Hint for Tomorrow's Release
Hello, lovely!
Tomorrow's release is one of my dream 1940s-inspired patterns!! It's designed for a fabric with drape and is inspired by (and named after) a true Hollywood Icon.
What do you think it is? Please leave your guesses in the comments, and then check back tomorrow to see if you were right.
xoxo,
Gertie
P.S. Our latest podcast episode is out! It's all about Elizabeth Taylor, caftans, and gender-free fashions (as well as so much more). You can check it out here: https://charmpatterns.com/podcast/

I hope it’s a blouse!!! Or a dress that’s more glam than flowy with too much fabric.
😍😍 Yay
Marlene 😍😍😍
Black velvet suit or fur coats is how I see Madeline Dietrich. Not winter so perhaps a stylish black velvet suit?
Please be a tuxedo, please be a tuxedo (or at least the trousers)
I’m hoping for a tuxedo pattern…a girl can dream!
I so hope it's something like this: https://gatabella.tumblr.com/post/693943118949761025/marlene-dietrich-attending-the-premiere-of-the
Oh, I’d love that as much as a tuxedo. It reminds me of the hooded dress that Little Edie wore (and Drew Barrymore while portraying Little Edie).
Please be a blouse!!!
Would love a 40s style blouse...
I honestly would've guessed something like the Lucille's, but with maybe a wider leg, but I'm definitely thinking it's a blouse too!
I would love high waisted, wide legged trousers in a drapey bottom-weight fabric.
Id love a 40s shirtwaist dress in a flowy fabric with a cute little collar and shoulder pads!
WOW!!! SEW EXCITED FOR TOMORROW 😁🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ooohhh...please tell me its a blouse!!!
I ways think of the classic mac when I think of Marlene Dietrich
https://klimbim2014.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/marlene-dietrich-pink.jpg?w=560&h=887&crop=1 I wouldn’t be upset with a bodice like this!
OMG the bodice and THE SLEEVES !!! Gorgeous 😍
If it wasn’t for the drape comment I would guess a tuxedo-styles jacket.
Marlene Dietrich Blouse
Ok so since Marlene Dietrich is SUCH a androgynous dressing queen.. my guess is either a blouse inspired by menswear or a drapey wide leg trouser! Worn with a black tux coat and top hat of course 🤭🤭🤭 Either way- I’m so excited for next month’s release!
Agree, a silky button down with shoulder pad options!
I'm still hoping for a 40s style blouse with some shoulder action.
Trousers
A silk robe! With shoulder pads!
I so hope it’s a blouse!
I think it might be a long sleeved fitted dress with a long drapy skirt.
I’m thinking a silky drapy, but slightly tailored with shoulder pads and tiny collar blouse with either a slightly pleated skirt that can either be attached to blouse as a dress or worn as a skirt.
Hooray, Marlene Dietrich! <3
1940s anything! 😍
I love her so much! Cannot wait! She is my birthday twin icon.
Maybe a man's shirt styled for a woman like this https://www.rookiemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/14243998420_239d8_5ef16c22_orig.jpg or a jacket to go with the Lucille trousers like this https://seamracer.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/hepburn-and-dietritch-in-pants.jpg. I remember Marlene wearing a pantsuit and beret.
Im thinking that if this is a very drapey fabric like crepe de chin in rayon or silk that its got to be a 40s style dress or blouse. I’m hoping for a floaty silk blouse with cute vintagey details.
Really hoping for a blouse!!
i’m thinking it’s a light robe, or a blouse with options to make it into a robe. we have been asking for a blouse, so maybe this is it.
The queen of androgynous style, I’m thinking maybe a suit jacket? 😍
Oops missed the bit about drapey fabrics! Maybe a blouse?!?
My wish in the survey was Marlene blazer, but I don't think drapy fabric matches that
My guess will be a blouse because we already have robe patterns and the Luciell trousers.
That’s the one and only Marlene Dietrich, autumn is coming so a new „Marlene-Hose“ is just perfect! 😍
Mis clientas Rockabillys estarán muy felices si les hago esta camisa
I'm as far as identifying Marlene Dietrich, although I see I'm not the first, but no guess on the actual pattern yet... I'm sure it will be dreamy, though!
Dolman sleeved bodice with shoulder pads
I simple 40s blouse with collar variations?
I’m so hoping it’s a blouse, maybe menswear inspired, could be Marlene inspired for sure.
Marlene- Pants, suit, a nice blouse you can wear with a suit
Something androgynous maybe!
Maybe some wide legged 40’s style trousers
Lucille trousers are a wide-legged 40s style pant.
Ohhhhh Marlene 😍😍😍
i’ll take any 1940’s pattern, but this is going to be lovely!
Idk, but you had me at 1940s
