The
latest spring collection of McCall's patterns is up on on the BMV website. Overall, not super impressed by this collection. A lot of voluminous designs, and simple silhouettes. A few interesting styles, but, mostly a lot of misses for me. Let's take a look:
 |
M7121 - Simple design, but makes effective use of the stripes for a chevron effect. It looks like the sort of pattern that would be easy to put together, but fun to wear. |
 |
M7119 - This wrap dress looks like a fun summer look. |
 |
M7130 - This skirt/dress (it converts) would be a good swimsuit cover up too. |
 |
M7116 - Simple summer dress, not overly excited by this one. |
 |
M7117 - Dress with cup sizing. This is growing on me the more I look at the picture, even though it is a pretty basic dress. |
 |
M7124 - David Tutera. I'm getting a very Glinda from Wicked vibe. |
 |
M7123 - David Tutera. Can't decide how I feel about this. Maybe I've seen so many high-low hems I'm past the point of caring? |
 |
M7122 - Learn to Sew for Fun dress. Pretty basic. |
 |
M7120 - Learn to Sew for Fun dress. Another basic design. |
 |
M7118 - McCall's Easy design. Meh. |
 |
M7115 - McCall's Easy romper. Not really a fan of this one - looks sort of pj-ish. |
 |
M7133 - Melissa Watson. I'm liking the proportions better on this jumpsuit. I think it would look pretty classy in a solid fabric. |
 |
It also comes as a top/culottes. Culottes are officially a thing. |
 |
M7132 - Melissa Watson pattern blocked cardigan. Actually sort of liking this one. |
 |
M7135 - Khaliah Ali. Is this the first time we've seen her pattern with McCall's? |
 |
M7134 - Another Khaliah Ali. I like the use of stripes on the top. |
 |
M7126 - I'm actually sort of liking the shape of this top. I'm actually sort of liking the different shape on the peplum. |
 |
M7127 - Basic from the front... |
 |
...awesome from the back! Really liking this design. |
 |
M7128 - Tunic. Meh. |
 |
M7125 - Another basic top. Another meh. |
 |
M7131 - The pants are so full! I actually want this for a costume idea... |
 |
Culottes - totally a thing this spring! |
 |
M7129 - Learn to Sew for Fun skirt. |
 |
M7140 - Costume pattern. |
 |
M7141 - Schoolgirl costume pattern. |
 |
The exaggerated proportions here look very anime. |
And that's about it. Overall, a bit meh. I do like that cross-over top, and a few of the dress patterns, but nothing here is standing out as a drool-worthy must buy for me. Anyone else finding something super exciting in this collection? Feel free to discuss in the comments!
M7140 will give me a few bad dreams, along with the creepy anime/bay city rollers outfits.
ReplyDeleteBut I do like the cross-back tee.
Khaliah had that scary pattern in the fall release; 7027...
ReplyDeleteI like a few and will likely buy 2 or 3.
