Hint for Tomorrow's Release
Hello, lovely!
I've dropped so many hints about tomorrow's pattern, I'll be surprised if you don't all know what it is already!
This pattern is . . . absolutely perfect. And I know you're going to love it! ;)
Please leave your guesses in the comments for the sewing pattern, the Hollywood icon who inspired it, and/or the movie that started it all.
Until tomorrow,
xoxo,
Gertie

I want it to be Katherine Hepburn’s ballgown in Philadelphia Story
Something like this set would be awesome https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1MNddzM7qg/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Black and white dress from Rear Window?
😍💖🥰
Sure to hade a tiny waist when I google images of her designs.
Edith head… if we didn’t always have one I’d say a cape
Anything to do with Edith will be perfection 💕
Hmmmm maybe the black and white halter/pants with split overskirt? But gosh I'd love a classic crisp white shirt.
This is what I'm really really hoping for!
The blue dress from To Catch a Thief would be wonderful
I would love any of the outfits that Grace Kelly wore in Rear Window. I love that movie!
I want all of them!!!
If we don't get a proper Grace Kelly silhouette soon, I WILL EXPIRE.
I'm terrible at guessing. Always a surprise for me! Haha
Same to me! I don’t even try to guess, Gertie never fails!
Anything from To Catch a Thief would be amazing.
Some like it hot dress
Fun fact I learned in Costume History, Edith wore sunglasses so she would know what everything looked like on black and white film. I don't have any guesses that haven't been said, but I just love that story and share it when I can.
I have a book about movie costumes and To Catch a Thief has an episode. I am now researching what it can be.
Oh I’m so hoping that beautiful wrapped blouse from Rear Window cause I NEED that whole outfit
Yes, Jennifer Robinson is right on the money, and it may possibly be a beautiful white crisp blouse made from some luxurious fabric like a linen or a linen cotton blend or cotton challis fabric or something else really exciting!!! or it could be a nice draped dress like Grace Kelly wore in to catch a thief or from rear window, the beautiful black bodice velvet dress???🥰🤪🤪
Gertie shared a post with an image about seeing velvet from one of the recent magazines the other day
A search for this image says it’s Grace Kelly and Edith Head discussing costuming for “To Catch a Thief”, so everyone who mentions that movie, you’re probably on the right track. I wouldn’t mind a classic white shirt like Edith Head’s, though, as it fits the Hollywood theme: Audrey Hepburn had the iconic white shirt with cropped trousers (or without), Marilyn Monroe with jeans and boots in The Misfits, Katharine Hepburn in almost any film, etc.
Fitted bodice x
A lovely crisp white blouse!
I have a giant book on Edith Head from the library, gonna check that out asap!
Grace Kelly, Rear Window black and white dress ( a girl can dream)
🥰
Gertie posted something from the magazine about sewing velvet a few days ago. I think it could be the dress from Rear window with the black velvet bodice
I don't know enough about film history and such to figure it out. But they are clearly looking at something made with broderie anglaise, so I hope it's something that works with that kind of fabric! I have some lovely teal broderie anglaise I would love to make a spring/summer item from!
I hope it's the Paris dress
I thought of that too, but it's so similar to the Peggy bodice White Christmas hack...
OK, I *think* it's going to be something akin to that blouse Edith Head is wearing. I think the hint is that in all the images showing Edith thus far for the new theme year, she's wearing that collared blouse. If I'm right, I already know how I'm gonna style it ❤️
I am an Edith Head fan. She made a name for herself in Hollywood when the dominant designers were men. I would like to have the blouse pattern too.
I mean, it’s got to the be the white gown from To Catch a Thief, right?
I would love for it to be the halter or day dress from Rear Window
It looks like the white dress from To Catch a Thief
Well I must have missed all the hints cause I have no clue! Haha! Anyway, excited about whatever it is!
I don’t recall any hints either.
No idea, so going rogue - halter neck cat suit with full wrap skirt
A draped structured bustier like in "To Catch A Thief" which could be mix and matched with different bottoms. Or the black and white outfit of Grace Kelly in Rear Window.
I’ve clearly not got the hints because apart from the designer being Edith Head I’ve no clue! 😂 🙈
Well we already have a raglan. I think it might be a wrap dress.
There is already a wrap dress from last year.
I'm Jon Snow, I know nothing
Take my like, darn is 😆
I think it’s the raglan blouse 👚
Is the raglan style you’re referring to, the black and white dress in Rear Window? That seems to fit the Hollywood glamorous theme…
