Sound of Music Costumes Now Available as Vintage Patterns from Edelweiss Pattern Company

Edelweiss Patterns releases a pattern for Liesl's Sound of Music costume! This pattern is perfect for vintage dress enthusiasts, Sound of Music fans, and, of course, the Sound of Music stageplay! Stay tuned for more Sound of Music costume patterns!
 
Jan. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Sound of Music fans, rejoice!  Edelweiss Patterns has just released their first pattern design, "Liesl's Dancing Dress", a lovely chiffon number with the same billowy sleeves, fluttery skirt, and beribboned bodice that fans have admired for the last forty-six years!  This pattern was birthed after owner/designer Katrina Casey discovered that no vintage pattern company had released a dress for Sound of Music costumes, and she then set out to change that.  Says Katrina, "I can remember admiring the dress since I was a little girl, and I know so many other ladies have been enraptured with it, as well.  I think hardly any other dress so well captures the charm of feminine clothing, and that's something that modern fashion has been missing for quite some time.  This pattern really encapsulates the innocence of lovely femininity without indecency, and I feel that's why it's had such a positive response."  
    When asked what her plans for the future are, Katrina admits that she has another pattern in the works, and looks forward to taking on more Sound of Music costume projects in the months to come.  "I want these patterns to be an inspiration not only to theatrical seamstresses, but home sewers as well.  One of the blessings about Edelweiss Patterns is that now theater groups who are producing the Sound Music stageplay have a reliable source for reproduction costumes.  So many productions in the past have used the standard sailor suits, but when it comes to the other garments, they fall back on the typical dirndl option.  While these dirndl dresses may be authentic to the era, they're not authentic to most of the film, and audiences connect better with the actors and actresses if they're more instantly recognizable.  And with today's interest in vintage clothing, what could be more exciting for a Sound of Music fan than to wear the Liesl dress as a prom or party dress?"
   If the costume patterns weren't enough already, Edelweiss Patterns is also offering excellent resources for making store-bought clothing modest.  On their website you may notice the "Modesty Solutions" tab which contains photos of beautiful stretch lace trims which ladies can use to fill in low-cut tops and dresses.  They also sell an informative e-book that shows how to take nearly any garment, whether casual or formal, and make it suitable to wear.  These methods are all explained in detail along with full color photographs illustrating the instructions given.   "If there's one thing I've heard about the e-book and stretch laces, its been, 'Oh, now I can actually buy tops from the store again!'  And I know what that feels like, since for years I experienced discouragement and sadness when trying to shop for clothes.  Apparently the clothing industry doesn't realize that many women do not appreciate such skimpy styles and would never feel comfortable wearing something that looks more like a swimsuit than an outfit!  This is how I came to discover the methods for altering clothing, and I'm thankful that now many other women are discovering these solutions as well."
   Finally, Edelweiss Patterns sells beautiful veils and chiffon flowers designed to make any wedding more elegant.  With their wholesale prices, you can have your entire wedding party decked out in chiffon flowers used as corsages, hair accessories, or embellishments on sashes.  You could even add these flowers to bridal purses, bouquets, or high heels!
