Dixie started the topic Terrace dress for maternity in the forum liesl + co: terrace dress 5 years ago

Hi! I’m sewing the terrace dress for the first time. I’m making it for myself to match my daughter’s dress (made from the building block dress book, so fun), and I just found out I’m expecting my 4th baby (hurray!). I’d like the dress to fit me through the summer, so say until about 7 months. For those of you who have sewn it before, is it…[Read more]

Thank you.. it does help… I had made it several times and was not sure so I adjusted shoulder everytime.. and it just never looked quite right.. I am cutting one today as designed and I betcha it will be perfect.. thank you much!

Yes, they are moderately dropped because of the sleeve style and the less fitted structure of the dress. I hope that helps!

Thank you, that helps! Now i can finish this weekend.

Apologies for the delay in replying! I finally had a chance to look at this, and it appears that we replaced the dots with notches at the top edge of the front and back skirt pieces. I’ll make a note to fix this on the instructions, and I apologize for the confusion!

Hi Lisa,
Sorry for the late reply. Can you specify which pattern piece you’re referring to. Or which step in the instructions.
Are you working from the paper pattern or a print out if the PDF?
I can look at the printed pattern and see if I can help, but not having made it before I’m not sure which piece has gathering.

The pattern says to stitch the gathering between the dots, I have no dots. Where do I start and stop the stitching?

Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Anyone know of a tried and true cocoon dress pattern? in the forum off topic 5 years ago

Hi Heidi. There are heaps of these type of dress patterns out there, especially among the indie pattern companies.
For me, I’d start with the dropped sleeve bodice, so I’d use either the maritime tee, or the weekend getaway patterns for the bodice (for the weekend getaway, just cut on the Gold and omit the facings) then just drafting the length…[Read more]
Heidi started the topic Anyone know of a tried and true cocoon dress pattern? in the forum off topic 5 years ago

Hi everyone! This is my first post to the forum. I have purchased some amazing linen which I plan to dye and would like to recreate a Rachel Craven cocoon dress.

I’m having the hardest time finding a similar pattern. It doesn’t look like a difficult style of dress to make, so I’m wondering if people just make their own patterns when they want to…[Read more]

Exactly! Thanks.
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic what would you choose? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 5 years ago

I’m all about shorts at the moment, so I’d plump for Sandbox pants as shorts with love heart shaped pockets!
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic what would you choose? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 5 years ago

Ooh, tough one! Have you asked on the FB group? That’s where most of the discussion is these days, and I’m sure you’d get lots of suggestions if it’s not too late for you to start yet…
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Plaid? in the forum liesl + co: bistro dress 5 years ago

I think it should be fine. You might want to interface the neckline just to help it keep its shape, but a drapey fabric might be nice! I hope you’ll show us how it turns out.
