Simplicity has released their latest collection of spring patterns. Overall… meh. A lot of trends were showing up – peplums, cleavage windows, hi-lo hems, and 80s inspired party dresses abound – but I wasn’t seeing a lot of new or innovative styles that were going to be “must buys.” Let’s take a look: First off … More Newsflash: New Simplicity Patterns Announced!
