Details here.

From the Vogues, I like:

I like the Paco Peralta too but I don't know when I would wear it. I mustn't buy any more patterns

[UttaRetch]

I think wearing both at the same time might be too much, but each separately would work.

Yes I like the top and the longer trousers, I've already got several trouser patterns that are similar.

I quite like the Paco Peralta too but I never wear sleeveless tops so I'd have to convince myself it looked ok with sleeves. Maybe a pattern for the next Vogue sale.

[Holly Berry]

I like the Paco Peralta too, but not sure about the really wide trousers. I think if I made the other pattern, I would make it as a top with the back lower than the front.

I love the idea of the Paco Perlalata pattern but then I do Often find myself drawn to that style. Unfortunately they look good on the tall slim models but not so good on the short squat me

I wear full sleeves even in summer, but I like the top with the long trousers.  There is probably a similar Vogue top with sleeves and at one time, I might have considered this.

I liked that Peralta, but like everyone else, not keen on completely sleeveless OR voluminous trousers.  I think it might look good over  a long but not massively full skirt though, or just as a dress on its own...

I like the sleeves on this Laroche, but the rest is...er...

The rest, typical for summer, is all beach or cocktail party stuff to my eye.  I'll wait for Autumn/winter, much better for our 'temperate' climes

The pattern has been reproduced from Guy Laroche's 2016/2017 Autumn/Winter collection.

I bought this....I want some easy wear woven tops for summer

[Tamnymore]

DF and UR. Yes I wondered about that Laroche pattern. I'd have to lengthen it though if it was to be a dress. Looks much better in the black. Except for wedding dresses, pure white dresses seem to whisper 'Tomato soup, curry, coffee... come spill yourselves on me.....'.
