I only wish there were more tailored suits/coats.<br />I hope you'll find more patterns that you like in the next batch, but the ones you highlighted would definitely work, specially the topperTanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-91161107302943301532010-07-24T20:09:06.414-04:002010-07-24T20:09:06.414-04:00Carolyn,

You made a dress with a floral top or bottom (can't remember which, sorry) that had a seam at the waist and it look terrific on you. I actually think that dress is very you.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-78868730264075157152010-07-20T11:50:24.495-04:002010-07-20T11:50:24.495-04:00I've only just had the chance to have a quick ...I've only just had the chance to have a quick look at the new Vogue patterns - I loved that dress pattern as soon as I saw it and definitely plan to order that one.

So, I make it a point to actually look at the different website views for each pattern release because the photos are actually there even if they aren't the "feature" illustration. I really wish Simplicity would take lessons from the BMV website. I can't tell you the last time I bought a Simplicity because it's just so darn irritating to try to look at their patterns online. The Flash crap takes forever to load and I'm on high-speed. (Oops ... mini rant.

There have been a few interesting items I may pick up. Although, given the amount of patterns I have (unsewn), I'm keeping it down to ones I love, or have a high "how did they do that" factor. Like you, the selections the last couple of rounds have made it much easier to not buy. I'm trying to move away from wearing sweatshirts at work, and that cardigan may make the cut.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-42047622487900214312010-07-20T09:09:56.790-04:002010-07-20T09:09:56.790-04:00Carolyn: I liked the inverted front pleats on that...Carolyn: I liked the inverted front pleats on that dress too but I rejected it because of the fitted waist.

The drawings do not represent the garments well, at all. It seems there are a lot of garments with volumous amounts of fabric.

Now that I've had a chance to look at the construction for both outfits, I'm a bit overwhelmed . . . tons of tucks and darts in both patterns!

The dress is very nice, one of only two of the fall Vogues that I really liked. But with temperatures still stalled in the mid-90's, it's hard to think of fall dressing.
