*unf* Gorgeous!I need a new dress for my department holiday party and this would be perfect. Alas, the party is Sunday the 13th so this pattern wouldnt arrive in time. Maybe next year, though...

Glamour Girl

Could be very chic. But as pictured, only for 20-somethings. For anyone older than that, it needs to be longer. (I dont sew, but Im guessing that those of you who do would know how much more material to buy to lower the hem.)

Nicole

I love the Colette patterns, but I have yet to buy any because they look a bit too advanced for my beginner sewing skills.

Looks very 60s Butterick in style. Could be that special Little Black Dress for the holidays!

Gertie

I was one of the testers for this design, and my version turned out great! Mine is not quite as short as pictured here. I wear it to work with tights and find it completely office-appropriate.

Packrat

For most people, this is a very becoming style. I LOVE it.

This is a nice dress. Just need it a little longer below the knees. Id also prefer long sleeves. I like that tan jacket. and of course like you Erin, I LOVE THE POCKETS!

Nancy Bea Miller

How charming!

Darla: Retro Ways

Her patterns are stunning.Love the colors in that dress and jacket goes together like a dreamDarlaretroways.blogspot.com

Garnet

I adore the jacket pattern. The dress, Im a little meh on. I think its the collar. Its too small and indecisive. Is it a collar, or is it a facing? Whatever. ;PI do however, adore the blouse pattern. Its elegant.Garnet

Theresa

I love all the patterns on her site and will take one of each, please Santa Claus.

Joni

Ooh, I really like the Ceylon. Gorgeous forties styling and... is that a fauxlero I spy? Why yes, it certainly is!

I think all of her patterns look like they are too tight for the models. Like they would be uncomfortable. But thats just me. A little more ease and they are lovely.

Pretty good to watch out. Thanks

Becky O.

I just pre-orderd this and the blouse, plus I have two of her *older* patterns. Love the details and the instructions are wonderful. I am dreaming of what fabric I will use for the dress first....

Nora

Cute! I love how her patterns are named after teas, too. Ive read good things about them on Pattern Review.

tcarole

I love the Ceylon dress even more. I bet that dress would flatter any figure. Thanks for reminding me about this site.

Cookie

I like the design, without the little collar.Inexplicably, everything looks so short to me, recently! Whats wrong with garments JUST above the knee, or even 1/2 below? Short dresses are looking kind of kindergarten-ready to me all of a sudden.

Cookie

Still, I see the version on the right in thin black velvet, with slim 3/4 sleeves added. Length just below the knee, as stated above, and fill in the neckline with a chunky, triple stand of pearls. This is the kind of dress youd want in a few colors....turquoise velvet would be next. Then maroon. Then maybe a rich purple.

Cookie is right. Sometimes short dresses like this can look kindergarten-y (not sexy). The proportion here is all wrong, making the model look chunky.Its not a collar, its an exposed facing.I love me some pockets, but the placement here is unfortunate. They point to her tummy and draw attention to the widest part of the body.Great colors!

Marla

I also love the photo styling. Orange polka dot lining, what could be better??
