Doctor T Designs

 

I missed the release when these patterns first came out, but I have to say I’m actually pretty excited by a lot of these patterns.  There are a few good everyday wardrobe looks, but the real stand-outs are the lovely gowns and party dresses.  I’ve been able to resist quite a few of the recent pattern releases, but Vogue might be ending my streak.

V1537 – Kay Unger.  Love the style lines on the coat; the dress is fairly simple.

V1536 – Tom and Linda Platt.  Also love this little jacket; dress is again quite basic.

V1538 – Nicola Finetti.  I like the proportions quite a bit in the model photo, but I’m not as excited by the line drawing.  I know the ruffled sleeves have just started to be a thing, but I think I’m sort of over it already.

V1539 – Nicola Finetti. Another one where I like the drama of the model photo, but I’m not inspired by the line drawing.  Interesting to note that the jumpsuit looks very similar in both patterns.

V1535 – Badgley Mischka – Swoon! Adore! Love!  I’m always a fan of the Vogue Designer ball gowns, and this is no exception.

V1534 – Badgley Mischka.  A simple dress, but very effective in the sequin/satin combination.

V1533 – Bellville Sassoon – Another wow moment!  The architectural crumb-catcher piece on the front looks like a challenging bit of construction, but the shape of the skirt is gorgeous.

V1532 – Bellville Sassoon.  Pretty basic dress, but the simple style has a nice, clean effect.  The jeweled cuffs are a nice touch.

V9241 – Kathryn Brenne.  The collar is quite the statement piece.

V1531 – Lialia.  I’m always a sucker for a deep cowl, so this might have to be added to my wishlist.

V1530 – Today’s Fit by Sandra Betzina.  The boxy style is not quite my aesthetic, but there are some interesting details here, including the circular cut-out and the band of color blocking along the side.

V2939 – Custom Fit.  The sleeves are a bit much on this dress, but the basic pattern has some nice lines, and custom cup sizing, which is always great.

V9238 – Very Easy Vogue.  Everyone has been releasing there version of this open shoulder ruffle top, but I have to admit I think Vogue might have nailed the proportions here.  I’m actually considering adding this one to the stash.

V9240 – I’m not in love with the boxy silhouette, but I do like the use of stripes in the sample drawings.

V9237 – A whole lot of meh.

V9236 – Even more meh.

V9246 – Five Easy Pieces.  Nice wardrobe pattern with lots of easy to sew, versatile pieces.

V1540 – Today’s Fit by Sandra Betzina.  The line drawing looks a bit much, but the drape on the model actually looks rather nice.

V9244 – Marcy Tilton.  Love the juxtaposition of the more traditional button-down shirt and the less formal hoodie that is happening here.

V9247 – Lots of long vest patterns here.  Love the versatility of the options.

V9245 – This jumpsuit is a bit pajama-ish.

V9243 – Makes me want to start singing Cuban Pete.

V9242 – A bit much on the volume here.

V9249 – Tafa.  The butterfly embellishments are rather impressive looking.

V9248 – Normally I’m not to interested in the kids outfits, but this little suit is pretty adorable.

And that’s it!  I’m pretty excited by more than a few of these patterns.  What do you all think?  Are you as excited by this release as I am?  Or are these patterns largely passable?  Feel free to discuss in the comments!
