NEW Vogue Spring Summer 2026 Designer Sewing Patterns You NEED to See These

Wow, I am not cool enough to wear these. 90s Calvin Klein meets Upper West Side Wedding. The construction is amazing. You need to be able to walk people. It doesn't need pockets. Okay, this is full on drama in the best way. The new Vogue collection has landed. Gorgeous day wear and special occasion pieces plus some really good vintage reissues this time. It's a masterclass in unique construction with high-end finishes, including designer dupes for Alaia, Me and Em, Caroline Herrera, Netta Porter, and more. Grab a drink and find a comfy seat and join me as I dive into the collection. I'm sharing my totally unfiltered first reactions, the patterns I love, the ones that surprised me, and a few that made me raise an eyebrow. With statement dresses, easy wearable pieces, and perfect vintage reissues, there's a lot to swoon over in this collection. Before we jump in, I have to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped me hit 7,000 subscribers. Coming back to YouTube after such a long break, I wasn't sure if I would find my people, but I'm so pleased you're here. And if you're new to the channel, why not subscribe and help us reach 10,000? That sounds so silly to say. I have so much planned for this year. Now, back to the patterns. Vogue 2172 is a dress with sleeve and length variations. This one's a really polished midi dress that's nicely fitted in the bodice. I really like under bust gathers, don't you? And a short, clean little collar stand that gives it a tailored feel. You've got an invisible zip at the front. This is the new version of the exposed zipper front dress trend that we saw last year, so now using invisible zips. It has very cool seam lines with contrast topstitching that draw the eye down the body, and then the skirt gently flares out. There are godets added for a bit of controlled swish, which is always fun. And the short sleeves are sort of softly shaped for a very refined look. Oh, and it has side seam pockets. It's actually a great dupe for the me and M topstitch midi dress, which has four rows of topstitching per seam, which would be a lot more work to add in. Vogue 2173 is a draped neckline midi dress. This is such an elegant, dramatic piece. It's a fitted lined midi dress with a sleeveless body and an empire waistline, which I don't normally sew up, but it looks really great here. The skirt is slim with a back slit, very important. You need to be able to walk, people. But the real star here is that neckline, a scoop front with a bias cut drape that's pleated at the shoulders to create a really deep, gorgeous cowl. This would be perfect for an event, especially in a zesty green color like this. I could also see it in plain black crepe for a work piece if you're in a formal office setting. Vogue 2174 is a fit and flare midi dress by Badgley Mischka. This is your classic fit and flare, but with a bit of extra structure. It's actually cut on the cross grain because of the unusual large pattern pieces. And the bodice is quite tailored with a deep V neckline and short sleeves. I think the shoulder pads in there as well for a bit of shape. And honestly, it's a really interesting construction. I've never seen anything like this. Here's a sneak peek at the pattern pieces where the front pleats are formed as the princess seams come together. Oh, really cool. It fits closely through the bust and then flares out into the skirt with those box pleats. So you get controlled volume at the hem and it's very crisp, fully lined of course. And yeah, pockets are included as well. Vogue 2175 is a halter maxi dress. This one gives me 90s Calvin Klein meets Upper West Side Wedding. It's a lined fit and flare maxi with princess seams at the front and back for shaping. And then a high halter neckline sort of fits around the throat with a narrow V at the front. There's lovely button and loop details plus a under flap for coverage, which is a smart touch. Very refined for a formal event plus petite adjustment lines. Vogue 2176 is a Rachel Comey midi dress. This is my absolute favorite from the collection. I love Rachel Comey and this dress has her same relaxed but put together vibe. It's got a deep V neckline and those soft sleeves that kind of frame the shoulders really nicely. The bodice is pleated into a raised waist and there's a self-tie at the back so you can adjust the fit. Easy, breezy, still elevated. I have some lovely bright linen fabric in my stash perfect for this pattern and I can't wait to sew up a version for spring and summer. Vogue 2177 is a strapless column gown with back bow. Okay, this is full on drama in the best way. It's a slim fitting strapless column gown with an empire waist and then it's a pleated bust bodice. Got all the internal structure there too, boning, interlining, gripper tape so it actually stays put. The skirt is floor length but the real moment is that back bow that flows into a court length