Hint for Tomorrow's Release
Hello, lovely!
Tomorrow's release is inspired by an outfit worn by a true Hollywood icon in a quirky 1940's comedy.
Thanks to a technical slip two weeks ago, you know the name: The Katharine Skirt, and you know it has ruffles.
Can you guess which movie it is from? Have you seen the movie? And, most importantly, where do YOU plan on wearing your Katharine Skirt?
xoxo,
Gertie

I'm not well versed in old Hollywood costumes, so the spoiler spoiled nothing for me, I'm still completely clueless 😄
OH DEXTER, I'M SUCH AN UNHOLY MESS OF A GIRL
Bringing Up Baby? I seem to recall some shenanigans involving a skirt.
Bringing Up Baby?
The Philadelphia Story!!!!!
Oh I didn’t know. I missed that accidental release. But just googled Katherine Hepburn skirt with ruffles. Oh please let it be that polka dot number! Superb
I only just watched The Philadelphia Story and that skirt is iconic… so I hope it’s that one!
SEW EXCITING!!! can’t wait!
Bringing up Baby had a great skirt in it.
If I wear this where I live they'll definitely think I've lost the plot 😅 that's a lot of ruffles on a skirt unless you're going to the Seville Feria de Abril 💃💃💃 I may have to make some office look adaptations 🤔
Never saw the glitch, so pleasantly surprised.
If it’s the ginham skirt with the ruffles I’m going to *die* of gleeeeee 😍😍😍😍
oh i know what it’s from, and i can’t wait! 🤩
I guess I am late to the party....The Philadelphia Story. That sai, Kate is my favourite ever Hollywood movie star, even if what I love most are her more androgine look (she way wearing trousers also in the everyday Life with her relationship with Spencer Tracy she way really Breaking all the rules of the society. I love her so much :-)
The Philadelphia Story 😃
I’m going to wear it anywhere I please, regardless of the occasion, because I’m already envisioning the time and concentration required for hemming all those bias-cut, flared ruffles - no way I’ll spend that time and energy and NOT wear it every where. Groceries? Wearing it. Vet check up for Robert Redford*? Wearing it. The rare evening out? Definitely wearing it! The only time I might not wear it is while cooking, because I’m a slob. *Robert Redford is my big-headed, tiny-eyed pit bull
He might have been friends with that cocker spaniel who lived in my neighbourhood as a kid- Antonio Banderas.
I'm excited!
Ruffle skirt from Philadelphia story but will the mid month release be how to adapt the patsy blouse to make the matching top? I have the exact gingham print in my collection just waiting for a project.
I was thinking more the Marlene blouse, but after looking more I think you’re onto something with the Patsy. It’s *very* similar to the one she wears, it looks like the sleeve ends and the tiny pockets are the only differences.
Since we already know it's almost certainly the gingham number from "The Philadelphia Story" we could try to guess which pattern you'll use to recreate the blouse 😆 Perhaps a long sleeved Marlene?
Gathering some gingham… ☺️
My guess is Philadelphia Story or Bringing Up Baby. Both are great movies. 😍
Please oh please be the gingham one!

I guess it is the skirt from the gingham dress designed by Adrian in Philladelphia Story. Massive ruffles!
Let's guess the Philadelphia Story.
I'm guessing her skirt from a Philadelphia Story....I hope❤️
It's about time I start making something from all the patterns I have collected for the past 5 years. If I can find a suitable fabric from my stash, I will be using the skirt on a regular basis ... 😎
Same... I keep postponing, but me, it's in the hopes of losing weight before I use my good fabric.
Elvira wanted us to know.
What slip? We have NO IDEA what you're talking about, Gertie! 😉😘😉😘
I was actually wondering if you would put out this or be like…”Well, they kinda know already
If it’s the one I think it is and it belongs to a Family, I’m making a Chulapa dress bounding. Chulapa is my city’s (Madrid, Spain) traditional costume dress.
The Philadelphia Story??
I think where will depend on the fabric i end up using. I've made something similar as a casual summer dress, but i had plans to do another in a more fancy fabric for more formal/special occasions too. I'll probably do the charm version instead now, because i find the fit (and finish) is usually better.
Is it the gingham from "The Philadelphia Story", aka the best movie ever made?!?!? ♥️
That is my guess too.
I’ve got a good idea! Can’t wait 🥰
The Philadelphia Story?
The only Katherine Hepburn movie I know is Who Frames Roger Rabbit, and somehow, I don’t think that’s the correct one. 😆😆
I think you might be thinking of Kathleen Turner, Hepburn’s not in that one - but when I read your comment, I was like omg who did she play in that movie?! Then I had to check and was disappointed 😂
