A predictable knock-off
Guess what's on the cover of just newly issued Simplicity catalogue :
Yes, a boring knock-off of the Issa's dress Catherine, the now Duchess of Cambridge wore to announce her engagement to Prince William.
I've seen nothing for me in this early autumn collection. To tell you the truth, I found the Jacky O "vintage" suit quite appaling. I don't know who could look sexy in such a matronly boxy jacket.
Never mind, it's not like I am waiting for Simplicity new releases to find something to sew. My sewing wish list is ever growing and the preview of the next issue of Burda Style Magazine or whatever it is called now is quite tempting.
What do you think of that sassy LBD ?
I know these are quite dressy numbers but all depends on your fabric choice.
Back to reality, off I go now and to finish the dress I've been working on for too long.

I have at least two silk chiffons in my fabric collection that I could use to make this top.
Last but not least, the plus size pattern are the best part of this issue as far as I am concerned and I have nothing to complain about that.Back to reality, off I go now and to finish the dress I've been working on for too long.
Merci beaucoup, Marie-Noëlle ! C'est vrai que le podcast représente beaucoup de travail ; mais des commentaires comme les tiens me poussent à continuer.
RépondreSupprimerJe ne suis pas très inspirée non plus par les patrons qui sortent en ce moment... Mais j'aime bien le knock-off de la robe de Kate Middleton, même si c'était très prévisible.
I was surprised at black Burda dress because this outfit seems to same than a previous one in 2006.

You make a great a point about the Simplicity pattern. It will definitely need to be updated but the pieces are awesome and even though I shouldn't I love a boxy jacket.
RépondreSupprimerI get Burdastyle too and it seems the plus tules are the best ones. It's usually the opposite. I wish they made them in all of the sizes.. Burdastyle patterns fit me the best.
