you're listening, we love this, okay? Some suggestions are jersey Ponting it now. I don't think Ponting it. It's gonna have a 35% cross gray and stretch Unless it's really lightweight and then it might like barely barely Ribbon it is much stretchier than Ponting it. So You know This I think is the most helpful thing which is why I like seeing the percentage more than necessarily these things Because you can get an idea of Like where you're supposed to be regarding stretch And then if it's not as stretchy, you know to size up if it's super stretchy, you know to size down And then notions wise you're gonna need some buttons an invisible zipper and a hook and I so not a ton of expense there This comes in sizes 8 to 26. I Think it's broken and into two right here. So it's 8 to 16 and then 18 to 26 and then Finish garment measurements are not included on the back of the envelope. So Womp womp, but I think that when you have when they have to include so many Different pattern pieces pattern like there's five patterns in one. So they have to put a lot of info back here So I guess okay fine, but but before you buy it I would for sure I Guess you have to do it in store You can only get you can only see the finished garment measurements in store, which is kind of annoying Especially if you're in between sizes. Oh gosh. Yeah, I don't know. I see I see the argument on both sides Okay, let's look at the line drawings really quickly We have okay, so here's the jacket. Okay. Okay. Okay. I see now Yeah, relatively simple jacket to sew considering it makes such an impact. I think there's just this little facing here on the lapel This is a facing also So you got to assume this kind of wraps around and then comes down on the inside of the jacket here There's this little stitching thing, which is nice and then that opens up into your pleat. I Actually think I kind of love this with just a button right here and like for go the belt You know, you don't always have to have a belt There's the best version that's long and also consider, you know cropping this and make it this is two lengths But you can make it any length you want Yeah, I'm here for like a simple Jacket Vests are really in so I think you're gonna see a lot of this in the fall So go ahead and grab this now for sure. Okay, here's the tank top and dress very simple Okay, you can sew this super super easily There's it's like not super finicky when it comes to applying the bindings Especially because you have actual pattern pieces for this if you've ever done like an indie pattern Where they're like just measure it and figure it out and you're like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa But it's not that straightforward. Okay. Um, so yeah, really really straightforward all of your like Um mid-weight jerseys would be super great out of this to get the structure that they used or like they suggested the Lightweight Ponty, but just be careful because Ponty isn't really a summer fabric. It's kind of like not breathable So so yeah, there's some options there the lighter weight you go with your fabric Like I wouldn't go like bamboo jersey like that would just cling to your body Maybe maybe for the tank top, but for the dress I just feel like you need something that's gonna stand away from your body just a little bit and then the pants We have these nice big darts in the front and back Side zipper and then there's a facing on the inside. So your classic like straight leg, you know pencil pant So yeah, I love a wardrobe pattern next we have a women's shirt and shorts Okay, here for the women's patterns after doing Vogue that has none And also was it who was it new look doesn't have any either Happy to see we're back to size inclusivity here All right So this is a shirt and shorts fitted shirts have collar collar band bust darts long sleeves of pleat button cuffs button front closing top stitch trim and narrow hem view a has long rolled sleeves so the wrong side shows and Button tabs The I'm sorry pleated shorts have side front pockets Okay, fly front zipper carriers and length variations. You see has turned back cuffs So I think that means the wrong side shows to and view D has a stitched hem They're rating this easy That's The sizing is 20 to 28 and 30 to 38 so It's not this is my problem that I always say when it comes to women's patterns outside of like know me and maybe maybe maybe McCalls like It's just not Special it's a little bit too basic and I know that you plus size girlies are looking for something cool unique I mean, I don't know though at the same time like that last time. We just looked at for misses. That's not that unique and interesting So maybe I'm just like expecting too much from all the brands And that I need to respect each brand's kind of vision in which case if this is like the Chico's woman, right like This kind of tracks So okay, I retract my previous statement So what we have here though is a button down like a button-up shirt With a collar and a collar stand. That's what makes me think this is not an easy pattern. That's tricky to do plus the button-placket and then you have the sleeve with the cuff and the Little vent so interesting that they chose easy same thing for the shorts with the fly front