Quick, easy make smart dress.

I am really pleased with the Fira dress from Liesl and Co.

Clear instructions, quick and easy to make.

Although I cut the pockets I didn’t use them because I was scared they would spoil the line (and accentuate my stomach..).

Just love the Liesl and Co necklines – they really make the difference.

I used cotton piqué with a little stretch that I picked up at Torretto Tessuti in Nice – it was perfect – in fact I bought the pattern to go with the cloth.

I think the pattern sizes on the big size because I managed to fit into the 12 – so do check her measurements chart before you cut.
