I've looked at all the "Big Four" company Autumn releases and save for an 18" doll handbag pattern that I truly don't need I will be saving a fortune on patterns. There are a few interesting garments but not in styles I should wear or did wear when they would have flattered me.
Sigh, am I alone in growing weary of all the giant flounces on sleeves? I always managed to drag them through my dinner or art project, ruining both garment and other item.
Now Fran, you don't like the shirt that Koos van Den Akker apparently produced from the grave? Admit it; if it were solid it would be a nice basic well drafted little men's shirt. I did like the Julio Cesar jacket, which was very Koos. I looked Julio up and in the past he collaborated with Koos...mystery solved.
