Review: Vogue Winter 2022 Sewing Patterns

[@sparkleinco2035]

Must comment that in 1957 I made that dress with overbodice for the prom. Lt blue taffeta on the bottom and something darker blue on the bodice and many many button loops.

Moire (mor-ay) is a water-stained looking older fabric. As someone else said, it is hard to find. It's been used a lot in home dec. Organdie is similar to organza in that it is see-through but organdie is very stiff. It's used a lot to make fancy baby bonnets that have ruffles that stand up or for see through voluminous sleeves. Faille (file) is a heeavier fabric that has a slight texture to it.

[@Hodgepodge31]

I rather like hand stitching - I don't NEED any new garments, so I don't mind taking my time with them. I enjoy doing blind hems and hand overcasting seams. I was surprised to see they hold up in the washing machine and produce a softer, less stiff, seam compared to zig zag stitch or serger

Watching your Pattern Reviews is the best wayy to get back into sewing mode after falling in a stardew valley-gaming hole for months 😄

[@marymary5494]

How do vogue get it so right with some patterns and yet so wrong with others?

[@missdemeanor3524]

Interesting question. I do know there's one man who does all the non-designer patterns for Vogue, so perhaps that increases the probability of either liking everything or liking nothing. I don't know how many assistant designers there are - but I got the feeling that after Vogue Patterns were acquired, he was trying to appease the new owners. As in, the new owners were pretty restrained.

[@susanisherwood5323]

Different pattern makers.

[@Rose-dy4iw]

Moiré is watered silk. The process creates ripple/wave patterns in the silk. It’s very popular historically but I think pretty hard to get now!

[@missdemeanor3524]

That pannier made up in moire could be Old West brothel chic or sexy vampire chic depending on the color used.

[@Rose-dy4iw]

@@missdemeanor3524 both of those ideas are 💯 haha

[@susanisherwood5323]

Haute couture uses inside construction features to maintain shape on outside.

[@evalucilledixon3879]

In my opinion, this collection of Vogue is the best that I have seen. I am racking up a list to buy, buy, buy. Winter 2022 has proven to be a very interesting year in fashion design. More details are popping up. Good for Vogue this year. Thank you, Lindsey. ~ L

[@melindawolfUS]

2:00 Strong agree on bust pocket and button placement. I'm all for it to be higher since I think it helps draw attention to the face when details are focused nearer to. It helps keep clothing looking less like it's "wearing you" according to my retired Vogue fashion designer grandma.

[@karlenwilson2909]

“Claire please!” 😂😂 I think some people like sewing by hand. I don’t have much experience hand sewing 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@raquelseydewitz491]

Vogue 1921 would look great in a brocade and velvet trim for the holidays! Love your reviews I always rewatch them when patterns go on sale to review what I need to look for when shopping. Thanks for sharing

[@vernakg]

Hello from WA.... Love buying patterns and Vogue is a great brand

[@stonecrestquilt]

The Marcy Tilton jackets is it for me. Love these videos you do on new patterns!

[@missdemeanor3524]

Me too; I'm a sucker for anything with a statement collar! This garment is like a dress, a smock, a robe and a jacket combined. The zipper down the front gives it a vintage vibe, and the collar is something else. Those square armholes are cool as hell! I could see making it up in an artistic IKEA cotton canvas fabric and wearing it over black leggings and a black turtleneck top when I feel fat or when I want to look coolly sophisticated without trying too hard.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

My mother wore dresses like V1921 as at-home entertaining dresses. They were like an ‘evening house dress’ or something. Very comfortable and easy to wear when people were over for dessert and coffee on winter evenings and all our Christmas photos show her wearing these. 😊🤎

[@robyn3349]

Thank you! Lots I can see wearing here. I think we could all elevate in that classic, elegant nightgown!

[@maggiesteel6878]

I liked all of the jackets.

[@AllTheHappySquirrels]

That first pair of coats 😍😍😍

[@rhonddalesley]

Oh I love these videos, you crack me up every time, I recently rewatched about a dozen or so trying to find a pattern for a pair of trousers I just knew I’d seen somewhere. I’d try to write how things are pronounced but it’d probably be quicker and easier for you to go and learn French 😂 It’s crappy here in the U.K because we tend to be a season (sometimes two) behind patterns being available here!

