The follow-up to the popular Gertie’s New Book for Better Sewing and Gertie Sews Vintage Casual, Gertie’s Ultimate Dress Book is packed with all the information and patterns you could ever need to create a wardrobe filled with stunning vintage frocks. The book begins with all the essential techniques for dressmaking and includes instructions and patterns for 23 dresses for a variety of occasions. Elements of each pattern can be mixed and matched, allowing readers to customise the bodice, skirt, sleeves, pockets and details of each dress for a truly unique creation. Review: So useful, and free patterns too! - I ordered this last week and so far am very very pleased with it! There are pattern pieces and instructions for 23 dresses, BUT, every bodice and skirt is interchangeable which means the permutations are only limited by your imagination! The sleeves and cuffs are all interchangeable too. It's a real goldmine of pattern pieces. There is a lot of information too - sewing slippery or tricky fabrics, matching patterns, hemming, setting sleeves, pattern adjustments and on and on - it's pretty much everything Gertie has ever learnt about dresses all in one place. If you're new to sewing dresses it's invaluable, if you're not new to dresses you get lots of patterns, either way I would recommend it! Review: Fantastic purchase - Beautiful book which I use over and over. The patterns are great and this is a brilliant manual to refer to all the techniques of making these beautiful dresses. I am a plus size so had to upsize the patterns but it hasn't deterred me at all. The graphics show in detail how to put together a dress and there are lots of wonderful idea's to help you 'build' your own designer dress too. Buy it, you won't be disappointed. I loved it so much I purchased a second one for my sister's Birthday. Well done Gertie!! ## Features - Suitable for all kinds of project works - Acid and toxic free - Item Package Dimension: 2.27cm L x 23.22cm W x 15.6cm H - Item Package Weight: 0.8 kg ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #181,036 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #329 in Fashion Craft #372 in Crafts & Hobbies Reference #421 in Needlework (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (438) | | Dimensions | 9.25 x 1.5 x 10.25 inches | | Edition | Spi Har/Pa | | ISBN-10 | 1617690759 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1617690754 | | Item Weight | 2.71 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Gertie's Sewing | | Print length | 236 pages | | Publication date | March 8, 2016 | | Publisher | Harry N.

There are pattern pieces and instructions for 23 dresses, BUT, every bodice and skirt is interchangeable which means the permutations are only limited by your imagination! The sleeves and cuffs are all interchangeable too. It's a real goldmine of pattern pieces. There is a lot of information too - sewing slippery or tricky fabrics, matching patterns, hemming, setting sleeves, pattern adjustments and on and on - it's pretty much everything Gertie has ever learnt about dresses all in one place. If you're new to sewing dresses it's invaluable, if you're not new to dresses you get lots of patterns, either way I would recommend it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic purchase *by K***R on 7 June 2017* Beautiful book which I use over and over. The patterns are great and this is a brilliant manual to refer to all the techniques of making these beautiful dresses. I am a plus size so had to upsize the patterns but it hasn't deterred me at all. The graphics show in detail how to put together a dress and there are lots of wonderful idea's to help you 'build' your own designer dress too. Buy it, you won't be disappointed. I loved it so much I purchased a second one for my sister's Birthday. Well done Gertie!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book but not “ultimate” *by C***E on 2 May 2024* This is a lovely, beautifully produced book, immaculately designed and proofread. The techniques for making dresses are well explained and illustrated, and make it possible to design and make your own dresses with confidence. I particularly like the way the construction process is broken down into units. Gertie’s instructions for inserting side seam pockets is delightfully straightforward. Commercial pattern instructions for pockets are usually needlessly complicated and difficult to get right. The book would be perfect if it were not for an important omission. There is no pattern, or explanations, for constructing a bodice with front button fastenings instead of the usual zipper. That would have made this truly an “ultimate” dress-making book. For a front fastening garment, you need to buy Gertie’s New Book for Better Sewing. Perhaps that was the intention! Anyone who’s ever been flummoxed by unclear sketches and inadequate instructions in commercial patterns will be so relieved to find clear guidance in this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49019107-gerties-ultimate-dress-book-a-modern-guide-to-sewing-fabulous](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49019107-gerties-ultimate-dress-book-a-modern-guide-to-sewing-fabulous) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