This isn't easy. That was that must be an oversight because those all of that together is really difficult to achieve But God the styling is just really something else Yeah, the shirt is fine enough I always always always point this out when it comes to plus size the shoulder seams seem to always be too long and I know that we've got to create some extra room here for the bust but then that should be Taken back in for the shoulder Like for example her shoulder joint is like way up here and okay fine. It's not supposed to sit at the top of her shoulder So it comes down to here maybe you know what I mean? I just always feel like these are way way way too long I don't think that this sleeve head has like a very big Like shoulder what would be the word for it like a like the top of the sleeve pattern, you know It's like a bell shape. I think it's flatter than it is pointier Which means it shouldn't be all the way up on her shoulder, but this just feels really slouchy And I don't know that that was the intent We're also getting maybe because she has her hip pop. We're also getting some Draglines here, which would indicate that the bust isn't fitted well But that again that could just be her pose So let's see what other pictures we get the illustrations are just really hard to like Assess Because I mean is that even like a shoulder seam? I don't know. It's just sort of like a guess This one seems to sit where the actual human models did but I Don't know. I don't really trust that. Oh Then they tied it up. Why is the styling on the illustration like 99 times but 99% better than Then this Yeah, I just don't know if even like the everyday plus-sized woman is wearing knee-length shorts Are you guys I don't I mean I have eyeballs and not on the streets like I see what people wear I'm not seeing These aren't even like really Bermuda style. They're they're kind of too baggy for Bermuda's Huh, maybe it's the two things together. I don't know. This is just like throwing me off and also this this is a lot That is a lot of extra fabric there So I'm not sure like what their full-sized block What size that's based on versus what size she is versus like, you know, I don't know if I don't know. Maybe it's just this one particular pattern. We'll keep an eye out, but We have a and B so the both of the tops which are really the same top just One you roll up the sleeves another when you don't Shambray cotton-shirting crepe, which I think is what they used on the hot pink one And then crinkle It's supposed to say gauze it says gauge, but it's supposed to say gauze And then for the shorts gabardine lightweight denim linen blends twill. Yeah, any of your bottom weights would be suitable for that buttons and buttons and zipper and hook and bar So the sizing we went over 20 to 28 30 to 38 No finished garment measurements on this pattern envelope either Which for this one's not a huge deal simply because The shirt isn't very fitted at all the shorts are at the waist, but Yeah, not yeah Not ideal, but not the end of the world We also never saw like the full waistband of the shorts She they did that tie-up thing, but it was still like covering most of it. You do have two front pleats here and one backed art This appears to be A straight waistband, which means it should sit at her natural waist It does look like it is in the illustration. I can't tell if it is here or not the tie-up version Yeah, yeah, it looks like it's up there If that's the case then i'm wondering No, it looks fine And when they show us the back of the shorts they have the freaking shirt covering it up so God it makes me not want to trust I have like I don't know if it's like Trauma surrounding like misleading model photos or what but I don't know this is starting to feel a little bit weird I guess maybe just muslin this one would be my best advice Or the very least tissue fitted Okay, now we have This is the same thing, okay, okay, so we're doing All of the women's versions are going to have a mrs counterpart and They're going to be separate pattern numbers. So the same way that muck hauls is doing it um So same exact description They put the shorter shorts On this girl on the actual model this time Okay, now that i'm looking at her shoulder it seems to be really long too And this illustration is saying that I don't it said what's throwing me off. I think is that it said Fitted shirt And so it shouldn't have A wide shoulder like that if it's fitted if it's fitted it's fitted Or call it fitted with a drop shoulder. That's kind of weird too, but like What is it? This one also because it's like dipping in right here makes me feel like it is Too long for her there is room in the sleeve cap for this to go up and over her shoulder It's not doing that. So that's what's causing this little dip Does that make sense? Other than that she's not getting the same drag lines as the women's version Um, so the bust You know is suitable for her I mean even so this is the illustration of the women's modeled version And they just tucked it in rolled up the sleeve like they know that this is cuter than what they were presenting On that model Like why style it with the shirt untucked I get like okay one picture of the shirt untucked to show us how Long it