Colette Patterns Spring/Summer patterns are now available – I die! Sarai asked me to give a mention when the patterns debuted – which I’m delighted to oblige as I’m also an avid pattern tester for Colette. Aren’t they just wonderful?
I had the pleasure of testing out Hazel. Believe me when I tell you that I’m surprised at how easy it is, yet how simply marvelous it looks. I’m especially keen on the striped version. Don’t you just love stripes? Plus there’s pockets and a summer dress just isn’t complete without pockets, I think.
The Iris shorts are so sweet and they look positively wonderful and easy to wear. And is that lining I see peeking out? I do so hope so. The perfect accompaniment for a bike ride through the park.
Last, but definitely not least – Lily! What a great frock for a date with the mister. And, oh me oh my, what is this I see? Why a vent! Now, I can definitely tell you, without any reservation, after revamping vent tutorials, I’m very happy to see this little number on this little dress. Yay! Another thing that makes me rather happy – both dresses, Lily and Hazel can be worn with a regular old bra. That’s big in my book. What about yours?
Friends, these patterns are available today through Colette and will be available soon through A Fashionable Stitch! Excitement abounds – bring on Spring & Summer! What’s your favorite?

Ginger - Oh my gosh, I love all the patterns! I just had a moment of temporary insanity and downloaded the Iris pattern, but I DESPERATELY need the Lily pattern, too!

Becky - I’m most excited about the Iris–I could use a pair or two of well-fitting shorts to go with all of my me-made tops! (Though maybe I should try out the Clover I already have first…)

Seraphinalina - I liked the new patterns too. Being able to wear a bra is totally important to me. I am too busty to go without and the kind of bra that will give enough support to go strapless takes away from the cool and comfortable look of a strapless summer dress.
