The Simplicity website has posted the
Fall/Winter Collection for New Look. Overall it looks like there are some great basics - sheath dresses, pencil skirts, knit tops, and a few coats and jackets for fall.
 |
| I love the simple pleating at the neckline. |
 |
| Nice basic sheath dress pattern (with optional peplums). |
 |
| This could be a cute party dress. |
 |
| Loving the knit shirts! |
 |
| I also really like the detail on the knit shirts in this pattern. |
 |
| A Project Runway jacket pattern. |
 |
| And a Project Runway cape. |
So, overall I think this is a pretty decent collection. However, I also know that I find I have to make the greatest adjustments with New Look patterns, so I don't know if it is worth buying any of the fitted patterns, especially when I am sure I could find something comprable somewhere in my (ever growing) Burda collection. I might go for the knit tops though - fitting issues should be minimized there. Maybe. I hope.
So, what do you all think? Do you love New Look patterns or do you tend to stick with other pattern companies? Did I miss anything good in this release? As always, feel free to discuss in the comments.
I do like New Look patterns - but they're notoriously difficult to come by where I live! Looks like a nice practical but still a bit fun collection :)
ReplyDeleteI never tend to go for NewLook. I think I own one pattern, which I have never sewn. Not sure why, just never clicks enough for me.
ReplyDeleteHi! Nice New Look patterns, but the twist top and dress gave me a double-take. Last June Slapdash Sewist said the twist top phenomena was going out of style, so I mournfully shelved mental twist projects. With toddlers I cannot keep up with fashion trends and rely on blogland. But if New Look is putting one out for fall, alright! Hope it's back and here to stay.
