Hint for Tomorrow's Release
Hello, lovely!
Tomorrow's pattern release was inspired by three separate Hollywood icons: Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck, and Ingrid Bergman.
Please leave your guesses in the comments. Whatever could it be? What do you want it to be?
Until tomorrow,
xoxo,
Gertie

This is hilarious... literally every month there was a guess/request for an A-line skirt. Except this month when we get one :-) Gertie finally outsmarted us haha
I was thinking more of a form fitting almost sweater like jacket. Or I probably should say a sweater instead of jacket.
Drumroll...my favorite day of the month!
Ooo any of the Barbara Stanwyck outfits from The Lady Eve. Although Ingrid Bergman has fabulous clothes in Notorious, continuing the Hitchcock theme.
Would love something with a lot of pleats 🤩
A Gertie take on a gorgeous blouse would be amazing!
A stylish dress or jacket with shoulder-pad comes to mind with Joan Crawford being mentioned. Something like a slimline society dress with a v neck and big shoulders
Whatever, I just hope it comes with pockets! <3
My guess is a button up shirt with a collar and a pussy bow and sleeve expansion for the mid month pattern
I am thinking a form fitting knit jacket with shoulder pads and a slim fitting skirt, a pencil skirt.
We already have the final exam blazer in a knit.
I’m still hoping for a classic well fitted button down shirt …:-)
My vote is shoulder pads!!
Barbara Stanwick had some very elegant ad beautiful dresses😃 Maybe it's one of hers???
I think it must be something with shoulder pads, maybe a jacket?
I'd love a defined shoulder knit dress with some Grecian draping.
I hope it's either a shirt or a suit coat with those beautifully powerful 40's shoulders.
Bias cut gown. A girl can hope.
She did tell us we needed drappey fabric with big flowers or motif. And slutty Itialian summer. How do these ladies tie in?
Hopefully something inspired by an Orry-Kelly design...
I'm thinking common designer between the three also. But I know nothing about designers of the day.
I’m thinking about a jacket / suit, Casablanca Bergman
1940’s Pachuca style suit
You could do the lucille trousers with the lady dandy waiscoat and maybe lenghthen the final exam jacket to a mid thigh lenghth
Simple, fitted and well tailored suit.
Fitted suit jacket with shoulder pads to go with Stanwyck skirt for a 40s suit.
I’m really hoping for a perfect tailored suit with a little bit of draping 🤩🤩🤩🤩
They were all Oscar nominated for films in 1944-1945... I love the idea of a drapey blouse with a deep V neck and billowing sleeves, just ripe for a sparkly brooch at the neck or shoulder.
That sounds divine! 💖
If it is a shirt, I hope it has an optional collar button down 🤞
A beautiful suit from their time. I'm obsessed with those suits.
A blazer
Wrapdresss😍
I so want it to be a fitted blouse...
noir icon gorgeous shoulder 1940s dress i can embroider something amazing onto the bodice of? i’ll take it! 😉
My guess is something with shoulder pads. My hope is for a gorgeous blouse
Maybe a 40s suit WITH a blouse? One can dream! 😍
Please just let it be a woven, I've given up on an alternative to the Patsy Blouse.
Something knit?
A pair of pants with pleats and very wide legs.
Wouldn't that be the Lucille Trousers?
I'm hoping for a 1940s blouse! I love the 1930s and 1940s styles and would love to see more of those!
I so want 1940s daytime wear for themed events. A suit would be amazing.
Sharp shouldered skirt suit? 🤔 🤩
DYING WITH EXCITEMENT. I've been DESPERATE for more 40s styles for so long! Strong shoulders! Ruching/gathering details!! Beautiful suits!🎉🎉🎉🙏😩💗
A blouse with shoulder pads please 😮😮😮😮
Definitely a blouse with shoulderpads, 1940's style, that would look great with the Lucille trouser.
I'm hoping for a 40s suit so badly!
1940s blouse, attached to a pair of slacks. So a bloslack! 🥴
Ingrid’s white suit from Casablanca, or Barbara’s suit with soutache from Christmas in Connecticut.
I hope it's a suit jacket!
A structured blouse or jacket???
Something in the stanwyck series?
I hope is something quick I can whip out before Semi 1. I want to wear Swedish inspired to see KAJ.
The 'slutty italian summer' combined with 1940s hints from the crowdcast are still throwing me off...
I mean, Ingrid did have a Slutty Italian Summer (wink, wink), so…
Perhaps some sharp trousers?
Whatever it is, it will be have gigantic shoulders
A ‘40s styled suite or a silk blouse like many of you have already pointed out ☺️
Don't know, but what a lovely combination of stars!
I have no idea, but I’m excited!
A silk blouse with strong shoulders and bishop sleeves
Oh yes, a lovely drapey blouse with strong shoulder design. Or menswear styled for women!
Bow tie blouse?
If it's a suit top that pairs with other skirts I am going to cry. I had the opportunity to wear my grandma's wedding suit from 1947-8 that emulated this, and I long to re-create it
Power suit?
I'm hoping for a bodice with ruching...
I go for a blouse, too
I just image searched all 3 , a more 1940s look and definitely shoulder pads and ruffled sleeves. Guess we just got to keep waiting till tomorrow!
I'm thinking shoulder pads 🤔 I'm very curious - this year's theme is truly a treat 💕
I'm loving this year so far! My husband is going to think I've moved out, all the time I'm planning to spend sewing!
Can’t help but expect strong shoulder pad action 😆
I see shoulder pads in our future 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Blouse! Blouse! Blouse! Blouse!!!!
Gertie, what kind of non-hint is this? Lol
