According to this pattern, the source of inspiration is well read - the model of the Fendi spring collection.

Nice adaptation. You can modify it to a greater resemblance to the original, or you can leave it as it is.
Idea:
decor with beads can be replaced with rivets, sequins and even feathers, or you can completely do without it.
Nuance:
the more decor on things, the more difficult it is to complete.

It is a basic fitted (!) Pattern of a jacket. Pockets, still desirable in outerwear, can be placed in embossed seams.

Nuance:
Before sewing, think about what you are going to wear this jacket on. For example, a loose knit sweater or a voluminous hoodie is unlikely to fit under it.
On a note:
it is better for owners of confident hips to choose a length just below the widest part of these very hips.
Idea:

sew a combined version as in Saint Laurent.

A great example of how interesting it is to beat the basic pattern. A very unusual thing!
Idea:
use as part of a suit with skirts or trousers, for example, at graduation party or for a guest at a wedding. You can extend it to mini dresses and get a non-trivial alternative to a tuxedo dress.

It would seem that a pretty coat with interesting reliefs and ruffles on the sleeves that flickered in the collections of the current season.

But it will not be so easy to complete it. Add a sheath dress and high-heeled shoes or skinny jeans and ballet flats and get an image of five years ago ... Why? The trend is too smooth, and coupled with a round neck can quickly add a touch of appearance. What to do? Add pungency.

For example, a collar with corners (English or at least turndown), and complement with trendy things.
Straight pants

This pattern is good for its versatility and the ability to make friends with different styles - just choose the right fabric (cotton, costume wool, eco-leather, etc.).
Pants with patch pockets in the spring and summer season at the peak of popularity.

On a note:
such trousers will perfectly mask the imperfections of the legs, if suddenly there are any.
Shuttlecocks and asymmetry

There were many flounces and asymmetries on the podium, and it seems that the model is quite in the spirit of the times. But again, the trends are softened, so outdated equipment will kill the image.
By the way, in the magazine the idea is very well beaten by trendy culottes, a plastic bag with animal print and sandals with thin straps.
Nuance:
the blouse is self-sufficient and not basic, therefore, it requires a sound approach to packaging
On a note:
It perfectly disguises an imperfect tummy and emphasizes a large breast.
(anticipating the comment “I didn’t understand what type of figure this model is suitable for”, I answer: each woman has her own nuances and preferences, and, for example, the owner of a large breast will want to emphasize this advantage, and not hide it in the pursuit of an hourglass silhouette. Therefore I write what it is worth paying attention to, whether you need it or not, decide for yourself).
Dress with details

The technical design is impressive: assembly, asymmetry, draped wide belt.

Based on this pattern, you can sew an elegant dress, and a variant with a touch of boho.
On a note:
This dress will also serve in the cool season, it is enough to supplement it with a straight jacket in a men's style or a voluminous cardigan.
Knit dress

Beautiful diagonal draperies, an elegant neckline with a boat ... It is evident that the designers of the magazine tried very hard. But the model is ambiguous, a lot will depend on the choice of fabric.
On a note:

instead of thin shiny polyester knitwear, give preference to noble matte textures.

In a word - the base. The presence of structural parts (tucks) is chosen according to our figure. And remember that the V-neckline visually lengthens the neck and visually makes the heavy chest lighter. I wouldn’t make loops in the first blouse so that I could fill the blouse; the fabric belt would be replaced with a usual leather belt no longer 2.5-3 cm wide.

A good pullover, especially if it is sewn from quality knitwear.

You can grab the neck and wear it as a voluminous sweater with a V-neck, or you can leave it as it is and wear it half-low on t-shirts, tops and turtlenecks.

The wraparound model, as always, is relevant and complementary to almost all figures.
Nuance: specifically, this one has many horizontal lines in the area of the waist and abdomen - I would make the central insert whole-cut with the lower right half.

Great base dress. And the idea of layering is very relevant.

Idea:
flounces on the bottom can be removed or replaced on the pleated, braid with feathers or a long silk fringe. The upper part of the dress can be worn solo, over midi skirts or trousers - a trendy option!
On a note:
lace mesh, crochet lace, soft tulle, chiffon, suit, crepe, cady are great for the upper dress.
Wedding Dress

Usually in the March issue a whole section devoted to wedding fashion. This time we decided to limit ourselves to one dress in the spirit of Grace Kelly. And in my opinion, the choice is not entirely logical, because the most talked about wedding dress last year was Meghan Markle's dress from Givenchy (bride), and it carries a completely different idea.

Nuance: of course, Grace Kelly's dress has become a timeless classic. And if you want a conservative, royally luxurious, and not a dynamically modern version, feel free to sew.
