Lori dropped by the Advisors Circle recently to share her Weekend Getaway Blouse with pleats tutorial, and now she's back with another fantastic creation. Thank you so much for joining us, Lori!
A new dress pattern from Liesl + Co. always gets me excited, and I couldn't wait to sew the Terrace Dress. Liesl shared some amazing inspiration in a recent blog post, and I fell in love with the dress featuring a shirt-tail hem. It's such a versatile design!
For my version, I chose a striking red-and-cream seersucker fabric from Mood Fabrics and decided on a size Medium. While I appreciated the A-line silhouette, I opted for a straighter dress instead. To achieve this, I adjusted the side seams to make them straighter. Then, using my French curve, I created a gently curved hem. If you have a favorite pattern—such as the Gallery Dress, Classic Shirt, or Recital Shirt—that includes similar details, feel free to borrow that design element. I made sure the front and back hemlines matched up perfectly.
The construction of this dress is straightforward, and Liesl’s instructions are top-notch. However, I did make a few tweaks to personalize it. I deepened the neckline slightly, lowered the bust dart by an inch, and narrowed the center back seam by about an inch from the neckline down to just below my hips. In future versions, I might even eliminate the center back seam altogether, except if I'm working with a solid fabric like linen, where topstitching along the seam would add a nice touch.
The belt was the perfect opportunity to add some contrast. I picked a denim fabric for the front piece and trimmed about half an inch off the top and bottom widths. I absolutely love how the denim contrasts beautifully with the seersucker, adding a pop of color and interest to the overall design.
The Terrace Dress is an excellent summer wardrobe staple—it’s quick and easy to sew. From cutting out the pieces to finishing touches, it took me just over two hours. And with a few pattern adjustments, each iteration can feel completely unique. For instance, imagine a V-neck version or adding ties to the side seams for a playful summer vibe.
This dress is not only perfect for summer but also works well as a transitional piece into spring with its sleeve options. I’m thrilled Liesl gave me the chance to add this dress to my collection. It’s definitely going to be a go-to for warm weather outfits.
If you're looking to sew up some of these fabulous summer dresses, consider experimenting with different fabrics and styles to make each one special. Happy sewing!
