Hint for Tomorrow's Release
Hello, lovely!
I am so proud of the pattern we are releasing tomorrow. It's a real summer showstopper!
The design was inspired by an icon of American fashion design, and it involves gathers, pleats, and darts with fabric on the straight grain, crossgrain, and bias.
Whatever could it be?
xoxo,
Gertie

Eep! Is it time for a new pattern already? And it’s Claire McCardell! I’m so happy I joined Patreon this year! I wouldn’t have wanted to miss this!
I really hope whatever it is that it has that Claire McCardell collar with gathers!
Well I hope it isn't a diaper jumper.
I know someone must have complained about the sleeve expansion last month, but...I so fervently hope for some sort of sleeve option. I just prefer to have on sleeves, no matter how hot it is.
OMG! Yes!! Finally! Any! All!
I’m hoping for the “Future” dress but I can’t imagine what an “expansion” for that pattern would be… Based on the large yardage requirements previously stated, I don’t think it’s the Popover…
Or if it’s one of her wrap dresses a matching playsuit would be divine for the expansion 🤞🏽🤞🏽
I live for the sneak peek & I love the comment section on these days!!
I’m praying it’s the Angel Wing Silhouette orange plaid dress! 🙏 You can see it here but you have to scroll a bit - https://fashionillustrationtribe.com/claire-mccardell-fashion-designs/
Omg please let it be that orange dress!
A McCadrell beauty OH YES PLEASE!!!
I would love either the Pop Over or one of Claire McCardell's shirtdress.
I bet it is a shirt dress! Gertie mentioned that in her youth quake crowdcast.
Something with giant pockets in stripe fabric?
I self drafted a popover pattern for my Easter Day Parade dress this spring - it still has room for improvement, so a Gertie pattern would be welcome.
I just saw a drapey, pleat-y, little bit of a mid-drifty number while scrolling through her designs...I wonder. Looks like a real fabric hog, but it's gorgeous.
Exciting! It better have pockets!!
If it’s her sundress, my weekend plans are changing…. 😍
Ooooooh Claire McCardell!!!
Wrap dress, pleeeeeease
Omg whatever it is I'm sure it will be amazing, can't wait to see!!!
I’m guessing the popover dress as well. Pleats in the front, gathers in the back, maybe the pocket or collar on the bias?
Hate living in Europe and having to wait until 5-6 pm to see what it is, I want to get sewing as soon as I wake up. Never ever been more excited in my life ❤️❤️❤️
I literally don't care, because every single pattern is a winner!! ❤️
Woohoo! It’s about time!! I’ve already read her biography.
Claire McCardell!
I have no idea what to guess but I‘m totally excited about it 😍
I'm gonna guess it's the Pop Over by McCardell. Both stylish and practical for the modern day working pinup.
omg this is going to be Good.
I have no clue, but I need a new something! Cleaned out my closet, need something new to sew! Excited!
Omg Claire McCardell?! Holy cow I am so excited!!!
I think its a dress or suit. The description is intriguing.
If it is the Popover by Claire McCardell I am gonna scream until I pass out!!! Been wanting that for ages!
Oh I hope its the wrap dress
Ooh maybe a wrap dress or romper??? I'm excited to see!
Is it going to be a perfect summer dress? I bet it is!!! You were just talking about them on the Crowdcast!
I dont know but im ready
Claire McCardell?! Can’t wait to see it!
I hope it's this one https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/84093
Oh my, a summer dress?
