Giveaway: What Shall I Wear?

cover-what-shall-i-wear

Quite a while back, I wrote a little review of the classic guide to dressing by Claire McCardell titled What Shall I Wear?

At the time, many of you bemoaned the fact that it seemed to be out of print. Well, that is no longer the case!

The lovely folks at Overlook Press have sent me a brand new edition of this lively little book to give away to one of you. The new edition is just adorable, with the same original illustrations throughout, along with photos of Claire McCardell creations.

The prize

We’re giving away a copy of this new edition, plus a $25 Colette Patterns gift certificate to go with it, good for anything in our shop.

My favorite piece of clothing right now is a summer dress I made last year from a beautiful floral print on the softest cotton. I can’t wait for summer so I can start wearing it again!

My favorite at this moment is a black & gray animal print jacket. I like it because I can wear it with a lot of my clothes and it goes through the washer and dryer beautifully. Unfortunately it has not been cold enough for me to get a lot of wear out of it this winter.

My favorite at the moment is a gift from a friend….its a thick blue champion hoodie sweatshirt. She found it at a local local shop that sells clothes used on TV shows – this hoodie is from the show Friday Night Lights and says WEST across it in yellow letters. She knew how much we loved the show and it’s such a warm broken in cozy sweatshirt I end up wearing it at home when the mornings or nights get too chilly.

This book looks looks wonderful. My favorite pieces of clothing at the moment are a lacy blue and white Wacoal bra and matching panty I splurged on with a Macy’s gift card. The gift card brought my out-of-pocket expense down to what my regular Vanity Fair basics cost. They aren’t for every day, but I feel less dowdy just having them in the drawer.

Right now my favorite is my pair of cabled, metallic flecked fingerless gloves. They extend fromknuckles to elbow and keep me warm on days like today. Since I knitted them, they fit like, well, a glove!

My favorite piece is a yellow pencil skirt that I transformed from a pair of scrubs. It’s comfortable but still looks nice, and I love the bright color! Thank you for the chance to win!

Oooo, what a nice give away!

Right now, my favorite piece of clothing is a silk and merino wool sweater. It’s black, so it goes with everything and it is long and warm. Perfect for winter!

Thank you for the give away!

Oo I would love to add this book to my collection! My favourite item of clothing at the moment is my reversible dress that I made http://dreamingofavonlea.wordpress.com/2013/01/05/a-reversible-start-to-the-new-year/ – although not really practical for day wear! x

My favourite article of clothing right now is my Washi dress made from some soft, printed corduroy. Throw it with some fleece-lined tights and I’m good to go! Feels like I’m wearing jammies all day!

You are so sweet to offer this giveaway! My favorite item of clothing is a skirt that I’ve made. It’s blue with flowers and it fits really well. Plus, the fabric is so pretty.

Thank you!

My favorite piece of clothing is a vintage haori I bought at, of all places, the Santa Fe flea market some years ago. I wear it with both dress slacks and jeans – over a blouse or a turtleneck or a tank- depending on the season.

My favorite piece of clothing right now is my dark red corderoy skirt. It is a skirt of many firsts:first pattern bought online:Sewaholic 1101. First skirt with a waistband..and a pieced waistband , at that ! First skirt that looks amazing inside and out because I did french seams throughout. And first skirt I did a muslin for, marked the fit changes, then made perfectly the very first fit ! I am very proud of it, plus it’s cute, and looks great with my red-striped tee I found at a consignment shop and my boots !

I found Batgirl underwear the other day at Target and it fits perfectly and I adore it. It’s my new lucky underwear.

A velvet top that used to be a dress that I loved, but it hung in the wardrobe for ages because it had a small cigarette burn in it (grrr, smokers!) Then I had the (admittedly simple) idea to cut it down & wear it as a top (the hole was at the bottom). It’s so comfy, that, when it gets worn out, I may be tempted to unpick it & use it as a pattern (or try & start a new fashion for patches…) Love your site, it’s so inspirational

I LOVE my scarf.