train. It's reinforced too so it holds its shape and honestly, isn't this red carpet worthy? It's a good interpretation of the Caroline Herrera taffeta gown. The bust detail is draped on the Herrera instead of pleated but I like the bow better on the Vogue. What do you think? Vogue 2178 is a halter gown by Badgley Miske. Another really elegant gown from the designer this time with a pearl trim halter neckline. Couldn't you see this on Gossip Girl? The bodice is softly pleated or gathered through the bust and finished with trim, both the neckline and the waist. Just enough detail without being over the top. I mean, maybe pearl trim is over the top, I don't care. It's fitted through the bodice and then flares out at a fishtail hem which gives that lovely movement at the bottom and as you would expect, it's fully lined, has an invisible zipper. What more can I say? I love the yellow as well. 2179 is a bow blouse and I'm very excited about this one because it's similar to a piece from one of my favorite designers. This is one of those pieces that feels simple but really elevated and it's softly structured with elbow-length sleeves, button placket, and then that statement bow sitting right at the collarbone. You could easily dress this up and down. It works just as well for daytime as you could make a smart polished version for nighttime. It also has the petite adjustment lines which I love as a short lady. It's giving me the same vibes as the Lena Hoštěk bow blouse but with a different style of bow but you could probably tweak the pattern pieces and play with fabric choice to have a softer, fuller, rounder bow like the Inspiration. Vogue 2180 is a sheer blouse and camisole set. If you love a bit of drama in your sleeves, this is the one for you. It's a semi-fitted blouse designed just for sheer fabrics with a dual neckline, front buttons. The sleeve are elbow-length but then they extend into these beautiful, cascading flounces that take them to a three-quarter length sleeve. Very floaty but also an interesting construction. The sleeves are made from large, rounded flounce pieces. One of them's an entire circle and they're finished with teeny baby hems also known as designer hems, a great skill-boosting technique. They have a video tutorial for that too. You also get a bias-cut camisole included, which is helpful if you don't want to flash everybody. Vogue 2181 is a peplum jacket. Peplums are back, apparently. This jacket is all about structure and shape. It's got really clean tailoring, simple seams paired with a dramatic flared peplum that gives you instant waist definition. The self-covered fabric buttons keep everything looking cohesive and it's one of those pieces that just sort of elevates what you wear with it. I think it would look really cool with jeans, skirts, evening looks. But it doesn't need pockets. I would personally skip the welts. Who's with me? Vogue 2182 is a set of bolero jackets. These cute little cropped boleros have raglan sleeves and interesting seams. You've got two options. One is fully lined with rhinestone trim at the neckline if you want some sparkle. Here it's shown paired with Vogue 2175 from the beginning of the video. And the other, unlined version, has fewer seams, self-bias binding, perfect for a simple finish and sheer fabrics. Both closed with like a hook and eye at the neckline. Nice and simple. V2183 is a spiral skirt. Wow, can you believe this skirt? It's reminiscent of a very special designer too. It's got an asymmetric spiral ruffle that creates a fluid flowing shape plus a contoured waistband so it sits nicely. The contrast topstitching adds a bit of interest and it fastens with an invisible side zip. The construction is amazing. It's an underskirt and then a spiral flounced ruffle attached on top. Here's a sneak peek from the instructions. And it's a great choice if you're a fan of Aliyah's asymmetric ruffled tiered denim skirt. The Vogue has a waistband, which I prefer. I think it's more wearable that way. But the Aliyah skirt has pockets somehow. I don't know how they manage that pattern cutting mastery. And I'd call the shape of the Vogue ruffles frothier. Vogue 2184 is a ponty knit miniskirt. It's a really modern sculptural skirt. Ponty's comfy but still structured. The paneling shapes the waist and hips and then it drops into this dramatic handkerchief hem for a bit of flair. Super easy to style, works with fitted tops, oversized shirts. Don't have much to say about this one. It's very cool and nice. But I'm not a big fan of wearing knits or skirts. So I won't be sewing this one myself. How about you? Vogue 2185 is a basque waist pleated pant. This is a statement trouser. They've got a high-waisted basque corset effect. And then that's stiffened for structure so you get a really sculpted fit through the waist and hips. And then below that, the pants release into very wide flowing legs, very dramatic. And yes, pockets are included. Plus an invisible zip to get in and out of