Anyone?

The black outfits have a look of giant tadpole about them.

@Efemera I was going to post a link to the pink poncho and say I could help you with a pattern for that one.

Now this one I actually think is fabulous. Feel free to disagree...  I'd style it a bit differently but in my climate it's probably more than enough warmth most Autumn and Winter days.

And all kidding aside, @SewRuthieSews recently posted a link elsewhere to a TED talk about Where joy hides and how to find it. They've found that circular shapes, like confetti, or the singular, confetto, or polka dots bring most people joy. That dress is like one big confetto. In pink it might bring a lot of smiles to people.

There were 5 things from the 'Joy' TED talk

- round shapes
- pops of bright colour
- symmetrical shapes
- a sense of abundance/multiplicity
- a feeling of lightness/elevation

So if you purchased an all over (abundance) feather print (lightness) on a fairly brightly coloured background (colour) and made a loose tee out of it you could get 3/5 and it might help the mood.

I think I'd rather have my circles on things than the whole garment be circular, but mayeb this drives the boule coat.

That’s interesting.... I love polka dots but other than that I never go for round shapes... I like square things... square Christmas cakes, square watches ( took me forever to find a square watch) square diamonds!

Wow!  My bright red softshell (all-over feather design on the fabric) is cocoon shaped.  It is also very lightweight for a big, warm waterproof coat.  It's pretty much perfect by that list - everything but symmetry (although the coat itself is symmetrical!)

My black and pink coat (black with pink dots) is also doing pretty well - everything but lightness!

I could see the black one being a useful extra shopping bag at the market.

I have actually made one of these.  Did it in doubled bridal netting and steel boning.  Filled the bottom third of it with wood shavings.

DD wore it to the school fancy dress day as a round tea bag.  They had just come out.  She won too.

Here is the fabric. Look at all those lovely colours. Perhaps this should be our next competition. Who can come up with the best non wearable garment.
