Louisa dress pattern by Compagnie M.

Hello, everyone! Guess who's still alive? :)

I'm emerging from my loooong silence today to introduce to you a wonderful pattern for little girls, the Louisa dress by Compagnie M.

As per its description, the Louisa dress is "a vintage inspired pattern with a modern twist. Unique pockets and three back options make this a versatile pattern. Add lining according to the season and enjoy this pattern the whole year round."
The pattern includes sizes: from 1y to 10y.

Compagnie M. and I teamed up to translate this pattern, (understandably) their best seller, into Italian (the Louisa dress is also available in English, French, German and Dutch).
I really want to help spreading the love for indie patterns in my country, so I feel it's almost my duty to give my contribution as a trained translator.
And this week the Louisa dress pattern is touring around some amazing Italian blogs to celebrate its new language!

I was supposed to present to you my version today, but as I'm a very bad, disorganized blogger (as you might have noticed in the last few months), I didn't manage to finish the dress I was making for my niece Caterina in time, so that will have to wait. In the meantime, enjoy the wonderful creations by the other Italian bloggers included in the tour so far:

Dotta Sews - My Cute Sewing
 Mademoiselle Chou Chou - Mamma Craft
Mamma 190
So good, right?
Although I have nothing to show, I can't recommend this pattern enough. The design is just adorable (with that vintage touch I just can't resist), the instructions are extremely detailed (meaning: beginner friendly) and once you print this huge pdf (only downside I could find), this project is guaranteed immediate gratification.

If you want to celebrate with us, you can purchase the Louisa dress pattern with a 10% discount until tomorrow using the code LOUISA-INTRO.
(And if, like me, you're not too much into kids patterns, just know that Compagnie M. just started releasing women's patterns, like the Lotta skirt pattern... just sayin').