is and whatever else but then Helpless visualize this being cute Because this isn't it Oh, this one they just took the shirt right off. Okay So here is The back of the shorts the crotch curve looks okay It looks it looks okay. Um, this is what's concerning me the dip um The dip means that there's not enough rise. There's not enough fabric to go up and over her bum and she doesn't even have a very big bum so Pretty average standard bum here and we're still getting the dip So that's a little bit concerning. Um So all of this is the same and still no finished garment measurements. All right four to 12 I think and then 14 to 20 maybe I'll look at the main page here in a second um Hmm Yeah, four to 12. Oh, they crosses over four to 12 and 12 to 20 In theory, this is really cute and cool. I do like the shorts I just don't know. I just I don't I'm not very confident about the fit of this one Of like the pattern drafting so I would want to just double triple check that before I cut into any of my fabric Okay, now we have mrs. Knit lounge top dress and pants Lounge top dress and pants. Okay, button front top or dress have split neckline Front released pleats Shaped him and stitched him's View a has short sleeves view b armhole is finished with purchase bias tape Okay, semi fitted straight like pants have elastic waist Excuse me. Okay, so Oh, man. Okay. Um Okay, because they're calling this lounge I'm assessing it under the guys of it being Like hang out at home Right. Isn't that what lounge means? um This it just feels like a lot to be lounging buttons These pleats that uh or these darts that open up This little stand collar um Why why we can wear this out? Yes, I'm not being inappropriate. Am I I don't think? so I think a knit dress with all these style details is Perfectly suitable for the outside world um Yeah, I don't know I'm being thrown by the Like they're calling it lounge. So I'm gonna like remove that from my mind And we're gonna just assess this as if it were not lounge I mean lounge pants for sure because they're just elastic waist their knit You know, whatever but this top is like super nice I mean you put a little heel and some jewelry and a purse on her and she's ready to go Okay, so this is a little bit illustrative illust illustrative I know I like to add syllables to words on accidents on accident. So Illus Is that it illustrative? I doesn't feel right Of what I was trying to explain earlier when there isn't enough room in the hip You get this little bit of pooling. This is not a sway back This does not require a sway back adjustment. This requires a either full But adjustment or just greeting out at the hips a little bit more Just a little bit more so that it glides nice and smoothly over the bum Okay, just because you're getting pooling Does not always mean it's a sway back. Okay. I cannot reiterate that enough I think the term sway back and this way back adjustment is overused in home sewing More often than not it's a Circumference fit issue rather than a vertical fit issue. You can always double check that against the waist Markings on the pattern pieces and your bust waist and hip, you know How they have the horizontal markings check those against yourself first And then determine Which adjustment to make Okay, moderate stretch knits 35 stretch cross grain cotton interlock french terry in jersey Yeah, all those would be great If you're going to be wearing this for the outside world, you know, you can go into even like double knits and Um, like cotton jerseys and things like that Five buttons buttons single fold bias tape. I did want to touch on that for a second Bias tape finishing for this is fine It will remove any stretch though, so You can buy stretch bias binding you can make it out of this fabric Um, but buying the packaged stuff that's like that woven really stiff stuff Will Maybe cause some issues in terms of like the stretch and how it like hugs your Body this looks good, but I don't know what they used. So just keep that in mind as well Um, where's the back? So we have and then elastic for the waist band of the pants. Um, eight to 16 18 to 26 on the size of range Finish garment measurements. Okay, finally. So we do have Wow two and a half inches of ease in the bust. Oh, this is a knit garment. Okay, so Two and a half would be suitable even if it were woven For this type of fit. So I would consider maybe sizing down um, the waist is kind of negligible for the for the top And then they only give us the hip measurement for the pants Which that has four inches of ease in the hip again That's kind of suitable for woven's too Um, maybe two inches in the hip if it were knit So a little bit oversized, I think for a knit garment But yeah, I don't see why this is I mean this kind of reads a little bit pajama But this doesn't Yeah, I'm worried that I don't understand that I'd wear that everywhere Maybe they just have like a category that they had to like check off and they're like this one seems close enough Okay, Mrs. Pants and Four Links by Palmer Flesh. So Palmer Flesh is the brand where you learn the tissue fitting um Which honestly Intriguing to tissue fit with the tissue fitting method with the tissue fitting experts Shorts and pants because that's