December Sneak Peek!
Hey, Nancy Drews! It's that time again: here's your clue for tomorrow's launch. This gorgeous starlet is the namesake and inspiration for tomorrow's pattern. December's design comes from someone very special, too--so check back tomorrow to find out all the juicy details. What are your guesses?
xoxo,

I Google imaged the key words “Dorothy Dandridge Christmas” and a real cute red dress with an off the shoulder v neck… fitted bodice and flowy skirt popped up. I would not upset if this is the inspiration for a pattern. Also will be happy with whatever it is regardless. Wish list for this season: fancy to the elbow glove pattern, faux fur hand muff, a hunters hat with flaps to pair with a cute long sleeve flannel and Lucille trousers. HAPPY CHARM DAY 💖
A bullet bra, I need that in my life 😁
Love Dorothy Dandridge! Cigarettes pants or an of the shoulder top!
In the lower part of this pics she is wearing pants. 🧐
Cigarette pants pleeease xx
Also hoping for cigarette pants :D
A line skirt
I hope it’s cigarette pants
Cigarette pants would be good, so would a nice holiday dress
Carmen Jones pink scarf dress?! I would die!!!!!
I LOVE that yellow top she wears in some photos. I'm sure whatever you do will be very stylish. I'm still working away at my Landice/Lamour dress & loving the process of boning for the first time. Great content Gertie. I have learnt so much from you & my sewing has really gone to the next level with your demonstration of skills.
Ooohhhh...Dorothy Dandridge! Cigarette pants is a good guess
A cigarette pants
Is it a guest designer ?
Dorothy Dandridge - legend. I’m going with a tight pencil skirt with a front split and ruffle detail a la her role as Carmen…
Dorothy Dandridge!!
Come on cute / fashionable party dress!!!
This is crazy I sent a message to Gerites instagram page back in June with pics of Dandrige because I love Dandridge's outfits that showed off her collar bones!!! Maybe this was in the works already but I feel like she listened to me and IM SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS PATTERN THIS MONTH OMG OMG OMG!!!
I adore Dorothy Dandridge. She had the most incredible style! I can't wait until tomorrow. Somehow, each and every month, you knock it well outta the park! xo
Dorothy Dandridge! I am guessing since there is already a Dorothy pattern, this will be a Dandridge maybe. She wore such beautiful clothes. I can’t wait to see what it is.
I’m hoping for cigarette pants! I’m excited to see the interpretation, Dorthy Dandridge was a fashion icon!
I think it's going to be a expansion top, for a dress which one I don't know?guess I will found out tomorrow 😀
There's that great photo of her from the 1950s in a red dress with a sheer bodice overlay that vibes VERY holiday. Something inspired by that would be perfection.
I'm ready for that Dorothy Dandridge sex appeal! Off the shoulder-movie starlet-where is my martini-glamour!
Well it's wintery time (here in Scotland it is already bloody freezing) and I would fall in love with some top or dress made of WARM wool with HIGH COLLAR neck. Am I close?
A wrap skirt like she wore in Carmen Rose?
Dorothy Dandridge so bound to be glamorous. Perhaps a strapless dress or a wide VN top such as iconic look in Carmen jones. Could be capri pants like the ones in the sneak peak pic too
Yes! I would love a cigarette pant!
A wiggle expansion for the landis? 😍😍😍
I am completely excited! I have no idea what the project is, but ready to see it!
A Melisha design?! So excited no matter what! Team charm never disappoints:)
Would LOVE a collaboration between Charm Patterns and Poison Grrls for a knitted top similar to this one. Gorgeous.
I was thinking the same, especially as Amy has featured in some of Gertie's shoots before! :)
Hello Dorothy
Nooooo idea but very excited!!!
It would be amazing if it was her belted romper. I've seen pictures of it with an over skirt. I've seen her wear it in velvet. It could be pants too.
A hooded aline dress like her pink engagement photos. I'm a super dorothy dandridge fan
Oh I just love that dress. I hope you are right. Her wedding dress was to die for too!
I can see a Stanwyck expansion with the front slit or some top that shows off the shoulders. I'm excited for whatever it will be. I love Dorothy Dandridge!
Dorothy as in an expansion to the dorothy bolero?
Ohhhhh… I like this theory
Ohh Dorothy Dandridge!!!
I looovvee Dorothy Dandridge! So excited!
Off the shoulder something. Like a knit top or a stole pattern!
Little tweed jacket 💙 whatever it is, i’m excited!!
I’m thinking either a bustle add-on to the Bryant, or a wide v-neck top like in “Carmen Jones”
That whole ensemble. The wide v-neck top and the front slit pencil skirt are to die for!
Oh my! Maybe a v neck off the shoulder top? What ever it will be I am so excited
I am guessing a fur shawl cause I have seen several photos of her with one and that would also be Wintery
Maybe an off-shoulder top?
Dorothy Dandridge! What could it be?
Dying for a skirt with kick pleats!
All I know is that it’s going to be full on GLAMOUR!! 🤩
Oh yes 😍 Dorothy Dandridge 🥰
Dying to find out!!!!!
A pencil skirt with a great front slit.
I LOVE Dorothy Dandridge ❤️ ❤️ Excited, as ever!
