My New Dress Book! A Sneak Peek


I just got my copy of Gertie's Ultimate Dress Book and I couldn't wait to share a few pages with you! It's such an exciting day when the postman brings that first copy. This is my biggest book yet and I practically sewed my little fingers off making all the dresses!

Like my other books, it was illustrated by Sun Young Park. Her tonal chapter openers are so gorgeous.



And here are a few of the dresses! The lovely photos are by Karen Pearson. With 23 designs, there's something for everyone. And the mix-and-match aspect of the patterns means that you can change things up to your own taste. (There are five bodices, six skirts, six sleeves, collars, cuffs, and more!)

There are simple day dresses . . .


Fun party and date dresses . . .

Office wear . . .


And even a wedding dress!


I'll be doing some posts with more details on the patterns and designs, but for now I just wanted to give you a little bit of the flavor of the book.

More to come!
