Hint for Tomorrow's Release!
Is it summer yet??? Tomorrow's pattern release will have you dreaming of sunny days at the beach and summer nights on the boardwalk.
With a different fabric choice, this pattern actually makes a great cool-weather item, too! Whatever could it be?
xoxo,
Gertie
P.S. Another hint: it's named after a very glamorous 20th Century designer!

I've already bought fabric for more beach pyjamas this spring! Fingers crossed!
I’m guessing a wrap dress.
Definitely think it's a wrap dress, something she was known for.
I would love that
A linen jumpsuit would be amazing... or one of those fabulously extra evening gowns but I doubt it'll be that :P
Im with you on the jumpsuit, change of fabric and boom ready for winter.
Some version of lobster dress?
How exciting xxx
Elsa is my hero. I hope there'll be a piece in her "shocking pink".
What if the inspiration is a different female designer and the pattern is called Gabrielle??
It would make for 2 red herrings in a row!
This kinda fits the hint https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/an-elsa-schiaparelli-couture-old-rose-silk-faille-48-c-607f988196
That would be amazing!
Oh!! I change my guess, Im convinced its a jumpsuit bottom for the Scout and it will be re-released in the extended size range based on what she posted to IG.
You can already put the Night and Day sleeve options on it, I'm just not sure what else they can do besides change the bottom somehow. And we don't have any button front rompers/jumpsuits - just zipper backs. But I agree, any expansion on the scout is sort of small time and would make more sense as one of the upper tier "hacks". Also, we have way more "top" options than bottom options. We need more choices for the bottom half of a garment in the collection.
Oooohhh!!! Her lobster dress!
Beach pajamas?
I’ve always wanted to make a Schiaparelli circus coat so hoping something inspired by that period.
Schiaparelli Pink! I cannot wait.
Ladies no matter what it is please don't wait to make these beautiful garments "until your thinner"! Make and wear them now! You can always take them in or remake them in the future! Have fun wearing Gertie's patterns now!
I've started living like this and sewing for the body that I have now and it's such a great feeling to make something that fits and is beautiful 😍
Maybe a less full button-down dress that you could make with linen for summer and wool for winter? Think like a 40s sundress
I’m so excited!
Wrap dress!
a beach cover up? whatever it is, i hope it manifests summer. i’m so over the rain and cold!
The met has a Elsa Schiaparelli art history entry on their website. The first garment listed is "Beachwear" that is described at "beach pajamas." https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/156040
OK, now I'm really hoping it's something like this.
Gah! I'm excited. She said if you love the scout dress you'll love the new pattern. I haven't made any of the patters yet but hoping this one inspires me to start!!!
A wrap dress!
SCHIAPARELLI?!?!?! waiting with baited breath for real...
I'm thinking beach jacket/cover up made in sheer fabric or linen that can be a warmer overpiece if made in heavy fabric.
Imagine what idea journals must look like!!! Eeee. I get so much enjoyment guessing and watching the videos. Have nearly finished my first make. Have a shelf full of fabrics for your patterns. I need to just get making!! I keep wanting to lose weight before I cut into these fabrics, but I deserve nice clothes NOW! Lol. Love your work!!!
Im exactly the same, want to lose weight first but have now decided I’m just going to make them and I’ll make them again if I do ever lose weight!! Let’s just make the beautiful things 💕
Wild guess a safari style shirt dress. Gertie mentioned linnen in the crowdcast and andrea said in the magazine she'll be wearing it al summer... what i said wild guess.. (I don't recall a scoutdress hint, but that could fit the theme im thinking off also, expansion maybe )
Maybe some Kind of Coulotte Beach Set? 🤔
That would be so cute!
😍 Elsa Schiaparelli!!!! She is one of my most favorite designers! Loved her collaboration with Salvador Dali especially. Can't wait to see what the next pattern is!
A 30s style topper of some kind. Or wide leg pants.
Yes!! Wide leg but no pleats please LOL
Elsa Schiaparelli
Elsa!!!
It's been summer here in FL for two months!
Fun! But whenever I think of Schiaparelli, my mind goes straight to the surrealist hats. 🤣
I immediately think of the lobster dress 😆
I so hope it's beach pajamas?!!
Beach PJs?!?! Yea!! Super excited. 🤞🏼
Beach pajamas with cute bag?
Schiaparelli inspired 1930's beach pyjamas would be epic
Beach pajamas and the trousers can be great for winter in a heavier weight. 🤞🏻
I love seeing everyone’s guesses
I was pretty positive it might be a jumpsuit/ playsuit ( fingers crossed) with the scout hint ! But now I have no clue, but so excited !!!
Thats what I think too
This could go in so many directions, I am very excited to see what we're getting!
Omg omg omg PLEASE BE 1930s beach pyjamas!!!!
Beach pajamas, maybe?
My thought
eeeeeeeeee!!!! Schiaparelli!!!! I cannot wait to see what this pattern will be!
I'm stumped....beach cover up?
Omg I'm so excited!
Oh I LOVE Schiaparelli!
Uh love her so much! (Icon and not nazi, what a joy)
Omg for every pattern name, I do a "Nazi check" so this comment is sending me.
I'm so hoping that it has some Schiaparelli inspired details or options!
Ooo! Something Schiaparelli inspired?
Not the foggiest idea lol. Look forward to tomorrow 😁
Beach jacket?
Elsa! Can't wait, as ever!
