McCall's Autumn 2020

[Renegade Sewist]

I like M8144 for possibilities, it could easily turned into a knit dress. It’s really the neckline and the sleeve options that draw me to it.
Everything else leaves me cold and they seem to have forgotten who their customers are.

I loved this one for all the wrong reasons.  It's slouchy, dropped shoulder, goofy sleeves all combine for a sort of disheveled look I find utterly charming. In the right fabric I bet you that would be the most comfortable thing any of us have worn in years.

I see this with silk jogger pants and Adidas shoes, honestly.  Utterly Basic clothing.

The basic was at myself, not at anyone else.  As in, this is the outfit I would wear to go get a spiced pumpkin latte at the country club on a warmish fall day.

Exactly. As comfortable as sweats but much higher up the food chain. I'm thinking emerald green stretch velvet. Silk or rayon if I could find it.

@BrendaP Do you think some of these outfits are made in a hurry?!

I suppose we should be thankful that the bodice and skirt are lined up  :thinking:

The coat certainly looks as if it was made in a hurry from some old fabric that just happened to be lying around.  Another comment from PR is that the coat reminded someone of clerical garb and I can see it now.

I think it's a dress @UttaRetch , the whole lot leaves me cold but thanks for the link.

[UttaRetch]

No @maliw, it's definitely a coat but entirely misconceived.

[maliw]

Yes so it is @UttaRetch, I hadn't read the details

@UttaRetch  - LOL view C that is definitely not a coat by my standards.   Good question about the aubergine - I have no idea if it is an on trend color as I tend to not keep up with the Pantone color thing which seems to me just an attempt to get everyone to dress alike.

@BrendaP  - That is both sad and funny.  Definitely someone missed that pressing mistake.  In sewing class we had a term for a dart that looked like that but best not to use in polite company.  I find that dress to much like a waitress uniform for me.
