I recently had the opportunity to sew up the Lamour Sarong Dress by Charm Patterns, and I absolutely loved it!

I have to say, I had the time of my life recently when I made the Lamour Dress by Charm Patterns. Based off the beloved Gertie’s iconic sarong dress pattern, this look is equal parts comfortable and snazzy – perfect for a night out! As I learned more about it, I was pleasantly surprised at how straightforward it was to put together. With an easy fit and plenty of variations, there’s countless outfits you can make with a Lamour Dress pattern! Not to mention, it’ll stand out amongst your go-to attire for sure.

The pattern was very easy to follow, and the end result was a beautiful dress that fit perfectly.

For anyone looking to make their own Lamour Dress, a sewing pattern doesn’t get any easier than this one! Gertie is great for her explanations in all her patterns and the figures provided are top notch. With just a few steps and some basic knowledge of how to use a machine, it won’t take long before you have a beautiful dress that fits like it was tailor-made. This pattern even has elements of couture features, which I was pleasantly surprised to see, this being the first pattern I have made from Charm Patterns. There may be some hiccups along the way but trust me – when you see the Lamour Dress in all its glory, it will make every stitch and seam worthwhile!

The amount of sizing options available in this pattern really blew me away.  I have always loved Indie patterns and dreaded working with some of the Big 4 pattern companies due to the excess amount of ease they always add in.  My measurements fit right into the sizing chart and it fit like a glove (I didn’t even need to create a muslin test toile).

The instructions were very thorough, which is great for the Sewist that is new to couture or more advanced techniques.  I also enjoyed the ode to the old where there were some techniques often found in vintage garments.

The sweetheart neckline on this sarong dress is a very lovely detail that adds a bit of ‘ooh-la-la’ without going over the top.  I also liked how the sarong skirt was not too restricting and I was able to have a nice day at the beach with this dress.

I always like a well-structured dress, but I would only put in the boning and underling if I was to make this dress for a special occasion.  Even though I used cotton, which is breathable, it was a bit too hot and the boning was not as comfy for a beach dress.  This would make a great staple in anyone’s vacation wardrobe (without the boning).

I would definitely recommend this pattern to anyone looking for a vintage-inspired sarong dress sewing pattern.

If you’re looking for vintage, but don’t have time to trawl through endless vintage patterns (and good luck in landing the one you want. Even if you do land that pattern, chances are it is not in your size and unless you know how to properly grade a pattern, a vintage inspired sewing pattern fits the bill – and this is the pattern for you! I would highly recommend this vintage-inspired sarong dress sewing pattern as it will help you bring vintage visions to life. Not only does it boast a vintage silhouette that livens up any wardrobe but more importantly, it showcases your creative ability. With this sewing pattern, vintage dreams will be within easy reach without the need for hours spent rummaging through racks.
