Summer Fashion Forecast from Simplicity

Simplicity 2899 - high tech metallics are so INHot news for spring summer fashions includes brilliant colours, patterned fabrics and flattering shapes.


Simplicity patterns forecast that natural fibres such as cotton and linen continue to be fabric staples.
But for those that like some novelty try:

- High tech metallics like burnished gold, bronze and copper
- Fabrics that shimmer with metallic threads woven throughout
- Textured fabrics like brocades, embossed cloths, crinkled and micro-pleated effects.

Colourful news

Bold colours are BIG, but for those that prefer a more muted palette look for:
- Classic warm milky caramel and ivory
- Iced grey or toffee taupe
- Classic black and white will still provide a strong and crisp look

Yellow is a hot colour for summer and puff sleeves an important detail (Simplicity 2885)Bold and bright

- Pineapple yellow
- Peppermint Green
- Wild Watermelon
- Tangy Turquoise and Lemon Lime

Shape of things to come

The newest is the shift dress. The newest length Mini
Empire line continues to claim attention.

The focal point will be shoulders – through eye-catching seaming and sleeves that are puffed, raglan or stylised with lace
