I had the honor recently of being a pattern tester for
CompagnieM. I tested her
Louisa dress which is 10% off from now until Dec 7th (23:59 CET time zone) with the code
Louisa10off. Her pattern is for the experienced beginner or intermediate sewer. The Louisa pattern includes references to very helpful tutorials for sewing an invisible zipper, adding bias tape, and making your own bias tape. This was my first time sewing a pattern my CompagnieM. and I found her instructions clear and easy to follow. Pictures are included with each step. The Louisa dress pattern provides many opportunities for creativity with three back options. Also, if you have purchased her Mara blouse, the sleeves from this pattern can be used on the Louisa pattern. (For those who have not purchased the Mara blouse, CompagnieM. is offering a
2pack where you can purchase both patterns for 12 euros.)
CompagnieM.'s description of this dress sums it up perfectly:
The
Louisa Dress by CompagnieM. is a vintage inspired pattern with a modern
twist. Unique pockets and three back options make this a versatile
pattern. Add lining according to the season and enjoy this pattern the
whole year round.
I chose the horizontal back option and fully lined the dress so my daughter can wear it this winter.
I made this dress in size 4 for my daughter who will be 5 in January. I made the dress 2 inches longer than the pattern since my daughter is tall.