I’ve gone a little crazy for Valentine’s day this year and my favorite item of clothing is the new Valentine’s Day dress I just finished making!

It is a cute little Cynthia Rowley number- nothing too fancy (I’m not an advanced sewer at all). It has a short flared skirt with pleats. A simple scoop top; sleevelss. The outer fabric is light, pink corduroy with white hearts. I lined it with a light cotton that has pink polka dots. The inside is as scrumptious as the outside!

I’m lucky that the winter is so mild here in California, after I pop on a little cardigan, belt, and kitten heels I am ready to go out and Valentinize the world!

My favorite piece of clothing right now is a dress I found at a second hand store. It has cap sleeves, a slight boat neck, princess seams and is made of white cotton fabric with red and fuschia watercolor poppies. It fits me perfectly and the bright flowers do wonders to perk up my mood. I’ve been wearing it with aqua tights and a navy cardigan. I would love a copy of the book your are giving away :)

I am in love with my Remixx Boardwalk shoes. They are sharp looking and comfortable.

My favourite piece of clothing at the moment is my very warm puffer coat. It was bought, but I hope to someday have the skills to sew one of these in a more flattering style (some waistline definition).

Realistically, my favorite item of clothing are probably my jeans. Not exactly the fun choice, but I wear them almost every day. (I do own a lovely Claire McCardell dress that is on my list of things to save from a burning building, but it doesn’t get too many outings).

Carly

February 6, 2013 #

Favorite pieces of clothing in the winter are hard because it is miserably cold and I just wear as many layers as possible. But the item of clothing I am most looking forward to warmer weather for is my green Anthropologie shirt-dress (http://s9.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/0D58163A.jpg). My favorite self-made item of clothing is a green plaid Simplicity 2305 dress.

My favorite article of clothing is a big cuddly cashmere swaeter I have had for years…..it makes a northern winter so much happier

Jessie

Indiana is so cold right now so my favorite piece is my cocoon coat made with a royal purple wool cloth. Its so light and has great shape but withstands those blustery days. Its the one piece that makes me feel sheik even though I’m completely covered by my hat, mittens, boots, slicker, and big scarf. Its one big warm hug.

I got sick of the uniforms available here so I whipped up some scrubs with fish fabric and get comments every day from customers. They are comfortable, cheerful and practical.

Right now, my favorite piece of clothing is my perfect green pea-coat. Every detail of it is just perfect – it always gets noticed and I always feel special wearing it! It is well-worth the time it takes to mend it to keep it in tip-top shape.

Laura S.

February 6, 2013 #

Right now my favorite piece of clothing is my pair of high-waisted, flared jeans from Gap that my husband gave me for Christmas. They have an awesome 70s look and I love the high waist. I am so tired of low rise jeans!!

February 6, 2013 #

Thanks for this nice giveaway,
My favorite piece of clothing is a knit dress I made 2 or 3 years ago. It’s a simple kimono sleves not very fitted dress. I wear it with a belt. I love the material wich is a quite heavy organic hemp and cotton knit very easy to sew since it doesn’t strech a lot.
I wear it all year round and a made some litlle sisters to ths dress but not one is a good as the first one!!!

Heather

February 6, 2013 #

Hmm, I think my favourite garment right now (other than my boyfriend’s housecoat – so cozy!) is my fuzzy knit cardigan. It’s burgundy, my favourite colour right now, has pockets and a huge floppy collar, and so well loved I’m probably going to have to retire it soon. :(

Mizz Mitten

February 6, 2013 #

Oooh, how exciting! If I won I’m not sure which pattern(s) I’d get, as I want so many of them! Violet or Crepe, perhaps?

Joelle

February 6, 2013 #

My favorite piece of clothing always seems to be my last me made… Which currently is a black lace dress. Not very practical but I am really pleased with it!

