See them here.  Deeply average in my opinion.

What is it with pattern companies these days?  Nothing interesting at all - again 

[Ploshkin]

I can't / don't wear wraps, off the shoulder, big sleeves or frills so I'm afraid 'I'm out'

[Acorn]

The bright blue skirt is quite nice when you look at the line drawings - but how odd to show it in a fabric that completely hides the fact that it's 8 gore!

I'm glad to see that all the new patterns are available as PDFs.

[Lizzy777]

Plenty interesting for me 

Yes, same here. I like two of the patterns you mention (Knit dress & crossover top) . I also like a couple of other patterns there too. Wonder when they will be available in the UK?

[Acorn]

They are available as PDFs though, which are presumably available anywhere straight away.

[Francesca]

Oooh I glossed over that! That's great news! I hope they do this for all future releases. The gorgeous dress I was desperate for in the summer only recently landed in the UK and I have no desire to sew it until the weather perks up again. But if they continue to release everything in PDF they'll get a lot more sales out of me.

I've had another look and maybe this



without the clumsy tie.  I think a thin belt would be better.

[Fabric Lover]

I really love this

But i think I may be past having a side split like that these days!

[BrendaP]

If I was young and slim again there are several that I would consider - though lots of them have low necklines and sleeveless/cold shoulder; much more appropriate for summer.

I agree it's good that the .pdf option is there, but I would normally expect to pay less for a .pdf than for the paper version of the same pattern.

[UttaRetch]

Good point @BrendaP since you are using your own ink and paper. 

[Kwaaked]

Well, I found my holiday dress: https://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m7995 gold lame and all, now.

7994 would be good for work if I wanted to mess with tailoring that thing well. 

[snoozi soozi]

@Kwaaked Oooh, get you    I like the look of the sleeveless version, but I bet you'll be going all out with sleeves, ruffles and a big bow?

[Kwaaked]

@snoozi soozi but of course!  No point in making a really wildly ugly dress without all the doo hickeys and dangly bits.

[UttaRetch]

7994 would be good for work if I wanted to mess with tailoring that thing well.

This is a 'learn to sew' pattern, but the back looks bad.
