Hint for Tomorrow's Release!
It's so hard to share this sneak peek without giving everything away! 😘
Tomorrow's pattern release is an updated version of a familiar favorite, and that's all I'm going to say! Put your guesses in the comments, and get ready to sew up this new classic.

Is anyone else looking at their current WIP Barbie dress and wondering if they should have waited? Just me?
I'm staring at my fabric right now...I've waited to see July's pattern before I cut into it.
Size-expanded Barbie top??
I'm guessing and updated b6453 with added charm cup sizing that will be interchangeable with all of the skirts lol, maybe some variable strap options. Which would figure since I already have the old pattern bodice cut out in my pink gingham 😆
OH, and can be matched with the Loretta's or Gingers for the romper look in the trailer!
Please be for a woven fabric! I'm staring at my 5.5yds light pink with white dots fabric which will become my "Barbie summer dress" but I need the perfect pattern so I can start cutting it!
Omggggg exciting
I really hope it is an expanded Jane set
I’m guessing it’s a Patreon update of Gertie’s b6543. The gorgeous sundress.
So many great choices could come from this! All my original ‘fashion doll clothes’ are are the hand sewn ones. I have a fave dress with long coat I’d love to replicate!
Haltered skipper!
Yesterday on the crowd cast she said it was a return to a classic charm silhouette, and the vibe I got was that it was a deep reach back. So maybe the butterick pattern update over a new knit separate?
I bet you're right, knit like the Barbie but with one of the originals.........
On a related note, I really hope we get a men’s cabana set on the 15th!
I hope it's something new and fresh. I'd prefer not to receive a pattern I already own.
I hope it’s an updated Butterick/Simplicity pattern.
Is it an update on the Barbie top? Xxx
barbie swimsuit
I hope it's the scalloped dress!!
Black and white Barbie swim suit
pink plaid beach dress
I’m hoping it’s the Butterick Princess seam dress
It's totally Esther as a black & white iconic Barbie suit 😍
I so hope so!
Omgg I hope it's simplicity 9291!! We get one bodice and bottom for the L series evey year and we haven't gotten a top bodice yet 😍😍😍😍
Barbie expansion inc. skipper curvy sizes 🤞
Squuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeee
Barbie expansion! 😍
I would love a remake of Butterick B6453, with cupsizes !!!! There's this pink and White gingham sundress in the barbie movie, that looks exactly like B6453 !!!!
I think 6453 should be fairly easy to alter. The skirt is just a gathered skirt so you could take any gathered skirt from Gertie patterns and use that. The bodice has princess seams. The front has a middle piece cut on the fold and side piece with princess seam that creates the bust line. I would use one of the Gertie patterns with a similar styled bodice in your size and upgrade the 6453 bodice. The back is one piece with a dart to shape the back. So depending on how much you need to alter it, you can add to the side of both pieces, change the back darts and add some to the back center. On the front add to the front in the middle. If you have another Gertie pattern that is designed similarly you may be able to determine where to add in the center and how to adjust the princess seams. I don't like to alter patterns and I am fortunate that I can usually fit a standard pattern with a 34 bust. However, I have purchased a few vintage patterns that have a smaller bust size and that is what I have done to enlarge them. It takes awhile especially since I don't have to alter often. And I also generally have to make a couple of muslins to get it right, I think 6453 should be fairly easy to alter.
Or could be heart shaped bodice halter playsuit
I'm thinking a bathing suit or some type of halter top
Iconic 1959 Black and white striped swimsuit
Oh please let it be a WOVEN summer dress or a top that can be a sun dress! Maybe a Lamour like something because Gertie said this would be a year of getting back to Charm's roots! I need to make it for the movie premiere!🧵🪡💖
I’m hoping amour in the extended size range 🤞🏻
Halter top
This dress looks similar to Jane which hasn’t had any size updates.
Butterick 6453 with a heart shape back detail xx
Squeee! Can’t wait! The Barbie top updated and it has a halter addition!!
Shift dress hopefully for all those that love the 60s
anything but a bathing suit
Bathing suit!
Barbie Top goes HALTER?!? 😻
Too many possibilities! 😍
Barbie Halter
OMG I'd love it!! Barbie yay
Barbie top expansion!!! Perfect for summer!
My guess and hope too :D :D :D
I second the guess for an updated B6453 /S9291 ! Improved fit in the whole Charm Size and Cup range
Yes!! This was my first thought, too, and I hope we’re right! 🤞
Barbie!!!!! Yes!
Great Gertie just great….. I’m so excited I can’t focus today thinking about what it might be!!!!🥴🥴🥴🤦🏼♀️🤣🤣🤣💁🏼♀️
I bet it's the swimsuit she wore in her magazine
I hope it's B6453...I had such trouble fitting it to myself when I first started sewing, and I haven't made it in a long while because reworking it to fit my postpartum body sounds SO exhausting.
I’m thinking it’s an update to Esther for the iconic Barbie swimsuit
well i said yesterday i wasn’t making anything for the movie, but now it sounds like i might 🩷
Please let it be an Esther option
OMG it has to be an updated b6453/ s9291
Yes! Keeping my fingers crossed!
So excited for this! I’ve been making Barbie inspired looks with your patterns prepping for the movie premiere so very excited!!
Omg if this is the update for the S9291 Barbie gingham dress I will absolutely die in pink bliss 😍
I'm so excited for a barbie bodysuit!
She’s already done this with the skipper dress & bodysuit. They’re interchangeable.
I'm currently making a pink gingham swimsuit inspired by the trailer :D
Even more Barbie/Skipper variations!?!?!? (fingers crossed so hard . . . )
an updated b6453?
Hoping for turning the Barbie top into a shift or full skirted dress!
B6453 with cup sizes in pink gingham - please, please please...
Oooh now this I can get behind
Fit and flare dress version of the Barbie top?
Yes! This, please!!!!
Ooooh is it the B6453??
Oooh I hope so! It’s one of my favourites and getting cups will making fitting even better
I'm hoping for the Barbie striped bathing suit 💗
I’m gonna have to go with something Barbieful!!!
Ohhh Maybe a Barbie Halter Top? Would be super cute with the Claudette
OMG that dress from your old patterns from that other company.. my niece (age 8) and I just ordered pepita plaid fabric in pink, wanna make the dress from the trailer. She's gonna make the necklace for us 🩷
This was my thought and hope!!
Whatever it is, I know it will be a Joyful Summery Creation. I am hoping for a suitcase full of ACCESSORIES!!!!!
Can’t wait to watch the movie
COME ON BARBIE LET'S GO PARTY
New options/expansions to the Barbie Top!?!????? BE STILL, MY HEART!!
I would be thrilled with that
Barbie expansion?
Something to do with Barbie?
So excited!! I know it’s going to be so cute whatever it is ❤️
I’m gonna guess the Barbie striped chevron swimsuit!
I’m already struggling with finding striped fabric. Really hoping the fabric designers are picking up on this.
Barbie Top Update?!
This is gonna be a fun one!
Oh my GOSH I cannot wait!!
