Vogue Patterns, you have outdone yourselves!!!

I don't usually do reviews of new patterns on my blog because there are other bloggers who do that so well. I just don't see adding my voice since they do such a fabulous job with their reviews. However, I can't help myself this time. I just decided to pop over to McCall.com and see if Vogue had added any new patterns. WELL, THEY HAVE!!!! They are amazingly gorgeous. Just think drape and more drape, knits and more knits. I don't think I have ever been more exciited over a set of new patterns. May I just share some of the beauties that caught my eye.

Vogue 1259

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I think my favorite of the whole bunch.

Vogue 1258

Reminds me a little of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge's style --yes I am a Kate-a-holic.

Vogue 1256

Jaw dropping!!!

Vogue 1253

So elegant!!!

Vogue 1252

The lines of the pattern are not very visible, so here is a line drawing.

Vogue 1254

This reminds me of that Catherine Walker dress Duchess Catherine wore while in Canada

Vogue 8742

Nice ruching.

All I can say about these patterns is, "Come to Mama."

Rachel said...: Gail,
Yes I have seen the What Kate Wore blog. I have been meaning to add it to my blogroll. I hope these Vogue patterns go on sale somewhere soon. I think they are on sale now at Hancock's, but the chances of my Hancock's having the new patterns out is slim.; July 11, 2011 at 8:51 PM

I love te first DKNY jacket and the Rebecca Taylor ruffly neck top... it looks so complicated, though.; July 11, 2011 at 9:02 PM

Jamie - Thrifty Threads said...: Oh, I am loving 1253. It would look stunning in a deep jewel tone, and could so easily be worn with a cardigan for work, or with some sparkly jewelry for a fancier look.; July 12, 2011 at 5:21 AM
Victoria said...: Ooohhh-Lala!!! They have indeed. I'll take all of them please. I'm especially loving the first dress---I'll just call that one the "Mummy dress". I'd love to be all wrapped up in that! LOL!; July 12, 2011 at 8:35 AM
meli88a said...: Oooh. I like your selection. It makes me wish I had a different lifestyle because I think the only ones I could make and wear regularly are the last two... now I'm off to check out the other new Vogues...; July 12, 2011 at 9:04 PM

Sharon said...: I picked all of those also! I can't wait until they are in available in the stores. The "problem" will be trying to decide which to sew first...; July 13, 2011 at 9:11 PM
