Forthcoming Simplicity and New Look patterns

[UttaRetch]

From the US website.  An awful lot is just  but I picked out



and



particularly the floral version as genuinely different.

I like 8691

I've just Googled Simplicity 8691 and found four different patterns.  Why do they keep re-using the same number?

That MimiG dress does not appeal to me at all, but as you said, at least it's different.

You took the words from my mouth and put them into a much nicer sentence. Not a Mimi G fan- something rather off putting about many of her designs for me.

I like the wrap dress but I just can wear them. I do like this..I’m partial to smock styles.

[Bodgeitandscarper]

Interestingly, they have an "athleisure" top that would make a cycle jersey - but raglan sleeves so no good for a sleevelss version that I want now.

  It plays havoc with pattern reviews.  I have seen a garment described as a dress with the acccompanying pattern photo a soft toy.

Not a Mimi G fan- something rather off putting about many of her designs for me.

I'm not a fan of her 'hoochie mama' style, but occasionally she makes a detour and I love the floral version.

Nothing appeals, I've got so many patterns that go back some years that a lot of these are very similar to ones I already own.

Reading through this, the only one I like is the old 8691 shown by @BrendaP at the top of the list - the straight, long-sleeved one with the flounced hem.  Guess I'm just a couple of decades behind the game

That is actually in the "new" collection from the US website!

I must be getting very old fashioned.  I would look silly in any of those.

I cheered up for a moment there, thought 'There's hope yet', then realised that the new one is at the top of the list, a big vintage floral print number. The next one down is the one I meant, the plain red and cream dresses. So I'm officially dead to fashion.

[BrendaP]

That style will come round again in due course - though it wouldn't suit my large tummy. 

[DementedFairy]

All rather meh although I did like the 1930s sleeves, very unusual shapes

[Renegade Sewist]

I liked the sleeves too. I'll probably get that one, on sale, just because.
