Hint for Tomorrow's Release!
Hello lovelies!
January 1st is almost here and I'm super excited to tease you with a bit of next year's Patreon theme and our first pattern of the year. This Anne Fogarty look from the '50s is one that's been on my mood board!
The pattern is a classic representation of our new theme, and it's a super versatile number that can be made in many different fabrics for many different looks.
Leave your guesses below for the new theme or the pattern. Whatever could it be?
xoxo,
Gertie

Anyone else got the F5 button glued to their finger? 😄
ooo i like the banner, cute theme! Look how cute Suzie is!! Well done Miss Gertie!
EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!
When ??
Ooh designer sportswear...
Would love to see some peplums this year. Maybe in some jackets and wiggle skirts
Ohh I would love to get such a dress. <3
Whatever it will be, it will be stunning. Not all thé pieces light ne my cup of tea but they Are Always 1st class
I'm happy for a mix and match year with separates to blend with all the Patreon/Charm staples already in my collection. Bring on 2024
I just want to know what it's going to be,
Paper Doll Dress❤️
I’m thinking Charm school or Design school! Maybe a focus on a designer each month? Either way, I’m excited for the new theme. I’m hoping for this beautiful outfit and learning more about vintage clothes and more professional techniques!
Jumper/pinnafore.
I don’t care I’m just excited 😆
Preppy Gertie Coed!
Ooh I bet it's a fashion designing theme! Like a capsule wardrobe or several choose your own adventure pieces that are interchangeable!
This is beautiful! Turn it into a halter look for summer
Very classic! Loving the shape of the top. At first, I just saw the skirt, scrolled up but was thinking Audrey Hepburn.
This inspo pic is beautiful and so inspiring. I’m so excited for the new theme!!
I’m never good at guessing, but I love love love this hint.
Vintage, extremely feminine casual / sportswear?
Oh I'm having serious flashbacks to being a wee girl watching I Love Lucy reruns!!! Looks amazing
If it was this exact dress I would lose my mind!
I'd reallllllyyyy love that exact dress!
Wow!! I hope we get that exact dress!! For the theme I think Charm School would be awesome! Always looking to improve my skills.
Are we going to design school?
Reading through all of the amazing guesses I am loving the Town&Country and Gertieland ideas
I think this year’s theme is going to be something like Make It Twice with patterns that can look very different depending on fabric and chosen details.
Town and Country look… casual wear?
My prediction is Gertie land like Barbie land Hi Barbie !
I've been watching Poirot and seeing Hercule and Hastings has made me so excited about the "Town and country" wardrobe!
Another good series for that era and type of fashion inspiration is Jeeves and Wooster!
I don’t know! But I’m excited! 😍
P-p-p-piiiinafore?!!! So versatile for the on-the-go gal!!! I’m excited to see what’s ahead! Yaaaaay, Gertie!
Hoping n praying for a jumper skirt sometime soon
My guess would also be capsule wardrobe. It has been hinted several times. Making versatile pieces that can be worn in our everyday lives. This would actually be perfect for me this year because it is exactly what I am looking for! To elevate my look but still be practical and comfortable.
Could the theme be office wear?! Vintage woman at work is my style as a public librarian!
Either Charm School or Gertiewood/Charmland (theme parks) for next year's theme!
Looks like tweed with a kilt-style safety pin...hmm. I'm thinking (dark) academia. I would absolutely love that!
no idea, but this inspo makes me very excited about what’s to come! i’m here for colorblocking and new look and day dresses and equestrian vibes!
I'm def in for the Equestrian!
I'm so in love with this bodice. I've been obsessed with jumpers this fall/winter. 50's are my favorite, so I'm excited to see a 50's style. Capsule wardrobe??
I really love this inspiration pic - I'd love this exact outfit
Elegant, intelligent, dark academic. Smart, beautiful clothing that's wearable and quality! Slow fashion that stands the test of time. Sexy librarian who whips off her glasses at night ;)
Oooh "apron dress" (not like cobbler)
Full skirts and Dior? I can't wait!
This is so cute! Very excited to see whats next!!
If it'd unexpected, expect it...
Oooooh maybe we are all going to a French culinary school like Sabrina 😄 I agree the themes are always so creative it’s probably going to be very unique!
Oh I’m hoping for an academia vibe!
Cottagecore-ish theme?? 😍 either way I’m loving the inspo pic!!!
Gertie has mentioned versatility a few times lately so I'm thinking the theme will be related to that. I think that would be very clever, like what she did with the aurora bodice -both a costumey and an everyday option. Though school/academy could incorporate that too and I love that idea. I also really love this arm/shoulder style so I hope we get something similar for tomorrow's pattern.
I guess that it is something for wovens!! Yeah!!
Elevated day dressing?! 🤞🏻
Countryside charm ❤️
Love love love!!! ❤️ This reminds me of the clothing style of Mad Men and I'm here for all of it. ❤️❤️❤️
Dior couture for the team…for the pattern I would say a Robmanteau ❤️
I don’t know but I was feeling down until I saw this, maybe sewing more this year will be great for my mental health ❤️
Hmmm… maybe an Audrey Hepburn or academia theme?
This immediately makes me think Audrey Hepburn 😍 if this is the hint for the whole theme, it's going to be amazing!
I thought of Audrey Hepburn before anything else on looking at the hint picture. I’d be very happy with an ‘Audrey’s Wardrobe’ theme but I expect it will be something more general than a one person theme.
I'm always at a loss but always excited and here for whatever it could be.
I just want that bodice 😍
I’m so excited!!! Can’t wait…
I can't wait!
Someone on Discord guessed the new theme would be Charm School. A pinafore would go perfectly with that theme.
I was thinking Charm Academy would be a fun theme!
Everyday casual glamour?
Yes yes yes
I looooove this! Really excited for the new theme!
Oooo bc wow..this tease picture is everything! I have no clues! But very excited! Eekkk..
Ekk so excited! Maybe a pinafore to kick off with? 😍
I’m excited, too:)
Whatever ot might be, I'm excited for it.
No idea what the theme is but that photo is extremely encouraging. Classic 50s New Look and not a hint of stretch knit synthetics here 🙌 ! I would love that wool tweed pinafore (jumper) dress as a January pattern, but I know the hint is never that literal.
Please let it be for a woven garment that's not a petticoat. I love classic Charm dresses/bodices! I just read someone thinks the new theme might be a Charm School year.
Ladies we are getting a shirtwaist 🤩
It kind of looks like vintage countryside to me. I can’t think of a good way to put it into words lol
I thought "Town and country magazine" or maybe a travel theme
I’m feeling season capsule wardrobes.
Yes to a capsule wardrobe!
Breakfast at tiffany's theme or Audrey Hepburn theme? 😃
Well, I’m excited! 💝
