This dress is definitely going to be a piece I reach for in my wardrobe all the time, and I know I will be using this pattern many more times! It's comfy and and easy to throw on, but the lace details and french seams really make it so elegant and pretty.

This is such a versatile dress pattern, depending on fabric choice it look super romantic or modern and edgy. There are endless ways to customize it to your taste. The construction leaves you with a beautifully finished interior without the need for a serger. I can't wait to make another one!

The Leonie dress is such a pleasure to sew, I love the mix and match options and the fact that I could grow my sewing skills by trying new techniques like the lace insertion which isn’t super common in other patterns. I will be making more Leonie dresses and experimenting with mixing pattern pieces to create unique dresses that feel like ‘me’. If you’ve not sewn a Gold & Sky you’ll be pleasantly surprised but the drafting and the level of detail in the instructions.

What a classic, beautiful dress pattern this is. It is the type of dress you make over and over. The best part is learning to insert lace in a way that is beautiful and clean. I made view C and love the added ruffle and lace insertion. Feminine, beautiful, and functional.

This is the perfect romantic dress for a hot summer day! The options are endless and you will have a hard time choosing only one dress (so you will probably need to make lots more

As an advanced beginner, I found this pattern a pleasure to sew. The instructions and illustrations are very clear, and I was able to tackle several new techniques with confidence, including my first invisible zipper. I love how versatile the design is and how comfortable the dress is to wear, both during pregnancy and beyond. I will definitely be making more versions!

The Leonie pattern was so fun to make. I loved the option to make it breastfeeding friendly and all the combinations that can be put together. As I was making it I thought of other ways I could combine it to make more. Definitely a summer staple!

Ce patron de robe bohême est à la fois facile à coudre et à porter. Les instructions de montage nous prennent par la main, elles sont très précises et détaillées. J'apprécie beaucoup les différentes options qui permettent de coudre des modèles variés. L'option allaitement est facile à coudre et très pratique au quotidien pour les mamans allaitantes.

If you’re looking for a romantic, easy-to-wear summer dress, this is it. The Leonie Dress includes three views that you can mix and match to create the version that suits your style. I personally combined Views B and C, and the finished dress is beautiful. The fit is flattering and comfortable, with enough ease to make it wearable in warm weather without feeling bulky. If you’re new to sewing with lace, this is an excellent project to learn on. The instructions are clear, detailed, and easy to follow, and everything is broken down in a way that feels approachable. Construction comes together smoothly overall. I would just suggest taking your time with lace placement and seams since those small details really elevate the final look. Overall, it’s a satisfying make that looks more complicated than it actually is, which is always a win!

Sierra@sierrastclair

This pattern was a breeze! A quick sew, you can finish everything in a day. This is the perfect “errand dress” for hot summer days, and it’s so versatile you can make it over and over again with different details and lengths. Overall a 10/10!

Loise does it again! I would consider myself an intermediate sewist yet there were still techniques I learned from this pattern! Loise is able to illustrate and explain techniques in the simplest of ways. Not only does this pattern contain three different versions but other options to provide even more combinations. I’ve always been hesitant to try invisible zippers but thanks to this pattern, I now have that skill down! The new techniques I learned in this pattern will open up many possibilities in my sewing projects moving forward! I also look forward to Loise’s techniques and suggestions. Loise continues to impress me with her work! This pattern was extremely quick too! Sometime I was able to complete in one day even balancing regular day activities with my little ones!

Bethany@thats.sew.bethany

Loïse has created a timeless design with beautiful details in a simple and accessible way to even a beginner sewing. The instructions are clear, concise and easy to follow. The creative design possibilities this pattern offers are endless! Make one, make one hundred! This is a summer wardrobe staple!

Natalie, Leonie Dress
Natalie@buttersew

I absolutely love the simple, romantic, flowy design of this dress! I love to pattern hack garments to fit my preference and the three views of this pattern allow you to mix and match. The best part of this pattern for me is the inclusion of a side zipper option to make the dress nursing friendly. It is a great pattern for beginners as the instructions and illustrations are very thorough, but also a great sew for a more advanced sewist as well! I will definitely be making more in the future!

Caroline, Leonie Dress
Caroline@lestudiocaro

La robe parfaite pour l'été ! Une robe facile à coudre et très confortable, avec de belles finitions (coutures anglaises, peu de surjet apparent). Le livret et les dessins techniques, parfaitement réalisés, rendent la couture fluide, et ce, quelques soit la version choisie.
