The Festival dress? I actually made this for Sophie a lonnnggg time ago (okay, it was last summer I think LOL) but I'm making one for Candy's Emma out of MUNKI and I don't want to screw it up. :lol: I checked the Otto-Eng yahoo group, but no directions there for this pattern/issue. Specifically, I'm wondering about seam allowances and which pieces need them added (sleeves, collar, etc).

Any help would be appreciated! :happy:

Here's last year's dress, for reference...

Oh shoot, I jumped up all excited there before your pic loaded . . . I just painstakingly translated #16 last week or so. Uggggh that process is not fun - I usually use this several translations at once (http://translation.langenberg.com/), which gives me a few different things to compare, then go to the individual sewing terms on the Yahoo group and that pretty much gets me there.

Is this what everyone does, I wonder? I hope someone has it for you!

Well, I'm just winging it. I made it before, so I hope it comes out okay. I just decided to cut/do the skirt parts first and then do the bodice so I'm sure to cut it out right. I wasn't sure about the top of the skirt because it's very um, squirly.... So I didn't add seam allowances...

Checking out your link now for the translator, thanks!