Diana M

February 6, 2013 #

Right now my fave thing to wear is the no.2 drape top (made up as a dress) from drape drape 2. It is very warm in Melbourne and this dress made up in a red and white, very soft and light cotton jersey is keeping me cool and comfortable.

Mizz Mitten

February 6, 2013 #

In my excitement I forgot to post my favorite garment. Right now it’s my cheetah print coat, as I live in frigid Minnesota, so I never leave the house without it on!

What a lovely giveaway! My favorite item that I’m wearing to the ground is a velveteen snap-button shirt/jacket with patch pockets from the 70’s. It is a deep rich black with white piping and I absolutely love it. I need to recreate it before it falls apart!

My favorite piece of clothing is my papillon blouse I made from the Licorice pattern. I’ve been wearing it under cardigans with pants and clogs. The detailed neckline and bright colors are the perfect harbinger of spring.

This winter it has been so cold, so my favorite item of clothing is my coat from the Army surplus store. It keeps me warm!

My favorite piece of clothing right now isn’t quite clothing. It’s a new pair of shoes that fit well and are super cute. I’ve been wearing them almost constantly for the last couple of weeks.

Elisha

February 6, 2013 #

Hmm… well, I’m going to have to go with a comfy men’s sweater my Gramma knitted, probably for my Grampa or dad.

Karen

February 6, 2013 #

Right now, I’d have to say my favorite item of clothing is my Peony dress in a tweedy brown/grey fabric. Perfect with a pair of tights for this time of year!

Jane

February 6, 2013 #

My favourite thing is always the last project so I’ll say the trousers I made (and have worn for 3 days straight).

Yummy giveaway!
My favourite thing to wear right now is a comfy cowl neck grey jersey dress I made from an adapted Burda Style pattern. I added pintucks to the back pattern piece to adjust the loose fit but the geometric shape of the pintuck pattern adds some interest as well. The grey jersey was meant for a jacket I’m making for my husband, but it was so deliciously soft and supple I couldn’t resist ;-) Luckily the store had more in stock!

My favorite piece of clothing right now is a black skirt. I can wear it with just about any top. It’s very versatile.

My favorite item of clothing right now is my new wedge sneakers – so comfortable i can wear them all day, and they have a Liberty print on them!

I had a baby a little over a year ago and have since transitioned from working full-time to being an at-home mom. I’m still having a hard time striking a balance in my wardrobe between more formal garments that make me feel pretty, and casual clothes that allow me me the range of motion needed to chase after my little girl all day. At the moment, I’d have to say that my most-worn garment is a sleeveless summer dress with a full skirt and ruching at the back bodice. I throw a cardigan over top and feel “dressed” but still comfortable.
Thank you for hosting this giveaway and also for offering shipping for your international readers (like myself)!

My favourite item of clothing right now is an emerald green lined lace peplum top, with 3/4 length sleeves. I did buy it, but I have some lovely cream-coloured lace fabric from Bangkok that I hope to turn into a similar shirt!

Jess

February 6, 2013 #

What a lovely give-away! Such a darling book, and I could always use more of your excellent patterns. :)

My favorite piece of clothing at the moment is the sweater dress I just completed last night. It’s so warm and cozy!

Currently my favorite piece of clothing are a pair of jeans from the Gap (I know, of all places). I love them because jeans are the hardest thing on earth to find the perfect fit for! These jeans don’t stretch out and give me that weird saggy butt look at the end of the day. I’m a student in Santa Cruz, so to be able to walk comfortably all over campus, I need a good pair of jeans and I’m glad I found them.

My favorite piece of clothing is still my wedding dress. I got the Monsoon Cadogan dress (http://us.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/us_catalog/mon_1,mon_1.2/1533524110) for my very informal wedding back in May last year. Haven’t had chance to dress it down and wear it again yet, but may be able to break it out for my anniversary. Planning to add maybe a coloured belt and shoes.

