Hint for Tomorrow's Release
Hello, lovely!
I have been dreaming of releasing tomorrow's pattern for a long time! It's inspired by a standout costume from an under-appreciated movie starring an absolute icon, designed by an underrated designer.
Whatever could it be? Please leave your guesses in the comments, and then check back tomorrow to see if you were right.
xoxo,
Gertie

I'm thinking a long sleeved fitted dress or a glamourous pant suit.
I wouldn't turn my nose up at the blouse she wears under the red jacket . . .
Raincoat
Leaning towards the keyhole dress, but would also like a raincoat as well!
Hoping for the pink Niagara dress
The stand-out outfit has to be the dress with the keyhole if it’s from Niagara as the photo suggests. Just watched the movie after seeing the prompt. Very definitely a stand-out outfit!
I'm hoping it's the keyhole dress. It would be so beautiful in other vibrant colors. But the costume design in that film is exceptional (the blue suit, the red jacket with the white blouse and black skirt, the white suit with the blue top, and the yellow raincoat!), any chosen design will be fantastic.
The blue suit would be stunning!!
For anyone complaining about this being an "old" pattern, please remember that 1. Massive size expansion 2. Gertie gets to own this pattern rights
Such a great call-out!!!
The Bus Stop raincoat? I would love this!
I love the red jacket!
The red dress? If not, the blue suit?
Gotta be that keyhole dress from Niagra…
The slip or the nightgown would be an absolute DREAM. But as long as it’s not that halter dress, I will be happy! The halter dress looks like someone added a high waisted skirt on the “Ta-Ta Towel”.
This is so fun!! I love the anticipation. It can’t be the pink tie/keyhole dress because that’s not under appreciated, right? So… no idea!
I’m just over here giggling because I’m at Niagara Falls today because family is visiting and wanted to see it 😂😂
RAIN JACKET RAIN JACKET
I bought the Pinupgirl Clothing version of the Niagara dress 15 years ago but I have outgrown it. I would die for a pattern! It’s so sexy!
Ooohh!!! Maybe the halter dress with buttons down the front!!!
I expect that spectacular keyhole dress, but would prefer the more everyday portrait collar blouse.
The keyhole dress?? Omg I would die
I’ve had the pink fabric and the Butterick pattern sitting in my sewing room for years. Always hesitant with the ill fit of Big 4. This is what I need to finally bring this dress into my closet!
Manifesting 🤞🏻
I started the Niagara dress from an old Butterick this week
She’s starting to rerelease some of her old Butterwick/Simplicity patterns. The keyhole dress is an old one but to modernize it with cup sizes would be great.
I just know it's something from Niagara! Love this movie
def the keyhole dress done charm style with cup sizes and options! perfect for july!
Please tell me its the red dress from Niagara!!!!
I feel like there are very little chances for it to be the raincoat as it’s very much a summer pattern, but now I’ve seen a costume test shot of the raincoat in Niagara and I really want it 😆!
I’m sure it is the pink Niagara dress. However I would love the blue suit or the black one she tries to escape in
Pink dress by Dorothy Jeakins? Pub shot in front of the falls?
As soon as I saw 👀 the rain coat I didn’t see any faces just heard singing 🎶 singing in the rain only because I want a good rain coat 🧥 😂😂😂
Besides the red dress, I also like the lt. Blue minute wiggle suit, and I think there was also a red dress jacket with an exaggerated collar. Been awhile since I've watched it.
You gave it away!!!! Been looking for this pattern for ages!
Yesssssss!!!!!
Gertie posted about the pink Niagara dress also being screen tested in red back on 2016 so I am guessing she has been thinking about it for awhile. Her original pattern for this dress was simpler.
Omg I would love a raincoat pattern!
Niagara!!! The keyhole dress is pretty standout!
Im gonna say the keyhole dress, at least Im hoping it is!
My favorite movie of hers! I fell in love with Joseph Cotton in Shadow of a Doubt and found Marylin through him in this movie. Then became a huge fan of hers.
Making a raincoat or parka is top of list for me this year, so I am cheering for some kind of outerwear!
The peephole dress!
The red jacket would be cool too
The pink niagara dress... Better for sure than the butterick one... Yes please 😍
Oooo I have fabric for a rain coat that I was going to cut today and use a non Gertie pattern! And then I saw this picture! Will just have to wait until tomorrow just in case! 🤞🤞🤞
I swear if we are finally getting the Niagra dress I'm going to die 🥰🤌🏼
either the pink wiggle dress or the blue suit? or the black suit with the red sweater/jacket?
The red/pink tie front dress looks just like the design she had in the spring issue of Vintage, illustrating ProCreate….. Maybe that was our hint? I’d love a raincoat for some additional techniques though
Can't see the inspo photo...
Ya me neither. Sometimes that happens just on the app but looks like for me both the website and app aren't loading any images which is weird as all other apps are working properly
The hot pink Niagara dress was already done as a Gertie big 4 pattern, so maybe the halter dress?
But sometimes she updates those patterns and makes them better for us <3
The pink column dress with the tie front?!?
I hope it's the Blue/white dress by Rose Loomis in Niagara. It was presented in VBG-issue-9-031525-Digital-Issue.pdf
What if it’s the slip Marilyn wears, like what was teased in the Vintage magazine??
Perfecto
Niagra is one of my absolute favorites of Marilyn's movies. Her entire wardrobe for this movie is flawless! I think Im hoping for either the red short jacket with the interesting lapel shape she wears in 'the longest walk away from camara in history' OR the hot pink dress with the little tie and cutout at the bustline she wears during the 'Kiss Me' song playing at the party. I do recall a previous Gertie pattern from Butterick I think that echos this style, so perhaps it's been given a Gertie update? Honestly tho, ANYTHING inspired by Niagra is going to be my favorite!! <3
Fingers crossed for that pink halter dress!!! I think a raincoat could be fun too though, especially living in FL 😅
Dorothy Jeankins! Red dress please! 🙏 The dress was actually red but the lights of filming make it look pink Either way I'm obsessed and have always wanted to make it.
SONKUCH POSSIBILITIES 😍
The green gown from Rivers of no return??
Desperate to learn to sew with proper raincoat material!
Check out the princess coat Expansion. It talks about rain coat material
I would also love it to be a rain coat
That’s one of my favourite movies, and I love just about everything she wore in it! 🥰
A raincoat is too obvious, but I’m kind of hoping for the hot pink dress she wears at the motor home teenage dance party, OR if it’s not actually a Marilyn dress but one from the movie, I love the sporty skirt-shorts-top that Jean Peters wears in the boat scene at the end. Everything in the movie is amazing.
Oooooh! Are we getting something inspired by Marilyn’s yellow rain coat by William Travilla
Searching for the movie Niagara, because I grew up under a rock!
Rain coat?
I am guessing the keyhole dress, but how I wish it were one of the suits!
If it’s Niagra it will be AWESOME!!!!!
If it’s the pink Niagara dress 😍
The red dress with the tie front in Niagara?
Wracking my brain on what beautiful dresses were in Niagra. This is going to throw all my week sewing plans out the window, I just know it
Oh! If it would be a raincoat 🫣🤩
The Niagra Keyhole dress!!!
We saw that design Gertie.
Oh what if its a classic yellow rain coat bc that would be such a fun way to learn some new techniques and working with waterproof materials!
The pink Niagara dress?
