The Liesl Dress is a classic fit and flare style with a modern comfortable fit. It originally came from a 1950's sewing pattern and was inspired by the fun and nostalgia of The Sound Of Music!
This feminine, well balanced design suits a variety of body shapes and sizes and strikes the perfect balance between tailoring and everyday wearability. Those who are breastfeeding will love the button front.

- Vintage buttons
- Cap sleeves
- Neatly fitted to the body at the smallest point on the waist so it's very flattering, but not too tight

SIZING INFO
Sizing and fit is average to generous. First model is tall with a small bust wearing size 10. Second model is tall with average bust wearing size 12 of an older version of this style. Due to the working button front, those with a very big bust may like to go up a size to avoid the gaps between buttons gaping/tugging slightly.
The measurements below are taken by laying the garment flat – just measure a dress of your own that fits well and compare. Hip measurements are not included as a variety of lovely sized and shaped bottoms!
