This bias top (minus the bow) looks to be an awesome basic for a little silk shell.

This dress is lovelier for all the details!!

I'm pretty sure this is a hospital gown, ewwww:

This is quite retro-cute though!

Date: 6/1/12 8:16 AM I couldn't really tell if I liked this dress on the model but I absolutely LOVE it now I've seen it on the dress form.
I also really like some of the flapper dresses (this one in particular) although unfortunately I'm pretty sure that shape doesn't suit me.

Date: 6/1/12 8:27 AM There's about 10 I really like and will eventually get around to making.
One of them is a Pippa Middleton dress I liked, although they have the handkerchief hem where hers was straight. |

@Squirrellypoo: the words "bias top" are enough to send me swooning!!! I might have FINALLY found a pattern for these cotton and linen cuts I keep accumulating despite my better judgement.
Love the pleated dress : I hope it's a woven because I have this coral cotton faille and the featured fabric looks similar.
and I just pinned an Alaïa dress that looks a lot like that (or maybe it's the print? whatever!)

Date: 6/1/12 9:58 AM It's nice to get a better look at the garments; some of them look really different here, compared to the photos with the models. I really hope that black dress is for a woven, too.
I didn't see a picture for the coral dress from the earlier previews, though. I was really interested in seeing the bodice more clearly. -- Edited on 6/1/12 10:00 AM -- |

Date: 6/1/12 11:49 AM Wow, this looks like a great issue. Love the "Saturday Night Flapper" 70s / 20s hybrid. There are a ton of really appealing dresses. Looking forward to seeing line drawings. |

Date: 6/1/12 2:28 PM I like the neck on that "hospital gown." Not sure why they used hospitally fabric for that blouse, but I think it would be pretty in the right fabric. I've seen lots of blouses with gathered necklines recently and have discovered they actually look good on me (go figure).

Date: 6/1/12 3:50 PM The bias top appears to have raw edges, which should make it both fast and unusual. I recall an issue a couple of years back when they ran this same pattern in white handkerchief linen. It looked good.
These pants kind of mystify me, though:

Date: 6/1/12 6:54 PM Those trousers really are baffling. Perhaps there are secretly women out there with a pressing desire to show off that particular square inch of skin and/or the underwear they are wearing. I am not among their number, but at least we now know there is a solution for them. ------ http://sewingnovice.blogspot.co.uk/
