Summer 2014 Buttericks have been posted: among other things, there are quite a lot of dresses and voluminous tops. Nothing struck me as anything I have to have — most of them are just not right for my shape.
I did find Gertie's swimsuit pattern interesting. It's meant to be cut on the crossgrain (!) presumably in an attempt to translate vintage-style structure to modern fabrics. I wonder how well that works. (I do actually have a couple of vintage swimsuit patterns for wovens, although I haven't dared try them.) And this might sound flip, but this dress looks like it would make a good nightgown.
