I truly believe there are countless amazing ways to create and style our new Saint-Germain Wrap Dress pattern. Isn’t that what makes sewing so wonderful? It gives you the freedom to showcase your unique personality and preferences while crafting a dress that fits you perfectly—whether you prefer a shorter or longer hemline, sleeve length, or any other customization you desire. Plus, there's an incredible sense of accomplishment that comes with making something with your own hands!
When choosing fabrics for this dress, think lightweight, flowy materials such as viscose/rayon, tencel, double gauze, and cotton lawn. Lightweight linens also work beautifully. On the other hand, sturdier fabrics like cotton poplin or sateen will yield a more structured look, similar to the pink floral version of View A on the pattern envelope. Using these types of fabrics is perfectly acceptable, but be aware that the outcome will differ slightly compared to using drapable fabrics.
As someone who loves offering tips within my patterns, let me share a suggestion here. If you're looking for some gorgeous drapey fabrics, check out the Atelier Brunette website. They offer a range of fabrics available at independent stores globally, which could be perfect for projects like this one.
To spark your creativity, I've gathered some images below to serve as inspiration for this style. Personally, I'm currently drawn to darker prints, perhaps because it’s winter and they seem fitting during colder months. Alternatively, my wardrobe tends toward darker hues, so that might influence my preferences.
If you're planning to sew the Saint-Germain for spring or summer, consider opting for softer prints or brighter colors instead. Solid colors or nearly-solid fabrics would also be fantastic choices. Last summer, I had a conversation with a friend who owns a charming boutique nearby. A tourist walked in wearing an absolutely stunning long floral dress, and instantly, I envisioned all the floral beauties we could create using this pattern for next year’s season. I’m fully supportive of this idea.
For even more ideas and visuals of this style, visit my Liesl + Co Saint-Germain Wrap Dress Pinterest folder.
The inspiration behind this design leans heavily into classic Parisian girl style—effortless, feminine, confident, elegant, and a touch playful. However, feel free to put your personal stamp on it by selecting fabrics that reflect your individual taste. Although my style doesn't typically lean toward traditional femininity, I adore my Saint-Germain dress and will feature it in my upcoming post.
How do you plan to craft your Saint-Germain Wrap Dress? You can purchase the pattern in either paper or digital formats. Don’t forget to tag us using #saintgermaindress and #lieslandco when you complete yours. I’m excited to see how it turns out!
