Hint for Tomorrow's Release!
Hello, lovely! Oh my goodness, is it really the last day of the month?
I'm so excited to share tomorrow's pattern release with you, I can hardly wait! I've been collecting images of true-vintage examples of this design for years, and I'm delighted we get to offer it to you now. The image above is so dreamy, and it was my main inspiration shot for the photo shoot.
This is an incredibly versatile pattern, and it mix-and-matches with some of your favorites, too!
Whatever could it be???
xoxo,
Gertie

This looks like a fun top! I love making & wearing the full Stanwyck skirt so I'll love an expansion! Yesterday I cut out a Liz (#6 has to be lucky...lol) however I have a feeling I'll be making this pattern too right after my Liz!🧵🪡💖
That sleeve is pretty cool. 😍
I think it’s a sleeve expansion for the stanwyck!
Dirndl! If you hear a rumble that is the cottage core contingent quaking
dirndl for sure 💘
I would LOVE to have any dirndl styled expansion as my sister will get married in june and I was just planning to rearrange the night & day dress as a dirndl style dress ^_^ ... but hopefully a real dirndl and not just some modern fashion dress which everyone calls a dirndl
Back before she had Charm patterns or the Patreon, Gertie was obsessed with dirndl dresses. I'm guessing dirndl separates of some type.
Dindrl is a good guess. I still go with a blouse and statement sleeve.
Hmmmm. The dude looks like Robert Taylor, who was once married to Stanwyck. Hmmmm.
It seems like a drindl top with big sleeves.
From Gertie's Instagram I really think it will be a stanwyck expansion which I'm super excited about. I'm no dirndl expert but isn't a dirndl by definition a skirt made from a rectangle of gathered fabric? I would love that style bodice though.
A true dirndl is not just a skirt. The style of skirt comes from the trachten, or traditional clothing worn in German-speaking parts of Europe, especially Bavaria, where it's still worn as everyday clothing by some Bavarians. In modern days Germans differentiate between dirndl and trachten in that dirndl tend to follow fashion trends and tend to celebrate or emphasize the female body, whereas traditional trachten do not. When I lived in Germany we spent a good amount of time in Bavaria and the older generations tended to wear the trachten while dirndl were more popular with the younger crowd and definitely with the tourists. Dirndl is commonly a blouse with an apron-style dress - often featuring a lace-up bodice, functional or not - which is then worn with an apron. Length varies, as does fabric. It can also be a dress or a dress made to look like a blouse and apron dress combo. I have a linen dirndl dress that is like the latter, while my daughter had a dress-type of dirndl. If you go to the website trachten.de you can see what is current in terms of style.
Drindl and peasant blouse!!!!!! Yowzers!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
Maybe a Joan Crawford inspired blouse?
I always have to look here cause I can never guess anything. Expecting a dirndl since that's what everyone's saying lol.
I find the hints to mostly be extremely vague so I blame that on my lack of guesses
My thoughts are towards the blouse because the picnic skirt is essentially dirndl, is it not?
A dirndl bodice that different bottom styles could be added to (full skirt, pencil skirt, trousers) and the Rita blouse underneath?
well i 💖 all things drndl and peasant, so bring it on!
A dirndl was my first thought and I’m absolutely delighted so many of us are thinking the same way!!!!
It sure looks like a dirndl 😍😍😍
Dirndl, pleeeeeeaasssseeee!!! 😍😍😍
I hope it's a dirndl ❤️
Please please please be a dirndl dress with a blouse as the bonus pattern!
^ this ^ 💗🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻💗
If it’s a dirndle or statement sleeve blouse I will be in heaven.
Dirndl
Also hoping for a dirndl! ❤️
Please please be a dirndl! I’ve been wanting to make one
Omg, if it's a dirndl, I'm gonna scream 😱 wanted to make one for like 2 years at this point!
Fun fact: My grandma used to keep the seam allowances in her dirndls really huge so it can „grow“ with the wearer ☺️ And Dirndl styles vary so much much in the different regions! I love straight necklines on Dirndl, almost like in the square neckline version of the Night&Day dress. Those glitzy sparkly v-neck Dirndl that are sold in Austrian supermarkets are terrible!
Does that look like a Dirndl to you? The blouse looks like it only has loose straps coming over it and not a more fitted part of a dress bodice? I don't personally know, just asking?
Well if it’s a dirndl dress or a huge sleeve blouse it’s a miss for me 2 months in a row 😒 I have no use for either one 😣😣😣
I am sure there will be a bodice that will also look pretty with longer skirts and non-Dirndl fabrics!
Omg is it a drindl? Ooo puffy sleeves for the Stanwyck? Nope that 2nd guess makes no sense…
Plot twist, it's the gentleman's jacket 😂
That would be fab! Based on previous releases, we already have everything we need for a dirndl and a puff sleeve shirt.
It's either the dirndl or the puffy blouse. And either way, I'm here for it.
Omg just when I was planning to make a dirndle style dress for st paddy’s day…!!?!?
I would love a new dirndl pattern!!! I've worn all my others out!!!
That romantic poofy-sleeved blouse?
OMG ARE WE GETTING A DIRNDL WITH UNDERSHIRT SET!? MY HEART LITERALLY JUST SKIPPED A BEAT. I went on a deep dive off your old blog post from years ago and found myself on some beautiful Austrian websites and even made a Dirndl with the Folkwear pattern….but it ended up being way too big even after a mock up and adjustments, so to have a tried and true pattern be Y O U would be a true treasure. I’m probably way off but my fingers are crossed so tight molecules couldn’t even pass through. Low key would be just as excited for a Stanwyck expansion too. Who am I kidding though, I’ll probably be stoked for whatever comes down the pipeline. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 fingers still crossed though 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I litterally thought the same. I want a dirndl
I think my recent binge-read of Gertie’s New Blog for Better Sewing from the earliest days gives me an edge! I know what it is! :D
Same!!
Sleeve expansion perhaps? Can't wait to see!!
That would be fantastic!!!!!!
I'm stuck on the sheer puffy sleeve. No matter what is is, I hope it has a puffy sleeve!! Lol
It's gotta be a dirndl 💕☺️
Something very puffy!? :)
I’m with everyone I hope it’s a Dirndl
Dirndl would be awesome. I am Austrian and it is- even here- impossible to find a pattern in different cup sizes. And the proper presentation of the cleavage us the MOST impirtant thing in a Dirndl!
I make about 6 dirndls a year for our local oktoberfest events and I 100% agree with you on cleavage presentation!!!!
Dirndl or Dirndl blouse?
Please be a dirndl 😍😍😍
Ooooooh please be a dirndl!!
I'm going with the consensus on this and say dirndl!!! Oh please, please, please!!!
screaming!!!
Does the Dirndl include the blouse underneath as I’m thinking that would go with a lot of things
The Rita would work as a blouse I think.
I am also guessing dirndil.
Ooh is it a dirndl type of bodice?! 😍
Okay but I completely LOVE dirndls
I cannot see it properly what she is wearing in the photo…is this a Dirndl dress? 😂
Dirndl???
Oops how did I post twice?
A dirndl!?
Dirndl??
Something in the Stanwyck series, from your IG post?
I hope you're right love the Stanwyck series
