Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to kick things off by introducing you to our latest collection of sewing patterns!
If you’re someone who loves a relaxed yet stylish fit in dresses or tops without going overly oversized, the new Fira Dress + Top is definitely your kind of design. It strikes that perfect balance between comfort and elegance.
The Fira is a pull-on dress or tunic that gently skims your silhouette without being clingy or suffocating. It’s fitted enough to flatter your figure but remains loose enough to feel effortless. Whether you prefer layering it under something or wearing it solo, this dress offers versatility. You can pair it with a cozy turtleneck underneath or wear it over a blouse for a chic layered look. If you're feeling adventurous, adding a shawl collar on top would look absolutely stunning.
Check out these images to get a better idea of its design:

One of the standout features of the Fira is its slightly raised collar that frames your face beautifully. This detail is inspired by similar styles we’ve used in the Fitzroy Blouse and the Yanaka Jacket. The V-neck is another unique touch that adds a touch of sophistication and works perfectly with layering pieces. It pairs effortlessly with turtlenecks, crew necks, and even shawl collars if you’re into that vibe.
Here's a closer look at some additional details:



The shoulder yoke adds a touch of structure and soft gathers that provide extra room for movement and accommodate different bust sizes. The sleeves are cut-on, eliminating the hassle of setting in sleeves. Inside, the yoke is cleanly finished for a professional finish—something I personally adore. Speaking of professionalism, if you plan ahead, this style could easily be made reversible. How cool would that be?
Let’s talk about the back now. There are gentle gathers in the center back, not only providing ease of movement but also adding an elegant detail. Instead of cutting the back on fold, it includes a seam, which helps conserve fabric while enhancing the dress's shape. This design choice also makes it easier to sew in a walking vent—a practical feature that many of you will appreciate.

And let’s not forget the practicality of this pattern. On-seam pockets ensure convenience, and cup sizes mean no need to adjust bust darts yourself. As a pull-on style, there are no buttons or zippers to deal with—perfect for those who value simplicity.
Here’s a sneak peek at the pocket detail:

We’ve also included the walking vent at the back, adding both functionality and flair.

For those of you who enjoy our Oliver + S children’s patterns, think of the Fira as the adult version of the Ice Cream Dress. While the construction is similar, the styling leans a bit more mature, catering specifically to a woman’s body.

Stay tuned for more fabric and styling tips soon! In the meantime, you can grab your copy of this pattern starting this Friday in either paper or digital format. I’d love to see what you create with it. Don’t forget to tag your projects with #lieslandco and #firadresstop so we can follow along!
