Joanna has done a lovely job with the Liesl dress pattern!

 

Hello, Ladies!  Here are some gorgeous “Liesl dress” pictures which Joanna of “Jo-With-Its-Portfolio” just sent in.  She purchased our “Liesl’s Dancing Dress” pattern to make this costume for her seventeenth birthday, and it turned out beautifully!

Joanna did a lovely lettuce hem edge just like the pattern suggests.

 

 Joanna writes, “Dear Katrina,
Hello!  I made my Liesl dress back in June for my 17th birthday party.  I’ve finally gotten outside and taken some decent pictures of it, so I thought I would send them your way.  Thanks so much for the lovely pattern!  I’m very happy with my dress.

You can read her full pattern review of the “Liesl’s Dancing Dress” pattern here.  She also describes how the entire birthday party danced “The Laendler” from The Sound of Music, and jumped from bench to bench just like Liesl did!

Chiffon is the ideal fabric to achieve those billowy sleeves.

  1. This is a really inspiring site, I used to make all my own clothes but have not done any sewing for years. Your body shape seems very similar to mine and I would like to see every design modelled by you, so I can be sure it would suit me. Could you tell me how tall you are? The styles are so much more flattering than current stuff, I can not wait to get sewing again. Thank you so much. Kathy

    1. Hello Joyce,

      Glad you like the website! I am 5 ft. 3 inches, so a little shorter than average.

      Happy sewing,

      Katrina

  2. I want to purchase one of these dresses how much are they and do you sell them?

    1. Hello, Lauren!

      I don’t usually sell the dresses themselves, but occasionally I make one for a customer if my schedule permits. If you want more information you can contact me at info@edelweisspatterns.com .

      Thank you!