where a lot of people have an issue um, this one has four lengths Waistband with optional belt carriers fly front zipper closure side seam pockets and optional side slits So from the like crotchline up They're all the same And then you have the ankle length of the slit The above ankle length with the slit Bermuda and then mid thigh Yeah, I mean if you've tried some of the other, um, I love how this mimics this cute with the notch also I love all that notching. Um If you've tried the other Pants fitting methods top down center out You've tried, you know making a muslin. You've tried making your own Like using your own measurements to make pants if you tried all of that and none of it works And you haven't tried the tissue fitting method I mean Give it a go. It's definitely interesting. So what it is is you Figure out your size you cut your size Try it on with the tissue like you pin up the side seams for the all the seams with the tissue Put that on and then on the pattern pieces themselves are the lines for where you would make the various adjustments So i'm certain that they have a full belly adjustment on the front and a full seat adjustment on the back They might even have like rise crotch curve and those kinds of adjustments I haven't ever looked at one of them before but they have all of those things drawn on the pattern pieces themselves So it takes a little bit of the guesswork out and then of course they explain to you how to do the adjustment to So I mean I mean, obviously all of these things fit great. They look wonderful on this model. Um, you can see that they also Uh, they also lean toward a more um I guess relaxed fit They it's more of like a standard trouser, you know, where you're going to have room under the butt. It's not going to be super fitted and But it is going to fit well Which I think this one does maybe maybe a little bit too much fabric in the inner thigh If i'm being super super picky um But you can see like the waistband is relatively Straight across I I'm pretty sure they're using a curved waistband here Um, I'm pretty sure this is supposed to sit an inch below your natural waist. So that would make sense um, maybe a little bit funky with the these should be maybe a little bit longer for her but um For the measurements that they were given For her or however it works these fit pretty good Here's another view where she's not like got her leg popped out So again, maybe a little bit of extra fabric under here, which is what I was This is either I think this is pointing to the inner thigh. Honestly, like I think there's just too much fabric there Which is such a specific fitting thing that if they didn't have this chick in their Studio with them to fit it. I mean She's just like any other fit model again. This is drooping just a little bit But for a curved waistband Kind of makes sense. Yeah same issue pointing to the inner thigh But now the waistband is straight across so I don't know And then you do have the little slits on the on the shorts too It's really nice to see so many butts On one model these I mean correct me if I'm wrong. Don't these seem a lot longer too? so So yeah worth a try if you're looking for You know an an adventure In terms of pants and shorts fitting now. This seems totally straight. I don't know Where it's supposed to hit but just keep all the normal things that I say about Pants fitting in mind whenever you're doing this Um, so all of your bottom weights are going to be suitable for this Yep, all of those make perfect sense 8 to 16 and then I think the 16 doubles so it goes 16 to 24 I think is probably how they're doing it We have oh god No bust we have 24 3 inches of ease in the waist See how I mean what I mean about it kind of being a little bit on the roomy side And then the hip has 4 inches no 5 inches So yeah very generous in terms of the fit very relaxed fit You can certainly take those things in once you because really like you're fitting You're really fitting the crotch right the crotch curve depth Length that's what you're really working on here Width does matter especially the hip to waist Grade of it all But that's really it so once you get that figured out then you can you can taper it in you can take it in on the Side you can you know putz around with it a little bit I haven't seen them do a pant or short palm or flesh in a minute All right, so now we have a Mrs. Top With short or long sleeves This is kind of cool loose fitting button front top has princess seams dolman sleeves neck band and shaped him UA has above link above elbow length sleeves with sleeve band UB has long sleeves ending a button cuffs with continuous lap opening Again calling it easy. I don't know. Yeah, this is fun I certainly wouldn't style it this way, but I do love a play on stripes. I'm always going to be a fan of that This one has the little Like mandarin collar. It's not even really like not a stand collar at least flat against your body Um a little bit difficult to sew that especially right here is the trickiest part, but you have these facings with the button plackets Seaming here Is there a pocket there? That would be another pocket here I want the pocket to be here That would be cool And then you can either do these cuffs