Hint for Tomorrow's Release!
Hi everyone! Tomorrow marks the beginning of August, which means the dog days of summer are upon us AND we have a brand new monthly pattern and video for you. I've gone rogue again, and for the first time, I named this design after an amusement park/carnival attraction. This pattern is classic Charm, and it was inspired by a garment I saw on a recent trip to someplace magical.
What are your guesses, Nancy Drews?

I would say some kind of skirt with panels or gores
Dapper dans, carousel, tiki room, the townsfolk outfits. So much to choose from!
When I typed in dapper day + movie, I got the most gorgeous picture of Grace Kelly in a black silhouette style top. Maybe a dress it was a portrait pic. Orh it would fit her charm group perfectly!!
Or the movie carousel with Shirley Jones.
A cape?
A skirt or dress with stenciled painted carousel horses on it
Merry go round/carousel??
That merry go round makes me think of Mary poppins
She said classic Gertie so I hope ever so much that's it a dress worthy of Dapper Day! I'm looking forward to another dress design to make that goes over a petticoat!
Marry Poppins?!
I’m just so excited I can feel something amazing coming!!!!
I hope it's the bubble hem dress with the purple belt she wore to Dapper Day!
Me too! That would be amazing!
Named Carousel or Merry-go-round, but I can't decide if it will be a skirt or sundress.
Mary Poppins Carousel dress
Carousel Day Dress?
🎉 You where right ✅️
I was born and raised in Florida so I have no idea what’s in any park but the Orlando one— which I’ve been to well over 100 times in my life, but just that one. So I’m not even going to try to guess because this seems to be referencing the California park. I’m sure it will be fun though.
I just want Elvis , how rogue Gertie?! 🤣❤️❤️❤️
Can't wait! Just got back from Disney Paris, so I'm happy!
I hope it’s a dress! I need to make a dress this month
Mmmh - a Mary Poppins Lace blouse?
After having a think... I wonder if it's the cummerbund from Gertie's Dapper Day Dress and the Mary Poppins dress. Mary Poppins doesn't really fit this year's theme, but... the cummerbund would, also Gertie mentions in her Dapper Day post on her IG that it's inspired by a dress from Madmen, which does fit in this year them. Just a thought. I may also be overthinking it.
I instantly thought something Mary Poppins-ish also. Then I thought, inspired by Minnie's dress? (It is so Gertie already!)
Mary Poppins!
The Dapper Day dress was just gorgeous. I’d love it to be that. I’d totally forgotten about Patreon release day because I’m completely obsessed with making the Waterfall dress which was my number 1 Charm patterns wish list item and the extra sleeves are the best bonus variation ever. At the beginning of the Artist theme there was a lot that wasn’t really suitable for me, but now I can’t keep up with all the wonderful Charm new patterns.
Well it can't be anything even sligtly copyrighted as far as attraction names go... Personally I'd love carousel CULOTTES since my home park, Disneyland Paris, doesn't let you sit side saddle and crumpling up one's skirt to get on the horses is just horrible. ;)
That's Prince charmings royal carosel... Maybe a jacket?
Also if Gertie doesn't name a men's line "Charming" by Charm, we riot 😂
She used the word “rogue”….something inspired by Star Wars? (“Star Wars Rogue One”)
Carousel dress?
Wow, you where right ✅️
Can’t wait to see it!
Could it be Gertie's Dapper Day Dress?
That's what I was thinking
Oooh. I used to work in Fantasyland at Walt Disney World. Back then (late 80s/early 90s) we wore full tiered skirts with petticoats. Unless we were at Small World and then we had culottes and striped tops with a boater hat! That would be adorable. But unlikely.
Okay, go with me on this theory: We know she attends Dapper Day at Disney; we know there’s a carousel in the picture; it’s inspired by a garment she SAW; and it is classic charm. So I ask you - what is more classic charm than the white dress of Mary Poppins that she wears on the carousel in the Disney film starring Julie Andrews that would have been seen at Dapper Day at Disney?
As awesome as that sounds, Victorian/Edwardian Charm patterns are not quite what I’m picturing lol 😆
Please let it be a carousel theme circle skirt or dress
Oooh, I'm hoping for that one from Dapper Day with the purple ruched waist and giant bow!
Thatcwould be fabulous!
Uh oh, could this be another pattern I’ll want to make before D23 and/or Dapper Day?!?
I think Circus conductor, like poofy shorts, vest boyish kind of :) Tophat even!
Something with a Peter on collar
A horse costume????? :)
I’m going with a take on the infamous Disney panel skirt (I have lady and the tramp in two colours)
50’s Carousel dress
You where right! 🎉
No idea what it is, but I know it will be amazing!
I'm all about classic Charm. Each month you top the next. I'm excited for tomorrow! BTW. Salty and rogue Gertie are my favourite Gertie!
Menswear??? That’s Prince Charming’s Carousel!!!
a carousel set? 🤷🏼♀️ can’t wait to see whatever it is!
Not the biggest Disney fan, but an Early Belle blue pinafore would be pretty cool.
A skirt for the enchanted carousel with some special appliqué techniques??
