I forget about New Look patterns. Perhaps becase the patterns are not prominent on Simplicity's site. Or because New Look patterns are never on sale; while they are always a cheap $3.99, it seems that every weekend either McCalls, Butterick, or Simplicity are on sale for 99 cents, so I gravitate towards those.
In any event, I shouldn't overlook New Look as there are some real gems.
This could be another version of The Perfect Dress - but this one with a great tie neckline:
I want that red dress in that fake red/white fabric...
I've been seeking a pattern for the white top below: just a 3/4 length-sleeve woven top pattern that's not a tunic. It's suprisingly hard to find, so I was excited by NL6868:
It got so-so reviews on Pattern Review because of a wonky facing (if you look closely at the model's top on the site, the neckline facing is a little crazy), but it's such a great top that I may have to make it work. Can't you see it in an eyelet?
My favorite is this skirt:
The short length and pleats look high-end RTW! It is definitely on my (huge) to-sew-list.