sleeve, which I love Or you can do the long ones. I love that it's a dolman sleeve. I love that I mean it is long enough to tuck in it is like a tunic. I would I don't wear things that long, but um, you know adjusting for length is not super difficult I actually think extending it a foot and making it into like a dress would also be really cute Yeah, she's loving it Yeah, I love the play on stripes. This is probably some kind of like silk really pretty I want to make sure that these gathers are intentional that they're supposed to be there um, but teased Very lightweight woven usually cotton chambray gauze linen rayon shally Any of your silky types any kind of polyester? And then all you need is buttons Well and interfacing 8 to 16 and then 18 to 26 and this is a very roomy garment so Oh and your bust waist and hip Are all it's like a square This whole thing is a square. So that goes from 43 and a half up to 60 finished um, so they have 12 inches of ease in the In the bust Which also equates to 10 inches in the hip Yeah, very very oversized um Yeah, I guess it depends on your fabric like if you're using chambray. That's not very drapey I'm not going to want 12 inches in the bust But if I'm using rayon shally, that's really drapey and falls in on your body That would be fine So it really depends on fabrication You could size down. I mean you could do as little as six inches in the hip And still get that kind of oversized look that's comfortable when you sit down yada yada yada um So, yeah, if I would Base your sizing off of the largest part of you. So if that is your bust Use the bust if it's your hip like me. I'm a pair. I'm going to use My hip but I do like this and it is Inspiring I do like it. I do like it a lot and yes the gathers are intentional I think it would just be really fun to sew. I also feel like when they did it this way Even in the illustration, um having these run horizontal Maybe there was a missed opportunity with this bottom panel like They did this vertically Which and I think that that's how it's done on your cutting layouts, too But this could have been something else Or if you want to consider like Three colors of like seersucker that would be fun I do feel like this bottom panel. Do you see here how it's separate? There's something to be done with this too to add a little even more interest And maybe even with the collar piece too that's separate I do like it. I do like the I like the short sleeve version Um, okay. So next we have a mrs dress halter style dress I've been saying halter halter halter halter all spring all summer collections Have featured at least one halter top. I've been seeing it a lot and ready to wear um Yeah, it's definitely back. Okay halter style dress has lining fully interface bodice with boning Princess seams invisible back zippers side seam pockets and button closure on back of neck view a has slim skirt VV has flared skirt with flounce if you saw this Description on the vogue website. You wouldn't think twice about it This is very very couture finished for a butteric pattern 8 to 16 and 18 to 26 The idea that this has the boning here, which is going to keep you from tugging on this. I mean, yes, this keeps it up But even still this can droop down sometimes, you know what I mean? I still still see people tugging on this So yeah, a very familiar design to me and elder millennial um This might be a little long Like maybe around here is her waist But you have the circle skirt with a flounce. I absolutely love a flounce skirt or you have the pencil skirt With the side seam pockets on both and then this is your detail in the back We're going to zip it up to here and then this gets button closure I kind of wish that were hook and bar, but easy enough to trade that out Yeah, it's really pretty summer event dress for sure Yeah, the lines wrongs are super cute Okay fabric recommendations are chambray cotton satin gingham linen blends sear sucker So yeah, they're giving you all of the summertime like midway woven situation but Like this version here, you could also do out of ponti. You could also do out of um, they do suggest satin actually So satin would be great for something like this, especially if that's a little bit of stretch Um any stretch woven would be nice for this version Uh, this one you could also take into like the holidays and do like brocade or something like that. So um Try and think of this not just as a summer dress And you might find yourself liking it more than because for I guess for me It's a little bit fancy for summer right like I'm not going to weddings. I'm not going to garden parties That's just not my lifestyle, but it is Not too dressy for some of the winter events. I would possibly attend um So that's why I kind of try and think of it outside the seasons, especially when it comes to fabrication all right, so an invisible zipper You're boning and then Two buttons if you've never done boning before it is so simple You're really just kind of making a casing and you're sliding this like Plastic stuff up into it and that's it. You just suck. It's really really not intimidating at all or it shouldn't be Um finished. Okay. So the ease on this it's close fitting right? I mean, maybe not the hip for this but everywhere