Hint for Tomorrow's Release
Hello, lovely!
I am brimming with inspiration for this year's theme, and tomorrow's pattern release represents a silhouette (and a Hollywood Icon) that is instantly recognizable. To not give too much away, I'll tease you with a designer this icon worked with - mostly in the beginning of her career. This designer will become a BIG talking point throughout the year (how could she not?!).
The pattern is an instant classic. Whatever could it be?
Please leave your guesses in the comments for the sewing pattern, the Hollywood icon, and/or the movie(s) that inspired it.
Until tomorrow,
xoxo,
Gertie

I hope we get lots of Edith Head history in the crowdcast this month!!
Can this pattern be used in the Sabrina embroidered gown?
Since your hint was "beginning of her career," I'm gonna say Audrey Hepburn. "Roman Holiday" or Sabrina inspired? But if it's Sabrina, then it's going to be the "before" clothes, rather than the jazzy suit, the black cocktail dress, or the ballgown with the amazing overskirt...
Coco Chanel🤪
I don’t have a quest, but I will say I went to the Edith Head exhibit when it was in Oklahoma. It as unbelievable! The dresses and info I saw and heard was indescribable. The one little fact that sticks with me, is that she didn’t wear the glasses for her eyesight. She wore them to be able to see what colors and patterns would look like in the black & white films. 😲
Edna from The Incredibles! 😁 No cape!
I wore my drama club cape last night to a special event at Disney and Edna was one of the characters that was out. I HAD to go see here. She was disappointed in the cape but impressed that I made it and that it had pockets 😂
Grace Kelly gown in To Catch a Thief. Black V top and white skirt.
I'm hoping for something Audrey Hepburn! But whatever it is I'm sure it will be fab!
I love Audrey and Sabrina but I’m actually really hoping for one of Grace Kelly’s dresses 😍
My guess is Mae West just because she worked with her early in Edith’s career. If that’s what is meant. Couldn’t figure whether it meant early in Edith’s career or early in the “icon’s” career lol
I had the same thought!
Omg Edith Head and Adrian my two favorite Hollywood classic designers. So excited for tomorrow.
And The oscar goes to… I think it’s that kind of gown
Using the word “brimming” makes me think it’ll be a hat. Maybe from Breakfast at Tiffany’s or To Catch A Thief.
A Sabrina neckline would be super useful, in top or dress.
I don’t care what it is if it’s inspired after Edith Head!
“No capes!” Edna DuMode
Maybe the gorgeous Grace Kelly dress from rear window?
GAGGED
You are so beautiful
EDITH MY QUEEN
Oooh!!! Isn’t that Edith Head???? Awesome!!!
I immediately thought of Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina!
Because the hint suggests early career, I am guessing Dorothy Lamour's sarong.
Is that not what the Lamour dress is?
Y'all had me at Grace Kelly!!! I'd also be thrilled with anything Audrey Hepburn-inspired, of course.
Brimming - could that mean an outfit worn with an iconic hat? I'm hoping it's the green suit Grace Kelly wore in Rear Window. I'd love a pattern for the white halter top.
I’m thinking sarong. I kinda hope not.I’m hoping for maybe something grace Kelly wore.
“Pull yourself togezer! You are Elastigirl! Show him who HE is and remind him who YOU are!” Okay, I know not exactly Edith, but Edna Mode was modeled off of her.
Everything Edith Head is fabulous.
Edith Head it could be anything classy!!! Can't wait!
i sure could use some edith inspired gorgeousness. this cheers me on this grey day! ☁️💖
honestly we could just devote an entire year’s theme to edith head. there are too many wishlist looks to list! i can’t wait for tomorrow’s release just so my head can stop spinning! 💞
Barbara Stanwyck had wonderful clothes on The Lady Eve and in Double Indemnity.
The white dress in Double Indemnity. GODDESS ♥️
Fingers crossed for Grace Kelly! Edith Head was such an icon
https://www.thecut.com/2013/10/30-fantastic-movie-costumes-by-edith-head.html so many good choices!
You are a gem! I was just going to look. Thank you for making it easier.
Anything Edith Head is fabulous!
I'm assuming this is Edith Head 😊
My all time favorite designer!
Anything Grace Kelly wears in To Catch A Thief please😉😉😉💖💖💖
May West - She Done Him Wrong, now that's a silhouette!! And no one guessed it😂
Hoping Edith Head’s design for Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. Love the black dress with pearls, black hat and black sunglasses. Love that outfit.
GRACEKELLYGRACEKELLYGRACEKELLY!!!!! OK, breathe...