[@flowersarefun817]

I love the idea of a fancy house robe! I definitely wanna make that. And the 2 piece off the shoulder knit set is crazy cute. Saw the perfect lounge fabric for it at Joann’s just yesterday.

[@missdemeanor3524]

Nothing more luxurious than a pure silk house robe! (I'm guessing; I don't actually KNOW. But it practically purrs "DAAARLING, I SLEEP ON SILK SHEETS AND A MATTRESS FULL OF MONEY. I SMOKE IN BED WITH A REAL TORTOISE SHELL CIGARETTE HOLDER. I HAVE ONE OF THESE GOWNS IN EVERY COLOR AND A PAIR OF KITTEN-HEELED, MARIBOU-TRIMMED SLIPPERS DIED TO MATCH. "

[@flowersarefun817]

@@missdemeanor3524 haha! Yes that would be super fancy and lux ! I would wear it so often.

[@clarabarton2087]

Thanks Lindsey. I liked 1927, 1928 as a dress, and 1925 without the topstitching.

[@joli43]

The front bottom of the tweed sample double breasted blazer looks little funky? Thank you for this as usual Lindsay.

[@lindaboby6007]

Came across you by accident love your reviews I am from the UK and I love your honest opinions with the timely humour keep going you are great am off to find more of your reviews now

[@InsidetheHem]

Oh excellent! A happy accident. I love those!

[@melindawolfUS]

36:00 ... yeah, it's way too much for me, too. I also feel a little claustrophobic looking at all the straps on the front. And the bows didn't do anything for me

[@sonyasew2]

I love Vogue patterns. I see a lot I will be buying.🎉

[@ladylouise1969]

Love everything up to the Sandra Betzina "Jetson" look! LOL!! I think if I were to make it, I would go with a fabric that had a good amount of drape, and let that collar go!! The "nightgown"-I think they were inferring the term "evening gown"-they used to call evening gowns sometimes that same thing.....Beautiful pattern-the short and the long of it! :+) Claire's dress is lovely, but over the top for the construction! I would have to be in the "zone" for that one!! LOL! Really love the off shoulder bodysuit, but do not care to ever wear one again-wore those enough in the 70's!! LOL-I would just change it to a top if I were to make it... Love 1922! Marcy's jacket is cute, but I do think I have something similar... 1929 is really nice. :+) WOW-men's coat is nice!! :+) Overall Vogue has "done it again" for me!! :+) Thank you!

[@missdemeanor3524]

The body suit really is beautiful, but I'm SO done with strapless bras and thong underwear after the 90's. I think it's going to sell really well for a new generation of women who will look adorable and fetching while constantly feeling like they need to adjust their clothing. Here, I didn't care for how they styled it with close-fitting pants. I'll prob always prefer the look of a bodysuit worn with loose, faded, tattered jeans. I hear you about that nightgown dress! It looks like a million bucks going to bed OR going out. Because the neckline is modest, I wonder if this pattern would work made up in an ity knit for the office? That Claire Schaeffer dress is one of my favorites! I agree that it seems needlessly labor-intensive though. I think it would look better with an invisible back zipper instead of the one shown in the pic. I'm so glad the new company has found their footing with Vogue! It would please me to no end if they would go back to the old Vogue editorial-style photos on the patterns and do more festive makeup and fun accessories for the holidays. Hopefully, they'll come to realize that Vogue Magazine readers and Vogue Pattern sewists seek this brand out to experience escapism and fantasy from everyday life.

[@andreabush1742]

Thank you for the review. Love this collection!

[@mmills5951]

You don’t have to do the zipper by hand. You can do a “hand picked” zipper using your machines blind hem stitch.

