Hello friends! I'm thrilled to kick things off by introducing you to our latest collection of sewing patterns!
If you're someone who loves the idea of a dress or top that strikes a balance between relaxed and tailored, the new Fira Dress + Top is exactly what you've been waiting for.
This piece is designed to hug your body gently without being overly boxy or tight. It's fitted enough to create some shape but remains incredibly comfortable. Whether you prefer to wear it solo, layered underneath, or even over other pieces, the versatility of the Fira is unmatched. It's truly your choice.
Take a look at these images—aren't they stunning? The collar has a subtle stand that beautifully frames the face. This design element is something we also incorporated into our Fitzroy Blouse and Yanaka Jacket. The V-neck is another highlight; it's not something you see every day, and it adds a touch of elegance that works perfectly with layers. Pair it with a turtleneck, crew neck, or even a shawl collar—it all looks fantastic.

The shoulder yoke is another standout feature. It provides a flattering fit while allowing for soft gathers that give you more room to move comfortably. The sleeves are cut-on, eliminating the hassle of setting in traditional sleeves. Inside, the yoke is cleanly finished for a polished look. Now that I think about it, if you plan ahead a bit, this style could easily be made reversible. How cool would that be?

At the back, there are gentle gathers near the center to offer additional ease and enhance the silhouette. To save fabric and add structure, the back panel isn't cut on the fold—it includes a seam. This also makes it simple to sew in the walking vent, which is a practical yet stylish touch.

And let's talk about the practicality—on-seam pockets and cup sizes mean you won't have to fuss with adjusting the bust darts yourself. As a pull-on style, there are no buttons or zippers to deal with, which I know many of you will appreciate.

For those of you who adore our Oliver + S children's patterns, consider this style my adult version of the Ice Cream Dress. While the construction shares similarities, the styling is more mature, tailored specifically for a woman's figure.

I'll be back shortly with some fab fabric and styling tips, just like always. In the meantime, you can grab your very own copy of this pattern starting this Friday morning—both in paper and digital formats. I can't wait to see what you create with it! Don't forget to tag your projects with #lieslandco and #firadresstop so we can cheer you on along the way.
Oh, and here's a quick video I put together to give you a closer look at the Fira Dress + Top and how it moves.
