New Digital Patterns from Liesl and Co
New Digital Patterns from Liesl and Co
During September Liesl + Co released four new digital patterns and now at Backstitch we have them up on the site ready for download. They are a great selection of styles that comprise of a casual tee, a smart dress, a casual dress and a pair of versatile culottes... we love culottes!
The Bento Tee is a funky boxy sweater tee with a dropped shoulder, slight kimono sleeve and wider neckline. There are three different sleeve options: long, three-quarter, and short with a cuff. The tee allows for some fun with fabric as, in addition to an un-seamed front and back, it can be sewn with a horizontal seam that hides two pockets - reminiscent of the Merchant and Mills Top 64.
The Cinema Dress is a grown up version of the Hide and Seek dress. We love it when Liesl goes grown up on an Oliver+S style... proves we all hanker after the Oliver+S girls dresses! This dress has a gorgeous yoke and gather detail and looks super comfortable. There is a long and shorter option. I think a shorter version of this in linen worn over jeans would look really great.
The Bistro Dress is a take on the classic sheath dress. It includes a belt and loops so that you can cinch in the waist, you can make it long or short sleeved, choose between a notched neckline or a Peter Pan collar, lined or unlined - so many options! Liesl has also included detailed instructions for a full bust adjustment (FBA) which is such a good idea as I know that many people struggle with getting the fit right in this area.
And finally, there is the Girl Friday Culottes. Now these culottes are awesome chic. More like a classic full skirt, this pattern features hidden side pockets, a hidden zipper, flattering back darts and pleats which cleverly hide the culotte rise and enforcing the skirt trick... magic!
All these patterns are available as instant download PDFs. Still nervous about digital patterns? Take a look at our blog post here.