Danielle

February 6, 2013 #

What a wonderful giveaway! Thank you so much.
My favorite piece of clothing right now would have to be a pair of shiny gold Jeffrey Campbell oxfords I just picked up that were on sale! Gold goes with everything :)

February 6, 2013 #

My favourite item of clothing right now is my black pleated skirt. It goes with so many tops and brightly coloured tights, and it’s not so short I have to worry about flashing my knickers!

SarahZip

February 6, 2013 #

Wearing it right now, a vintage chinese jacket in a gorgeous shade of wine. I love it even though it’s quite “costumey” and was probably the top of a set of pajamas. :)

I adore Clarie McCardell. Glad to know the book is back in print.

My favorite piece of clothing right now is the Sassy Librarian Blouse that I just made through the Craftsy platform. I am anxiously awaiting my order from Coletterie patterns. I plan to make Anise, Ginger and Clover to compliment this piece!

Michelle

February 6, 2013 #

I have two dresses in constant rotation right now: Gertie’s Shirtwaist Dress and my Peony dress. Both are so comfortable and they both make me look so put together-two very important things to a stay at home mom!!

Amy Southerland

February 6, 2013 #

My favorite item right now is my new black coat. It is double breasted, but collarless so it shows off scarves nicely. It is a perfect fit and I feel wonderful in it! It is just a little sad that we have had a mild winter (yesterday was 70) and it mostly is hung in the closet.

Caro

February 6, 2013 #

My favourite piece of clothing has to be the polka dot dress I made using the Sewaholic Lonsdale pattern. It works with everything and for all occassions and I cut the hem at a length that makes it work appropriate as well!

Miet

February 6, 2013 #

My favourite piece of clothing is my little black dress, which I hope to wear again someday, when the breastfeeding is over…. Of the clothes I actually wear these days, my yoga pants are my favourite; so comfy!

Angela

February 6, 2013 #

My favorite piece of clothing is a madewell distressed denim shirt, I feel so at home when I wear it!

Kris

February 6, 2013 #

My favorite piece of clothing right now is the wearable muslin button-down shirt I just finished. It’s my first time sewing a dress-shirt style, and I had to use all kinds of new skills like making a yoke, front placket, collar stand, etc. It turned out pretty well considering I had to try so many new things and it really boosted my confidence on tackling more complicated sewing projects! Now to make one out of the schmancy chambray I bought!

Nina

February 6, 2013 #

A few months ago I made a simple top, copied from one I bought at a sample sale. It’s made of thick, dark grey organic cotton interlock that I got from a remnants box at a long-since-closed-down eco-textiles shop, and it’s quite loose, with long raglan sleeves and a big cowl neck. So cosy, and pleasingly not homemade-looking. Plus it was really quick and easy to make – I’ll be repeating it!

Nita

February 6, 2013 #

My favourite piece of clothing at the moment is my yoga pants. Comfy!

Nicole

It has been so unbelievably cold these past six weeks that my favorite piece of clothing right now is my thick wool coat I made from Butterick 5401. Even in the worst weather it manages to keep me relatively warm.

At the moment, my favourite piece of clothing is a pair of Rawhide jeans I FOUND in my office! And they are from the 50’s! With all the labels intact! In my size!
I was speachless when I found them. :-)

Oh wow, it’s my (40th, gulp!) birthday today, so I really hope I win! My favorite piece of clothing at the moment isn’t something I made, unfortunately. It’s a drapey, espresso brown, cowl neck top. Flattering, and it looks great with everything. I love how espresso brown makes colors pop!

Carlijn Bakker

February 6, 2013 #

My favourite item right now is my mother’s vintage black mini skirt, which I saved from the bin. The skirt is velvet black and has tiny shiny (also in black) leaves and roses embroidery on it. I love the sturdy quality, none of that high priced but low quality products we have nowadays. I usually mix it with one of my many geek tees or a blouse with a cardigan and some crazy tights.

Andrea

February 6, 2013 #

Right now I can’t live without my hand knit “Rae” scarf. Its vibrant deep red colour alone is enough to put a smile on my face and it sure keeps me warn and toasty in this damp west coast winter. The book looks like a little treasure – thanks for the giveaway!

