Date: 3/25/11 6:52 AM ooh! I haven't been drawn to Vogues in a while, but I rather like both cowl neck designs (I'm so predictable!), the DKNY dress and the racer back top, though I doubt I'll buy either as both seem to be within my limited pattern drafting skills. :)
I'm also intrigued by how the instructions for the Claire Schaeffer jacket might apply to the trenchcoat I want to sew in the next few months...
Edit: ooh!! I missed it on first glance, but I love the jacket, dress and skirt in this wardrobe pattern (yawn on the trousers though). That one actually *is* going on my wish list! -- Edited on 3/25/11 6:54 AM -- ------ www.fehrtrade.com |

Date: 3/25/11 8:32 AM This Kay Unger dress is like the Adrianna Papell dress several people were discussing last fall. I can't wait to get my hands on the Claire Shaeffer jacket so as to incorporate some of the features in the trench coat I've just started muslining. As usual, I love the DKNY dresses: 1250, 1235, and 1236. There are also several lovely sheath dresses. I probably don't need yet another sheath pattern, but I love the look 8739 |

Date: 3/25/11 8:43 AM Out of all of the patterns, I am most likely to get the Claire Shaeffer. Some of the other patterns are interesting, but I have so many already. I like Claire's patterns because I like to learn from her instructions. |

Date: 3/25/11 8:44 AM I love that they continue to increase the number of multi cup sized patterns!
I've been wanting a pattern like this. It's just like that Lekala pattern. 1241
The DKNY is a definite buy. I have othe cowl neck dresses but the DKNY just fit so nicely and this one only takes 1 1/4 yards of fabric!
I also like 1235
I will probably buy three of the custom fit ones, 8723, 8724, and 8725.
I'm so spoiled with Joann's offering them for $4. I'd be a lot more discriminating if I didn't have that option. ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/ |

LOL, it DOES seem that designers have forgotten about sleeves! My arms are nothing to write home about, but I've succumbed to the sleeveless dress trend. I really like a number of the new designer dresses (Koos, Ralph Rucci, Issey Miyake, DKNY, Guy Laroche & Sandra Betzina) and will be picking them up during the next Club BMV sale. |

Date: 3/25/11 9:05 AM Couldn't you add sleeves to a number of them? That wouldn't be very hard I don't think. ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/ |

I'll settle fo the Marcy Tilton bag. One size fits all, and it will fit over my sleeves. http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8741-products-14179.php?page_id=174 ------ “Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.” -Robert Heinlein and Ann's father.
