I would much rather find out what patterns were used for the senior style lady in Berlin.

Well I like a few of them but then it's been a while since I really did any sewing. Just too much other stuff going on :\

Not a lover of Simplicity. You would think with a name like simplicity they would be simple to use but i have had so many students really struggle with the, often, obscure misleading instructions and pattern pieces that don't match up, i wouldn't give them houseroom.
It's not easy being this perfekt

I have yet to sew Simplicity, although in a moment of madness I bought this - don't like collarless jackets and the high neckline is wrong for my relatively large bust.  All I can say is that I didn't look past the sleeves and the peplum.   New Look is another pattern I haven't tried and probably won't.

Autumn at Simplicity runs the gamut from eh to zzzzzzzz.
It's just fabric. We can out-think it.

All the latest rounds of the patterns has made me want to bring the 60s and 70s back.  Which...I probably will do because I can.

I would love to see some 70's reprint, but this is maybe because I was a teenager and young woman back then.
