The MT raincoat is interesting and the skirt is coming home with me. Maybe there is a huge market for sleeveless cocktail dresses in winter out there but not for me. At least the necklines are different.Mary Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15374364079006502158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-31893934402380740652014-10-08T18:31:36.488-07:002014-10-08T18:31:36.488-07:00I think they came out with some very pretty dresse...I think they came out with some very pretty dresses but like you and your co-workers, I wear separates 100% of the time and I live in pants.

I didn't notice there weren't any pants though. Probably because I am always disappointed by the fit so I just overlook them now.

I was waiting for some kind of sharp and interesting fitted jacket or blazer - total disappointment. Plus maybe I have been sewing too long but i just see a lot of pattern repeats.

Really bad to put a round patch of color on the midriff and bust! I've been awaiting this release because of Marcy's coat and tunic/top patterns. I love the coat, and will probably make it from a printed denim in my "resource center". The tops are ok, but not really exciting. I'll probably buy the pattern anyway, and use it as a starting point for more creative designs. I agree with you on the dresses. Lots of them. I never wear a dress!Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712003004658269721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-65001439169283546942014-10-07T16:42:37.444-07:002014-10-07T16:42:37.444-07:00Make that red bag in green, and take it to work. ...Make that red bag in green, and take it to work.

My dd is 28 and works in Austin, Tx where her preferred work wear is a sleeveless dress, especially in Austin's 100 degree. But, in winter she likes to wear separates too. Most of these dresses are not work appropriate though. Too dressy. I have to agree about the Betzina blouse, there is no way my chest would look good in this!Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-69322793890341440812014-10-07T09:28:35.486-07:002014-10-07T09:28:35.486-07:00Beautiful fabric, and I like how you used the selv...Beautiful fabric, and I like how you used the selvage on the edge of the jacket.

I scrolled through and then deleted the email as I just wasn't thrilled with anything that I saw. But you were able to shed a little nicer light on a few of the pieces. Somehow I missed Marcy's raincoat. And I do like the purses. I remember the days when the new patterns came out and I couldn't wait to get to the pattern store. It's been quite a while since I've felt that way.

And the last top you show - if that was an attempt at a color blocked designer sweatshirt like what's all the rage right now, um "no"! I had hopes for the ABCD cup suit jacket until I saw it had a peplum. I like the two tunics (9058 and 9059) but afraid they may be too voluminous and maternity looking. The rest seemed too casual or too formal. Still I think there are a few patterns I might get.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02076620222434551530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-31993269876007544002014-10-07T05:41:57.177-07:002014-10-07T05:41:57.177-07:00Your comments are hilarious and oh so on target......Your comments are hilarious and oh so on target...I agree with your summing up and, except for marcy's coat and skirt (the top, IMHO, is too similar to previous designs) and THE PURSE!
