First up, Simplicity has a new Men's pattern out. AND I LOVE IT.
My husband is totally going to be bugging me to make him one. :)
And then there's Simplicity 1040. This is one of those times I have to ask the peanut gallery: "Is there a cultural reference I'm missing?" What's with the hugely oversized steampunk cowls? Is this an anime or video game thing I'm missing? Cause as a general fashion statement it's not doing anything for me.
And finally Simplicity 1033: Misses Day of the Dead Costumes. I didn't realize DOTD was now steampunk. The individual pieces are almost 100% steampunk from the puffed sleeve blouse to the high-low skirts and hoop cage. I'm not wild about the corset really, but whatever. I think this could actually be a pretty versatile pattern to have.
Simplicity have not forgotten that Steampunk dogs need costumes, too! I find it fairly hilarious that this is actually the SECOND steampunk dog costume pattern. I have to say I like the McCall pattern better than this one.
I have a couple neat new McCall's patterns for you, too, and Butterick has yet to release their Fall catalog, so I'm saving those for a second post.
The big cowls are from the video game Assassin's Creed.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was actually pretty sure the white and red robe was Assassin's Creed and nearly said so, but since I've never played any of them, wasn't sure.
DeleteThe steampunk-styled cowl is also reminiscent of a cartoony coachman's greatcoat.
ReplyDeleteI always love your steampunk pattern round-ups, there's some cool stuff out this time!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of Butterick's 3648 pattern? I have read that this isn't a great pattern because the constructions is too modern. Is Simplicity 1039 a better one for a man's tailcoat?
ReplyDeleteThe Red one in 1040 is Vincent from Final Fantasy
