The Simplicity website may not have been updated yet. The dress patterns are 2881 and 2887. The chemise, corset and drawers pattern is 2890. Very often, McCalls, Butterick, Vogue, and Simplicity new pattern books and patterns are available at major fabric stores before the websites get updated. Look for the "Summer" Simplicity book. My local JoAnn's in Omaha, NE had it, so others must too. There is also a men's c1880's gambler, Wild West, whatever pattern, maybe inspired by the movie "There Will be Blood" or HBO series "Deadwood." I was kind of disappointed that there were no new patterns for circa 1300-1800, with summer RenFaires. Hoping the Martha McCain 18th century patterns(last I heard, she was researching them as Simplicity supposedly thought the Civil War period was "done).

I was on the Simplicity website and didn't see anything new, even under the "New Items" that I hadn't seen before. Help please!
