Thank you for taking a look at my Louisa dress!
My first This is the very first Louisa dress I make and my first Compagnie M creation. It is even the very first winter dress I make. That means also the first time using lining, putting in sleeves, making piping myself, even the first time adding a (blind!) zipper.
As a young (ahum) mother, I decided to start sewing for my little one about a year ago. I started buying nice fabrics (like this one from Petit Pan), but the fabrics remained piled up as an unfulfilled promise to wonderful creations. Until, in December, I accidentally saw a picture on the internet of a lovely, really lovely dress. Indeed, it was the Louisa dress. I impulsively bought the pattern, with the intention to practice first on some easier garments.
The pattern was put in the closet, but I could not stop thinking how lovely the dress would be. The tutorial seemed really clear, so I skipped the practice and in January, I decided to make this dress. Thanks to the nice tutorials on the Compagnie M blog, I succeeded.
My love I made this Louisa dress for my little love, Nina Elise (16 months old). As I thought it would take me a lot more time to finish it, I made the 2 year version. I shortened the dress quite a bit, as well as the sleeves (I used the long sleeves from the Mara blouse), as I want to put it on to her already. My daughter gets ecstatic when she sees the nice dress/fabric, but as she doesn’t stand, nor walk independently, I couldn’t take pictures of her wearing my creation. My Louisa Everything comes together in this dress; my first + my love = my Louisa.
The pics you see here are from Nina Elise’s dress, being modelled by her lovely niece Emiliana, who is 2y. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Thanks Compagnie M, for making me want to sew.
Maar zo mooi zeg, prachtige stofkeuze!
Bedankt, Mieke! Ik vind jouw creatie ook heel mooi en origineel. Ik heb zelf al zin om het te maken.

Hoe schattig…
Bedankt, Dominique!
Hier klopt iets niet met een “vertaler”,maar ik blijf het mooi en schattig vinden…
Wil je dat ik iets vertaal?
Lovely! You are so talented!
Btw, when you say ‘niece Emiliana’, do you by any chance mean ‘cousin’? ;-)
Thanks, Xiao!
And you are right, Emiliana is my niece, but Nina Elise’s cousin. Thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately, I cannot make corrections to the text anymore.
Ik zag het al ‘in de maak’ en ‘t is supermooi! Heel netjes afgewerkt!
Bedankt voor de mooi woorden, Hanne!