these. They really surprised me when I saw this pant set. I can see someone incredibly cool making a pair. I am not cool enough to wear these, that's for sure. They're a bit like a pair I saw on Annuli by Rukh Salamud. They've got really interesting shapes. What do we think? The similarities. Vogue 2186 is a relaxed crop top and slouchy pant by Rachel Comey. Another one for the Rachel Comey cool girls. This is your perfect throw on off-duty set. The top is cropped with boxy, slightly utilitarian feel. The trousers are the main attraction though. They sit high on the waist. They've got this cool structured button front fly. And then they go into more of a relaxed slouchy wide leg. There's an adjustable tab at the back too so you can tweak the fit and wear together for a coordinated look or split them up. Both pieces are super versatile. Vogue 2187 is described as a wrap front shirt and wide leg pants. This set has a really interesting twist. That shirt is oversized and tunic length with extended shoulders that create little cap sleeves. And then there's this wrap panel that comes from the back and ties at the front. Unlike anything I've ever seen before, the trousers, I mean, I would probably call them Bermuda pants. Would you? They're cropped, wide leg with darts, a fly front and then an elasticated back, which is very comfy. Now, I'm not picking this one up, but I did have a peek at the instructions to see how that top comes together. Vogue 2188 is a structured top with tie belts, shorts and pants. It's a really tailored modern suit that I can get behind. The top is double breasted with lapel collar, angled cap sleeves, shaped hem, plus a little slim tie belt to pull everything together. Gorgeous. You can pair it with either wide leg trousers or Bermuda shorts. And both have pleats, extended waistbands, clean front zips. There's a piece by Meshki, the Adina short sleeve linen top, which has a similar look, but it's only got one button and it's more peplum shaped, I think. But there's some similar vibes there. I really want to see someone sew this up. V2189 is a kaftan dress. This is your standard floaty statement kaftan. It's got an empire seam at the front, big A-line maxi skirt with inverted pleats, lace trim, and those big bishop sleeves with elasticated cuffs. The back has a wide opening with ties, plus an elasticated panel for a bit of shape. There's also a deep V at the front with an optional modesty panel. You could wear this as lounge wear or turn it into a going out dress, I suppose, depending on if you picked your fabric wisely. V2190 is a men's relaxed suit. I won't linger on this one. It's really wearable, relaxed cuts. The blazer is double-breasted, wide lapels, multiple pockets, and slightly relaxed shoulders for an easy feel. Trousers are classic, got fly front, belt loops, welt pockets. It's nice. V2191 is a vintage cowl neck dress and belt by Diane Von Furstenberg. God, don't you love DVF? I really enjoy the non-wrap dress patterns in her range. This is such a gorgeous vintage reissue. It's from 1981, and it's very loose-fitting. It's a pullover dress with classic blouson shape because of the bodice being cut on the bias and then an elasticated waist. You've got soft cowl neckline at the front, short kimono sleeves, and then a relatively straight skirt that can be either below the knee or full maxi length. It comes with a cute coordinating fabric belt finished with D-rings to pull the whole look together. It just looks so comfy, but made in tomato red silk, it's definitely a bit more polished than that. Vogue 2192 is a vintage dress and jacket, a really lovely 1967 two-piece set. I like the short jacket that's neat and structured, and underneath the sleeveless dress is semi-fitted, slim skirt, a bodice that's gathered into a high waist seam. That was so popular in the 1960s. It's finished with a front band and button detailing and a self-belt. Very cute. V2193 is a vintage wrap dress. Are you as excited about this one as I am? A timeless wrap dress from 1985. That's just so wearable. I love the illustration in stripes, so I think I might copy that. It falls anywhere from mid-calf to just below the ankle with a close-fitting bodice, a defined waistband. It also has pockets, we love to see it, and a nice narrow hem. Keeps everything neat and streamlined. A great reissue. Vogue 2194 is a vintage straight skirt set. It's the last one here, but not the least. This is a very versatile 1986 skirt pattern with multiple length options. It's got a classic straight silhouette with waistband, back zip, and back vent for ease of movement. Some views include pockets, others have belt loops. You can sort of mix and match everything together to get the perfect skirt that you need. It's kind of a useful wardrobe staple. There you have it, the newest designs from Vogue featuring cool construction, dazzling details, and some out-there silhouettes. Which Vogue pattern caught your eye? Let me know in the comments.