Cathie

February 6, 2013 #

My favourite piece right now is a rain jacket. Here in Vancouver, we are practically ‘famous’ for our rain. This cute jacket is by an Irish designer. It’s got a slim silhouette, a slightly puffy bubble hem, and lots of pretty pockets!!!! All in a pretty, dusky pink. Goes well with skirts or jeans!

Thank you for the giveaway. :) ♥

I am LOVING my little wool driving cap that I inherited from my step father who died about a year and half ago. I’ve worn it every day this winter. It keeps my head warm, looks cool, and reminds me of him every time I see it. Thanks for the chance to win the book! :D

February 6, 2013 #

I have a brown tweedy jacket with a lovely soft, worn in brown leather collar that I got in a charity shop years ago. It goes with everything, fits perfectly and it has a quilted lining. Love it so much I’ll be devastated when it finally falls apart!

Latrice

February 6, 2013 #

My favorite clothing item right now, is my winter coat. I moved to Cali about 5 years ago and got rid of my winter coat because it was suggested to me to do so.
So after all this time I finally purchase a real wool coat, black and slimming just how I like it. Bonus it has a removeable hood

lsaspacey

Oh, wow! I would love to own this book, being a fan of her clothes and style for years. My favorite item of clothing is my chocolate brown wool Issey Miyake coat that I made from a Vogue pattern when I was in high school. Still gorgeous and even though the construction isn’t as complicated as his designs could be, it makes me proud and is definitely a head-turner of a garment.

amber

February 6, 2013 #

Thank you for the giveaway! I live in Orlando, Florida. This means our “dead of winter” weather hits about 78º F daily. Yeah, it’s hot. So my favorite thing to wear right now is a darling little sundress I made in a classic 60’s silhouette. Pair it with some tights and a light cardigan, and I can pretend that it’s “winter!”

Sunny

February 6, 2013 #

This question actully made me realize that I am really not satisfied with a great deal of my wardrobe, at least right now. However,I do have a real favorite right now, and that is my thermal leggings. So comfy and warm, with enough merino to keep them really comfy.

In warm weather, my favorite garment is a cotton knit skirt with a yoga pant style foldover waistband. I own several, I love them so much.

Mallory

February 6, 2013 #

Ooh, that book looks just great. My favorite item of clothing right now might be this old bright blue wool cardigan. I hadn’t worn it in a while, since it got a hole in the elbow, but I finally got around to adding mustard yellow/brown herringbone wool elbow patches, and now I don’t want to take it off.

Anna Kamrow

I have this Gap jean skirt I got at a second hand store. It’s knee-length, got a bit of a flare to it, is so soft, and has pockets. Nothing fancy but it makes me feel comfortable.

Laura Serna

February 6, 2013 #

I am wearing a short sleeve pullover sweater (the pattern is plain and simple) that I knit for myself. It’s an olivey green and has a great open collar. I know I love it because every non-work day I reach for it and had to make myself wash it.

Rachel Marie

February 6, 2013 #

My favorite garment right now is my Pendleton Peony! I can’t stop talking about it, hehe. Oh, and I am fairly thrilled with out my Negroni is coming along :D

Not exactly high fashion, but highly functional: my work gloves. I can enjoy being outside even on the squeaky-coldest winter morning as long as my hands are warm!

February 6, 2013 #

My all-time favorite piece of clothing is still my wedding dress. It is so smooth and long, with the luster of a sea-shell. It is actually an evening dress, so I might still get to wear it again someday, if the right formal occasion comes up. My favorite item of everyday wear is currently a black corduroy full skirt that I made from a vintage 50s pattern.

Maggie Loughlin

I had to wait over half an hour in the cold biting wind for a bus tonight, so my favourite garment is a lovely thick hand knitted scarf today.
Second it’s my Pastille dress of course x
