Hint for Tomorrow’s Release!
It’s the last pattern release of our Hollywood Icons theme tomorrow! Is it any surprise that I needed to revisit Edith Head’s work one last time (for the year, anyway 😉). This is a versatile pattern that will satisfy both lovers of all things extra and those who want something for everyday. Any guesses?
In just a month from now, I’ll be announcing our 2026 theme! What’s your prediction? (Bonus points for the wildest answers.)
Xoxo, Gertie

My guesses for the pattern are one of Kim Novak’s dresses from Vertigo or one of Liz Taylor’s from A Place in the Sun. For next year’s theme, I hope it’s something like “Charm Basics” (wardrobe staples that teach/perfect foundational skills) or “You Can Do It!” with a lot of 40s workwear/skirt suit/shirt dress sorts of things that women in factories or land girls might wear. ☺️
My guesses for 2026 are "Charm all over the world" with traditional clothes from other countries or "00-Charm - Bond girls outfits"
My guess for 2026... Burlesque! Do I win for wildest guess?

Would absolutely love it to be Grace Kelly’s mint green Oscar dress!!
All about eve? We haven’t had a Bette Davis yet.
No clue for the new pattern for for 2026 something like vintage casual would be my idea of heaven. I’m not really a glam gowns kinda person so I’m always excited by something a bit more everyday.
I think Charm Couture would be a cool theme for 2026. Different looks that were pioneered by designers like Schiaparelli, Lanvin, Dior, Balmain, and Givenchy throughout the years.
I am so looking forward to learning the 2026 theme! …and every suggestion I read, I’m like, “Yes! That sounds great!” With that said, I’d like “Everyday Charm”. Everyday things to wear! A house dress or an outfit to wear while doing chores at home, something to wear to pick the kids up from school, an errands outfit—something to pop on to wear to the grocery store, something to wear to lunch, another outfit to wear to brunch, the neighborhood party, visiting the parents, hosting a birthday party for the kids, you know… All the “occasions” that aren’t occasions at all!
How about a theme of World Royalty (including Wallace Simpson!) and First Ladies?!
Im guessing the strapless dress with the train from Sabrina 🤞
2026 theme: Bob Mackie does Carol Burnett, starting with the curtain dress 🤣🤣
2026 theme, all Marilyn all the time!
2026 Theme: All Dolly Parton All Year.
For next year, 1940s theme. From dresses to dungarees with blouses. There were so many changes in women's fashion that decade.
I‘d like a 40‘s theme😊 for tomorrow’s release, I don’t really have an idea, but I’m looking forward to it 😊
I like tropical a theme
2026 theme: even more Hollywood icons!
This would be perfect with a sheer bolero, shawl some sheer attachable piece to the top and a fit and flare dress for formal wear and just the dress for less formal occasions
I have some sheer that I have been wanting to use!
Just a thought….Edith was herself an icon……and she designed a lot of her own Oscars dresses…..what if it’s been based on her dress in the picture? 🔍
That would be perfect. I love so many of Edith head designs.
Oooh this looks like EH’s win in…..1951? Are we looking at an “All About Eve” inspired piece?!
This one is from '54 , Sabrina... maybe something more from that movie?
I hope next year is a Worldwide theme. That would show the history of so many different garments. I'd love to see the "Octoberfest" Butterick pattern with the modified front corset look. It is oop and beloved by so many. It could be the German part of that theme. I would like Gertie's take of how to really mix up her patterns with new sewing techniques.
As a Fashion History Nerd, I love that.
No idea for tomorrow’s pattern, but I would really be excited about a 1930’s theme for next year! The 30’s had some amazing silhouettes, beautiful bias cut skirts and dramatic sleeves - not to mention cute sportswear looks. Here’s hoping 🤞🙏😊
I'm totally with you on that
Oh please let it be from White Christmas!
I'm guessing something from Roman Holiday....bc I think that's the Oscar she won for that one....
Bette Davis dress in All about Eve?
I hope so. That dress is fantastic
No idea for tomorrow's release Next year's theme: vintage sportswear
I have no idea on the release, but for next year's theme, a wild guess: "My Husband Died Under Mysterious Circumstances" 🤭
Ooh, I love this! Every pattern could have an ooh lala or sweet and innocent look.
That picture is from 1954, when Edith won the Oscar for Roman Holiday... 🥰
Maybe the lace covered dress from the end of the film?
I have absolutely no idea what tomorrow's release will be, but next year's theme......"things I want to be buried in"??
i have no guess for tomorrow. for next year's theme i'm looking for 40's inspired every day wardrobe - or hawaiian vacation all year round 🌺
No idea! Edith head did so many movies! Can't wait. ❤️
Definitely hoping for the WC Sisters dress. Simple design that can be fancy or plain.
For once i hope 40's and 50's everyday dresses and wardrobe for next years theme. This year has many pretty things, but nothing for everyday use. 🥹
Definitely something from White Christmas. Hoping it's the Sisters dress because I need to see Gertie and Susie doing their best Haynes sisters impression 🤞🏻😁🤞🏻
I feel like they would have a blast with that photo shoot! I'd love to see it.
I think some type of dress that can be an everyday dress and skirt combo but also a dinner or evening dress with pattern changes.
Wildest theme dreams: Charm Pet Glamour! A pattern line so your fabulous critters can now match your outfits 😄 (Gotta workshop the name though...) 😅
It's gotta be White Christmas related! At some point, can we have a pair of hot pants like the dancers in rehearsals wear?
It has to be white Christmas based i can't think it would be anything else xx
Ohhhhhhh gonna be good!
I think it’ll be the lace dress from The Roman Holiday! 😍👀
I think we got that this year as an instructional in the magazine and a podcast
i still think it’s the blue haynes sisters dress 🩵
Same. The neckline/collar is one that pops up in multiple places throughout the film, and could be glam or day to day
