We've reimagined this iconic Mimi G design in a new hue. Using purple stripes for the two-piece top and pants co-ord and layering an amethyst chiffon shirtdress duster over the top this creates something very different to the original envelope inspiration. The duster would look equally good in organza for a stiffer effect.

This bodysuit and pants set is another great example of fall dressing. The rich aubergine pant makes the button front details pop and paired with a heathered lilac bodysuit you get a dreamy combo, perfect for cooler days. The pants feature slash pockets and back pockets with flaps.

The glamour of a violet purple suit set is enhanced by the eyecatching design. It sits off the shoulder with pointed neckline and double breasted button closure. Long sleeves highlight the bare shoulders too. The semi-fitted, high-rise pants have flared legs to balance the shape. Don't forget this is a Multi-Cup Size pattern - Separate bodice pattern pieces are included for cup sizes A, B, C, D.

From Butterick, a hidden gem from our back catalog. This 1940s dress has a curved shoulder detail and raised funnle neck, and is fitted with long double pleats down the centre front. But made in a floral purple cotton, it looks thoroughly modern and could be layered with a cardigan or blazer for the office.

This top pattern is so versatile. The variations include the scarf inspired neckline tie shown here, and a classic pussybow, as well as a simple clean neckline finish. Made in pale mauve and paired with a deep plum pant to ground the look.

High glamour in lavender silk. This bias cut dress looks stunning in high shine fabrics with its French darts, drop-waist and flared skirt. It also includes separate pattern pieces for A, B, C and D cup sizes, to help you get the best fit possible.
