Edelweiss Patterns ~Liesl’s Dancing Dress for an Anniversary~
A customer bought the Liesl dress pattern to make a dress for the anniversary Mass and evening of celebrations of the pictured couple. They enjoyed a ballroom dance lesson after the Mass and cake!
She writes,”Thanks for this pattern. We enjoyed working on it. I was a total beginner and my sewing teacher looked at me like I was crazy when I walked into class with this. But we did it in eight lessons. I used two layers of lightweight cotton. (I knew I could not handle the chiffons). It worked really well for me as a beginner to use the lightweight cottons. The under layer was almost hot pink and the outer layer was a very pale pink and put together I thought it looked very nice. The only other change was that I added an extra layer of trim ribbon at the waist.”
Can you believe she is a beginner seamstress? If “Liesl’s Dancing Dress” is one of her first projects, I’d say she’s off to a pretty good start! The sewing is impeccable, and everything from the curved yoke and circular hem to the fluttery sleeves are perfectly sewn. It’s absolutely beautiful! Excellent work!
If you have pictures of dresses made from Edelweiss Patterns you’d like me to post here, feel free to email them to me and I will be happy to put them up.
Happy sewing!