else it should be like one or two inches of of ease um, and it looks like for the bust We have three and a half inches of ease. No No, that's too much and then the waist we have two. Okay, that makes sense and then the hip of the close fitting skirt a We have three and a half. Okay, that makes sense. I think the bust is just a little bit um Too much ease and I'm also kind of shocked. They don't have separate bust cups for this one but easy enough to Adjust the princess seam. It's it's easier to adjust that than it is a darted bodice um For fuller busts It does look really well drafted in terms of like how high this is coming up under here what it looks like under her arm like I am I do feel good about Suggesting this pattern for sure. Yeah, it's really really cute. I'm trying to think maybe like I think this part here is what's throwing me for summer because that feels very like Like it would be really hot even in the nighttime Maybe that's the only reason why I'm thinking this doesn't feel like summer to me But that's my really my only critique is the seasonality of it and that's not even really a critique. That's just an opinion Okay, now we have okay a women's knit dress by palmer plush and the mrs version two so This might be the first palmer plush women's pattern. I've ever seen If not definitely one of the few That have ever existed Knit dresses and three lengths have v-neck and wide waistband with gathers on bodice and skirt view a sleeveless B and c have three-quarter sleeves okay, wow an interesting little neckline here, right like it's almost kind of like a cowl but not Comes into this little like pointed thing here You do have this waistband that hits under bust. You can see it really well here With gathers for the bust and then gathers underneath with a little Uh pocket as well Again, the shoulder seam seems really long But look how pretty it is on the sleeveless version So they either rigged this Or Shockingly, there's two separate bodice pieces Which I do not think that that is the case But maybe It is pull or plush after all So maybe there are separates The maxi's super pretty Yeah, this is really interesting. I'd be curious to see kind of how The construction of that I also want to see the back I get that this is being pulled down because she's got her hand in the pocket This one looks fine. You just want to make sure this is you know straight across This blue is stunning on her. Yeah She kind of does look a little bit like a realtor or like a news anchor You know, it's very news anchor blue But still really pretty this ity whatever they're using that drape is just like, oh my god, so good And the print Yeah, I'm not sure I'd call that a three-quarter length sleeve more of a seven eighths but That could again be because it's just being You know, it's so far down her shoulder Yeah, the maxi is so pretty. Here's the back So it is a little bit droopy in the back. Okay Maybe consider shortening the center back also Let me adjust my screen. What is this? I'm That's not a zipper No, it's just a little seam. Okay. Um and on this one Yeah, I just want this to be a little a little bit higher. But that's just me being extra picky Right. I don't want it to do that Because of the line drawings. Yeah, it's straight across Okay, cool design though I don't know how much like the fitting of it all is going to matter on this one I'm sure you'll you'll learn some things especially like full-bust adjustments. Um Maybe even like bicep adjustments But it is a knit. So it is a little forgiving it. So, you know I don't know that I would buy this one for the tissue fitting method necessarily But they are recommending stretch knits such as cotton lycra cotton knit and jersey I mean, I really think you could use any light to midweight Knit on this they're not showing the Stretch percentage, but I think you could absolutely do I ty You could do the bamboo rayons. They would be really lightweight and really drapey Which is, you know, I don't do that over my butt because that's just a little bit too clingy for me, but There is a lot of volume in this skirt um So maybe it wouldn't matter as much, but yeah, you could definitely do a lot of the Identity on air on the side of drapey not necessarily lightweight, but drapey for sure okay, so Finished garment measurements and and terms of the body measurements. The ease is five inches in the bust That's a lot for a knit garment The waist is three. I'm sorry five inches. That's also a lot for a knit garment Huh, I'm just not sure that doesn't look like five inches of ease to me Interesting. I don't know about that Five inches of ease that feels like a lot But the neckline is super cool Yeah, pretty Pretty just just double check that the sizing of it. Maybe size down All right. Now we have the mrs. Version same thing I just want to see if the We'll look at the pictures, but I want to see if the um What am I saying the ease is the same And the shoulder too The shoulder does look the same the slave link looks the same But the slave list version is cut back some so that's pretty This is a cotton jersey. I think so you can you see the difference between the sort of structured quality of this versus the Slinky drapey quality of this which I