vogue pattern's big sale!

guess what, fellow pattern hoarders? vogue is having an online sale on most of their retail patterns! this includes designer, vogue, *and* easy vogue! only 3.99$ each plus shipping is free for orders over 25$. you bet i stocked up on some cute dress patterns. (yes it seems like i only buy dress patterns for some reason).

i usually buy patterns based on difficulty (and um...style). and i usually buy those rated VERY SUPER EASY OMG to kind of easy maybe. but there were some really cute vogue patterns that i just had to get even though they were rated OUT OF YOUR SEWING CAPABILITIES. here they are:


v1102 - andreakatzobjects - yes i would like a giant bow on my back please! probably too much in hot pink linen, no?


v1236 - dkny - super simple! super cute! i wanted it immmmmmediately after seeing it. i'm picturing it in this beautiful swiss dot fabric i saw @ hancock:


it's even more beautiful in person. trust. 


v1224 - tracy reece - yes. ok. say it with me. it's~a~dress. would wear it with leggings anyways. but i swear this is like...at least 3 inches longer than an anna sui design which also purports to be a dress. yeahokay.


v1207 - cynthia steffe - omg i have no words for this dress. just. gorgeous. i know you can't really tell the details on the sleeves because of the fabric, but they are diagonally gathered and again, gorgeous. 


v1190 - tracy reece. i don't like the zigzag fabric, it distracts one from the detailing on the dress. there are many a ruffle on the shoulders. and ruffles = love.

now onto the less exciting (read: non-designer) patterns:


v8630 - very easy vogue - um. i think i have something super similar from mccall's. i like fitted sheaths, and the collars are somewhat interesting. and it's also very easy. i don't need to justify my choices. 


v8552 - very easy vogue - i <3 the giant pockets in view A. i'm kind of sick of the pleated neckline. but i like sack dresses. especially sack dresses with big pockets for...candy bars. sold!

better start hustling or summer will have come and gone without any of these patterns finding a home on me.
