Hint for Tomorrow's Pattern Release
Hello, lovely!
You're in for a treat with tomorrow's Patreon release! You'll actually be getting TWO separate patterns, that can be styled through about 60 years of history (90 years, if you get creative, which I know you will!). Whatever could they be?
Bonus points if you can name this iconic designer they were inspired by! She may be one of the coolest women we are featuring this year, and that's saying a LOT.
xoxo,
Gertie

Wonderful Mary Quant. I went to her exhibition at the V&A in London. She changed everything x
Hi
I love Mary Quant and the sixties x
The V&A have two free downloads for Mary Quant style dresses. I made them both. The classic mini dress can be found here: https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/sew-your-own-mary-quant-style-minidress The iconic 'Georgie' Dress can be found here: https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/sew-your-own-mary-quant-georgie-dress
I just finished Mary Quant’s crazy memoir, excited for today’s release!
Oh we are totally getting a mini skirt aren't we? ❤️❤️
I remember the photo of my Mum dressed in a Quant knock off mini shift dress for her wedding dress so stylish and beautiful 😍
I’m going with minidress/top/tunic, and hot pants.
Mary Quant!
Oooh, maybe something with a dropped waist? That could throw back to the 30’s as well.
Could y'all imagine a PVC Rain Jacket?! How wild! I don't think it's going to be that, but oh how inspiring.
My mum still has her Mary Quant rain jacket - bright orange!!!
Maybe Mary Quant "The Chelsea Look." ? I think that would be so fun to adapt into different era's of style. Can't wait for tomorrow!
Oh god I want a shift dress with boob room SO BAD
Manifesting Mondrian 🤩🤩🤩
Mary Quant!! ❤️
Is it Mary Quant? Xxx
The Mondrian was by YSL, wasn't it? I've got to see how Susie pulls this off. Mary Quant isn't know for full figure designs.
I love Mary Quant.
Could it be something like this? I'm guessing the vest and skirt/dress? are two piece. https://au.pinterest.com/pin/387239267983927208/
Wow, lots of votes for Mary Quant! If it is going to be her, thank you!!! She’s been on my bucket list to sew for a while. Looking forward to tomorrow!
Ooh, Mary Quant! I still have her Daisy doll with outfits somewhere in my closet!
OMG!!! I'm so excited. Mary Quant is one of my favourite designers. I literally just came across an article on the 2020 V&A exhibition and was busily saving all the photos to a Pinterest board for inspiration.
So do not enjoy Mod fashion but keeping an open mind as the Charm team does such a great job with creative and inspiring re-imagining vintage styles.
Hot pants!
Vest and mini skirt combo?
Oh! Mary Quant! So excited!
I think Mary Quant. Maybe pants with a crop top. But then Gertie always does her own spin on things so who knows. Can’t wait :-)
LOVE Mary Quant. I was so spoiled as a kid I had some of her stuff and felt like SUCH a 60’s fashionista!
Aaahhh I was just about to re-make a Mary Quant mini dress!!
I think the designer is Barbara Hulanicki, her designs were very glam!
It's Mary Quant - but I love Barbara (Biba) brand as well. The Society Dress is very Biba.
Mary quant
Kinda obsessed with the vest skirt combinations with the peekaboo tie
Unmistakably Mary Quant. A mini? A Shift?
Since it’s two pieces, I’m guessing the little knit set with the shapeless jewel neck top and the gored mini skirt.
Maybe a high-neck shift dress that could be shortened to a Victorian-style blouse? That would cover many years of fashion history!
Hehe, Mary Quant. So Mini skirts or dresses?
My, my, my, look a little bit deeper into the looking glass. Mary Brooks Pickens. Her famous ONE HOUR DRESS, preceded the SHIFT by, at least 40 years. Forever will she have a place in my heart!
Ooooooh I can't wait!! I love 60s fashion!
Really, I can imagine how it will look on you.
Mary Quant. Should be interesting.
Mary Quant!! I saw a great exhibition of her work in London a few years ago. Exciting to see what tomorrow brings.
Tomorrow will be better than the last one trust me 😄😄
Can't wait to see what you came up with because her designs were not big boob friendly....
Mary Quant
Mary Quant?! We getting Mod this month!
OH Mary Quant ( Bazaar). Maybe a mini skirt and a shift dress?
Mary Quant. Must be something Swinging London
Mary quant! 2 pieces is throwing me for a loop though….im sure I’ll love it though!