Hoping Edith Head accessories is the theme this year … they could coordinate with all of the collections and give the perfect (or as the void says … purrrrrfect) finishing touch
SW❤️❤️NING at the possibilities 😍
Anything inspired by Edith will be stunning!
Edith 😍
Could be something for Mae West
If only we could get a Mae West design!
Please let it be the classic white blouse Audrey Hepburn wore in Roman Holiday!!!
I feel like it matches the shirt Head is wearing in the clue.
I'm thinking something Edith Head designed for Grace Kelly in Rear Window
Oooh I hope it is! ☺️
Grace Kelly? The black shirt she is wearing in „Rear Windows“ would been fantastic!
Any of the 12 costume designs for breakfast at Tiffany’s https://wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Image/IM49755
Oh, this is gonna be good. 😍
I need a new shirt, I secretly hope it is the shirt Audrey Hepburn wears when sailing in Sabrina!! 😅 I love it sooooo much that it is Edith Head! Can't wait 😻😻😻
The black one? Isn't it dreamy
😃I feel my smile widening and my head SWIRLING as I take in all of these possibilities! 😍I LOVE this year’s theme! 🎥
Oooo maybe Natalie Wood, her signature black dress
But one thing we know from this hint . . . NO CAPES!
I'm glad that my brain wasn't the only one that immediately made that reference!
I would love the pink gown from roman holiday.
Instant classic makes me think it's super versatile like Lamour. Definitely makes me think of the Breakfast at Tiffany's dress. AH I'm so excited!!
Oh a hat, PLEASE a hat!! I’ve been wanting to get into vintage hat making for so long
I love the idea that it’s related to “brimming” and it’s the dress Holly Golightly wears to Sing-Sing or the yellow florals from Funny Face - that’s been on my Pinterest board for ages!
She made a beautiful green satin dress for Elizabeth Taylor that would be incredible to re-create. Really excited to see what you've come up with!!
I have that dress saved to my files as well! I’m about 1/2 way to figuring out that pattern! I just need to get my dress form finished so that I can drape the pieces to see how close I am!
Brimming... hat = LBD from Breakfast at Tiffany's or the yellow floral dress from Funny Face. Hopefully a tulle skirt and black top like the design for Grace Kelly in Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. Whatever it is, it'll be fabulous. I just hope I'll have enough free time this year to sew at least 1 project.
I was thinking the same : grace kelly's Black and White dress 🥰
I saw an Edith Head exhibit in Oklahoma City last summer, and it was so beautiful. I can't wait to see this one!
So jealous!!
Omg Edith head, the possibilities are countless,
So excited I can hardly think!! Ah!!!!!
My guess is Audrey Hepburn, no idea which dress tho haha
That was my first thought too!
Oh gosh, I’m feeling like I’m going to fall over! Edith Head is iconic! I’m just going to lay down ahead of time! Can. Not. Wait!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩
I love all these guesses and don’t think I can be disappointed but all I’ve ever wanted is the Rosemary Clooney Love You Didn’t Do Right By Me dress from White Christmas so I’m manifesting!
My dream dress.
Maybe an Audrey Hepburn dresses, she designed??
Could it be a classic white shirt?!
Oooh Edith Head, she’s worked with so many icons… 💖🤔
Brimming makes me think hat
Breakfast at Tiffany's iconic lbd???
Please let it be the ‘All About Eve’ dress!! That neckline!! **swoons**
I’ve been wanting that off-shoulder bodice for the L-Series for so long…
She worked with all the famous Hollywood starlets. Maybe Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly?
She worked with so many beautiful women, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Rita Hayworth..... to name a few. I can't wait to see 😍
Could it be Audrey Hepburn's little black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany's or Grace Kelly's blue chiffon dress in To Catch a Thief??
Edith Head is an impossible hint! There's too much... but All About Eve is one of my favorites with such fabulous costumes. Fingers crossed for inspo from that
Eeeps! Is it the Dior dress from Sabrina?!
I believe Givenchy designed her beautiful dresses.
I am guessing a Dorothy Lamour sarong!
The Paris Dress ❤️❤️❤️
Something from Rear Window. Please and thank you!! 🤩🤩🤩
Can I say the B Word? Because Edith Head was definitely THAT B Word. My levels of excitement have gone through the roof and half way to Gallifrey.
Oh my goodness! 🎉🎉🎉EDITH HEAD!!! Ooooooooo I just can’t wait to find out oh my goodness I can’t wait!
She made a guest appearance on Columbo. ;)
Edith Head! Nice.
Edith Head! It is going to be good.
