Hint for Tomorrow's Release
Hello, lovely!
Our next Charm School pattern release is reminiscent of an iconic silhouette and style, and it offers lots of opportunities for students to get some extra credit by adding their own twist to this classic design. This design is timeless, and spans many decades of fashion!
Whatever could your next school project be? Raise your hand and put your guess into the comments below.
xoxo,
Gertie

Can’t wait 😝
Diane Von Furstenburg!
DVF wrap dress!
a wrap dress would be delightful. I had one I loved from the body shop back in the early '80s. I loved that place, with the beetle doors on the fitting rooms.
The drop waist dress is nice!
It’s exciting
I'm hoping it's not a wrap dress-that's iconic to the 1970s. I was hoping we wouldn't stray later than the 1960s.
With DVF in the pic it’s gotta be a wrap dress!
Bias cut dress
Is it a blazer?
Did she design the outfit she is wearing? A pretty blouse and a line skirt?
Wrap dress is my guess too....
Sundress maybe?
I really just hope it’s not a drop waist. I’d love a wrap dress!!!!
WRAP DRESS WRAP DRESS WRAP DRESS
I hope!! 😍
I squealed in anticipation! I love DVF! I found one of her vintage dresses back in 2013 and left it on the rack at the consignment shop. I'm still kicking myself about that.
Wrap dress Elle Woods style 😍
A DVF wrap dress for sure…. EEEK!!!
I’m going with a woven sun dress
I was thinking a shift dress because that's very classic but a wrap dress makes sense too
The wrap dress was realest 1974 (according to Wikipedia)
I am just hoping with my whole heart that this will be a DVF style wrap dress. I’ve been thinking about making one for a while and I’m so excited.
I've been looking at wrap dresses too, they're so flattering
I was going for the same thing!! My guess is a wrap dress.
I feel like it will be a wrap dress although I've never been too keen on them with my larger bust. Maybe The Charm team will change my mind!
This is giving Dolly Parton 9-5 vibes
DVF did so much more than wrap dresses. I hate when designers get pinholed for one design. I’m hoping for a soft woven slip dress or a single button front a-dress.
I was about to buy Vogue’s DVF but holding out since I know Gertie’s would fit 100x better. Fingers crossed 🤞
Oooh! I'm hoping if it is a wrap dress, that it's going to be a redesign of Gertie's swirl dress from her Jiffy Dresses book with updated cups and sizing!
Also hoping for a wrap dress. Been waiting for one
Maybe a pinafore shift dress? Anothrt something to layer with patsy
Would sooo love a wrap dress😍
A wrap dress would be great, but so would a shirtdress.
I am going to go against the flow and say that I do not think it will be a wrap dress. Two reasons for this: 1. A wrap dress would be too obvious since DVF is in the picture..... and more importantly, 2. She designed so much more than wrap dresses... Either way, VERY excited about tomorrow!
I hope for a 1940s tea dress or wrap dress for wovens, great for springtime <3
Whoohooo! I just cracked open my vintage DVF paper pattern last week and have it in process! I would love an updated (and more user friendly) pattern with size expansion. Wrap dresses are my absolute fav
DVF wrap dress!
Maybe it's a version of a walk away dress? Or something like the vintage wrap dress Simplicity 4474. 🧵🪡💖
I sure hope you’re right because that dress is fantastic!
DVF wrap dress, yeah. Just started making them as I will need dresses without buttons or zipper for after surgery!
I’m going with wrap dress, too. And I’m here for every minute of it!
Hoping for the wrap dress! So timeless and can be made in so many ways. My mother had a purple ruffled version from the late 70’s or early 80’s that I am obsessed with recreating.
Diane in the image. Definitely a wrap dress.
The lady in the picture is Diane Von Furstenberg…so I would say a classic wrap dress!
Wait a minute! I just realized that's DVF in the picture! WAHOOOOO IT'S GOING TO BE A WRAP DRESS! I seeeeeeeeeeriously hope it's a knit, knit wrap dresses are the GREATEST.
Ditto!!
I thought, is that DVF? So, wrap dress. And apparently I'm not wrong 🤣
Interesting- when I saw this photo I didn’t think of a wrap dress, instead I noticed the drop waist. I can’t wait to see what it is!
I love a drop waist!
All I can think is wrap dress, but I live in wrap dresses so if I (and most of the comments) are right then SUPER YAY!
I have a wrap style for knits already, so I hope this would be a wrap for wovens.
I went to a shirt dress, but I'm never correct. I'm sure I'll like, whatever it is.
The scout dress is a shirt dress
A wrap dress would be nice!!!
Definitely a wrap dress/bodice/jacket!🧵🪡💖 ☆☆☆let it be for wovens or knits & wovens!!
Fingers crossed!!!! I dispise knits lol
I was thinking wrap dress and thought I'd be way off, but even if I'm wrong I appear to be in good company!
Wrap dresses flatter every silhouette. I hope you'll do a "picture day" dress and hairstyle this year for Charm 🏫
Oooo I love the picture day idea! 🤩
Ossie Clark/DVF inspired, either a bib style dress or the wrap style ?
Love seeing all the suggestions! Wonder would it be something like what’s in the picture?
Wow, so many things that can be done with a wrap! Add trim, make the fabrics reversible, can be a day dress, sexy long robe. Wrap dress, wrap top, wrap skirt?
Because Vogue just re-released the DVF wrap dress, that was my first thought but I kind of hope it isn't that because I live in a very windy place which makes wrap dresses a bit hard to wear. 😅
That's why I make them faux wraps, as well as for decency.
Gotta be a wrap dress! Soooo excited if it is!
Drop waist, 1930's sexy!
Please please please!!!
OMG A wrap dress would be Devine! 🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏🤞
OMG her wrapped dress shirt would be amazing
I don't mind what it is❤️
NOT ME SCREAMING DVF DVF DVF
*whispers* what's DVF? 👀
I hope for a wrap dress! Or something really sexy for valentines day
I never know! 😂 but everyone is saying a wrap dress and now I’m dying, I love wrap dresses so much 🤩
OMG I would be over the moon for a Gertie version of a DVF wrap dress.
I was dithering on the new DVF pattern but I’ll hang off now!
Oh man, I'd love it to be a wrap dress with guidance on how to make it a bit less cleavage-tastic for the busty ladies
Very eager to see!!!
Please let it me a knit!
I love the DVF wrap dresses so this makes me soooooooo happy!
I know that the DVF wrap dress pattern is all over Instagram right now....
That looks like Diane Von Furstenberg
PLEASE let it be a wrap dress
That woman looks a lot like Diane Von Furstenburg.....
I love a wrap dress! Fingers crossed!
Well since that’s Diane von Furstenburg I would guess a wrap dress.
I think wrap dress! Is that Diane Von Furstenberg?
That is really having a moment right now.
DVF wrap dress?
This reminds me of those laura Ashley type dresses from the 70/80s...im probably way off 😅
Lol I thought the same thing, but I'm never right with these guesses. 🤣
Drop waist dress?
A pinafore dress maybe?? That'd be lovely 😍
I agree but the school uniform is a bit of a pinafore, right?
A wrap dress?
That's my guess, too!
I bet a pleated skirt
I think and hope so too! My god I want one soooo bad!!
