Lori recently visited us from the Advisors Circle to share her Weekend Getaway Blouse tutorial, and now she's back with another fantastic creation. Thank you so much, Lori, for taking the time to join us!
I was absolutely thrilled when Liesl + Co. released their new Terrace Dress pattern. Their recent blog post provided such inspiring ideas, especially the dress with the shirttail hem. It seemed like the perfect project to try out.
For my version, I chose a vibrant red-and-cream seersucker fabric from Mood Fabrics. I decided on a size Medium, but I personally prefer a straight silhouette rather than the A-line skirt. To achieve this, I adjusted the side seams to be straighter. Using my French curve, I also created a curved hemline. If you have a favorite pattern, like the Gallery Dress, Classic Shirt, or Recital Shirt, you can borrow similar details to personalize your own design. One important tip I’d recommend is ensuring the front and back curves match perfectly.
The sewing process for this dress was incredibly straightforward, thanks to Liesl’s clear instructions. However, I made a few tweaks to suit my personal style. I deepened the neckline slightly, lowered the bust dart by an inch, and narrowed the center back seam by an inch from the neckline down to just below my hips. In the future, I might consider eliminating the center back seam entirely—unless, of course, you're working with a solid fabric like linen, where the seam adds a nice topstitching detail.
For the belt, I wanted to add some contrast, so I opted for a piece of denim fabric. I trimmed about half an inch off both the top and bottom edges of the belt. The denim not only adds a pop of color but also gives the dress a bold, modern touch that complements the seersucker beautifully.
The Terrace Dress is an excellent choice for summer wear—it’s quick to sew and looks fantastic every time. From cutting out the pattern to finishing the dress, it took me just over two hours. With a few simple modifications, like a V-neckline or side-seam ties, you can create a completely unique look each time you sew it.
I particularly love how versatile this dress is. The sleeve option makes it a great transitional piece for spring, while the overall design ensures it’s perfect for those warm summer days. I’m so grateful to Liesl for allowing me to add this dress to my wardrobe.
Take a look at the Terrace Dress pattern, and don’t hesitate to experiment with different fabrics and details to make it truly your own. Imagine creating a whole collection of these stylish summer dresses!
In conclusion, the Terrace Dress is a must-have for any sewing enthusiast. Whether you’re looking for something breezy and casual or something a little more polished, this pattern delivers. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did!