think is ity Can you see the difference in that? Yeah, hers is kind of drooping down too. So yeah, I think just a little long through here But man that cut of that shoulder is so pretty Yeah, all I want to do is pull this up And I think that that would remove a lot of this too if all of this was going up and over Still not seeing five inches of ease anywhere though. So Let's see So they're showing four and a half on the bust Same for the waist And then the hip is negligible. So one inch Less ease Which still feels like a lot for a neck garment If you wanted for reference You know To make this out of the woven you could do that You would just need to add a zipper. So you would add either on the side seam add a zipper to get in or Cut up the center back add your seam allowances and put a zipper in there I think you could make It out of a woven in your size. No problem But for the knit you'd want to size down, which is just really frustrating maybe butteryx Glock and where they're they're just in general they're Iggy's recommendations are Just more than usual or whatever reason Okay, this is a retro 1950s butteryx play suit midriff blouse shorts and skirt And I feel like of all the pattern companies that do the Vintage reproductions butteryx is always the most Like authentic to the time You know, I mean, it's always like What you see on like mrs. Maisel would wear this in a heartbeat, you know So four piece sports wardrobe sewing pattern carefree separates for summer fun in plaids or provincial prints with trim UA cropped all in one button front scoop neckline Play suit I think oh Wait See this is where it gets confusing Okay, so it is Okay, view a is a play suit View b is a bare midriff top View c is tailored shorts. So if you a atop I don't know. I'm confused now and then view d is a button front skirt. Let's look at this So a is the play suit. What is up with this? What is that b Why do we only have line art for the backs? Okay, okay And then you get the top the shorts and the skirt separate and I'm pretty sure this goes over This as well. That's what it looks like. She's doing This girl here Oh, no, that's the shorts That's her body skin tone Wow, this one's just like I'll just carry my skirt around with me Oh, that's all we get. Okay in terms of photos And we still don't have the front line drawings Huh, okay cotton blark broad cloth poplin prints denim gingham linen pk Sale cloth. Yeah, all of your like structured midweight wopens lightweight interfacing and then interfacing rickrack six buttons interfacing three buttons elastic interfacing and nine buttons The elastic is for b okay okay, um Yeah, one inch of positive ease in the waist The hip for C and d the no the hip for a and c. Yes, that's what I want to see has Four inches of ease. Yeah I want to see this on a human being. Uh, I wish that they just did one little version Just to show us and I guess they think that this is good enough for a front line drawing All I'm really seeing is a dedicated waistband. Maybe a bust dart here Um darts on the waist This is pleated. I think the skirt. I don't know. It's really hard to see what's going on but Could be really really cute Definitely check that in scene She looks really short Okay, we have another vintage pattern. Yeah A halter dress and jacket again from the 50s Open back halter dress has buttoned empire midriff with two-piece bodice that gathers into pleats At neck back and very full skirt the larrow jacket, which are also having a moment right now for what it's worth um Is dart fitted with two button closure at front and all in one sleeve So, yeah, your classic halter top, right an empire under bust Seam creates this like very wide midriff waistband Into this absolutely insanely voluminous skirt And then you can throw this little cutie over top of it if you want to cover your shoulders and your upper back Okay, I guess it's just they don't give line drawings for the front if the pattern cover is illustrated I don't know But similar fabrics for this is the last vintage pattern. They really only had so much to choose from back then Chambray cotton broadcloth crepe fail linen pk shantung tapeta. Yeah, if you want to go into like something a little bit fancier um woven or non-woven interfacing A zipper eight yards of seam binding What are we seam binding? Three buttons And shoulder pads Wow, okay, the dress has half an inch of ease in the bust The waist has one and a half inches So why is the sizing and all of this so much better on this pattern than the modern day ones? Interesting. Okay. I mean, I think that one's a little harder to modernize Um Maybe if like you removed, I don't know At least 50% of the volume in the skirt. All right. Now we have are these new Is this new? I feel like we did we just look at these. I know I can't remember Yeah, this is the spring collection.

So it's just What we've covered already honestly like A strong collection from butteric um, definitely seeing sizing issues throughout so Just get to know your butteric size and forget what it says about anything else um And you should be good Definitely not like the most trendiest collection, but I don't think butteric is trying to be that, you know um Yeah, some really good patterns in here.