[@VariationsOnASeam]

This is the first collection from any company in a while where I felt like I'm the target audience. The coat, the blazer, the off-the-shoulder top, the 70s-ish dress, I'd make and wear all of those. I WISH I had somewhere to wear the gowns because I love those as well. As usual, I'd skip the bizarre Sandra Betzina pattern...and LOL I'll skip the sex slave top as well. I truly enjoy sewing zippers by hand but not for a such a boring dress as that Claire one. I, too, thought the nightgown was a dress at first and I'd absolutely wear it as one. But I also want to make one to swan around the house and act like my life is fancier than it is. It is the nightgown of my dreams. Gorgeous. So a few stinkers but in general, good job, Vogue. Edit: I was just over on the Vogue site and it occurred to me that Sandra Betzina thing looks like a garbage bag. LOL

[@jennifermaddock4382]

Yeah! Can't wait to see what they have.

[@susanisherwood5323]

Pannier-paneea Organdy and organza- same weave but one is silk and one is cotton. Over bodice is the add-on to change the look of the plainer dress. One could make different over bodices for different occasions. Moire- mwoira, faille-fi. Ending letters a and e are long vowels. Hope this helps!

[@susanisherwood5323]

I mean long I . Sorry.

[@silversagapatterns]

The 80’s called and want their clothes rack back. Honestly wished Vogue would contact me as they need some help. I get so many requests to start my own pattern line every day but I really don’t have the time.

[@melindawolfUS]

The back image of the baby-pink satin blazer didn't look properly pressed. I think it could have looked more expensive if the seams were pressed

[@Dashzap]

Some very attractive patterns...a couple not so much. I won't be making any of them, though, as I am apple figured and very casual. Oh, but those coats are lovely.

[@marimba26]

Denim for that last coat...such an 80s look. At least that's what it's bringing up for me.

[@deborahjohnson4401]

Thanks for this. LOVE Claire Shaeffer. She is a cult figure for serious sewists. I’m salivating for that new dress in black wool crepe.

[@marisoldominguez438]

I felt the same thing about pattern V1926 when I saw where the breast pockets were positioned. The button looks like it’s on the center of the breast which looks weird plus I think visually it makes the breast look saggy in a sense. Other than that I love this style of coat and the other patterns are nice.

[@kathygann7632]

Thank you for doing this!

[@PinkTigger33]

That Sandra Betzina top/dress looks like cosplay. I get Star Wars vibes from it.

[@melindawolfUS]

20:00 made me laugh. It seems like a first-year fashion school attempt at avant-garde but just looks like an unfinished Halloween costume going as a paper bag, candy package or envelope

[@clairecreates8283]

"The front is a little... sex slavish" 💀🤣 my first thoughts were very bondage looking lol

[@susanisherwood5323]

Nightgown is a misnomer. Years ago, women would wear a “house coat” in fancy fabrics. Think Rita Hayworth, Katherine Hepburn, etc.

[@nikkibaker1937]

V1924 looks like a Devo artist smock or like a dress Phyllis Diller wore in the 60's.....

[@nikkibaker1937]

All depends on the fabric.

[@marinelab]

This collection blew my mind compared to Mc Call's... I love most of them except for two that feel unwearable...

[@melindawolfUS]

I think the 70's dress didn't need the neck gathers in the back. A waste of fabric and time in my opinion since it does read "choir robe" to me, too.

[@melindawolfUS]

27:00 Strong agree on all the hand-sewing... looks homemade in a bad way, if you ask me. I wouldn't bother with all the work for such a shapeless silhouette

[@claudianowakowski]

I would not call that Sandra betsina thing a top. It looks like a vest or dress. It looks like a star trek next generation alien costume. Actually I don't hate it. I think people will buy that vintage ball gown pattern for bridal gowns. I wonder if the nightgown is supposed to be an evening gown. It is beautiful. Sounds like the Claire dress is over constructed. It looks like a maternity evening dress. Pass. The strap detail top would look better with straps only in back. The straps in front are too much. It would be difficult to fit for a larger bust.

[@edinacole6382]

Pocket buttons on your boobs bother me too. Sometimes when they make double breasted jackets, they put an extra button up high and it seems to hit at the nipples also. Did men design these?

[@Ramjit275]

Sometimes the model's face looks sour, like, you wanna wear this? 👀🤣🤣

[@jayneterry8701]

Seem to be only one pattern for wide middle 😟 disappointed. Oh well be the next video.
