Thank you, Charity!! YES!!! It’s our “fall fabric” outfit for the year – well, technically, we have another one for EA. This one just kind of “happened”.

Thanks, Shelley! We’ve got one more to share . . . and then we’ll be dreaming about designs while we work through some fabric destashing :).

Oh, this is beautiful!! I love the tie collar… and the details like the hem facing and princess seams really add to the effect! The fullness of the skirt is really pretty too.
Also… do I see ‘Fall fabric’? 😉

Todd’s right, there are now words for how pretty this is.
Love the colour combinations and the restrained use of the print. It’s perfect!!
The Ashley Suzanne unstoppable dress creating force will be a joy to watch. Pass the popcorn!

Todd! You are quite welcome . . . it all started with Liesl’s vision, and a nudge / push to get us going on making alterations. Oliver + S has given us the confidence to tackle projects we never thought were feasible. Thank you for believing in the creative minds of sewists, and investing the time, energy, and effort to make this book a reality!

We have laughed thinking about what EA might do if we took her shopping . . . for real . . .{not just to a fabric store}!! She might not wear anything we made her again.

Thanks, Emily!! You are going to have FUN with this book . . . Here’s to a full weekend of sewing, maybe?!?!

Awww, thanks!! We tossed around trying to make the Nashville class too . . . it’s that good, we’d go for a 2nd round. You are going to love it! Maybe we can make it up for the “book signing”.

Allison, Liesl has a post that answers that question on the Oliver + S blog today. https://oliverands.com/community/blog/2016/09/building-block-dress-for-knits-and-a-few-other-things.html

I don’t think it’s possible to say how truly lovely that dress is and how adorable your model is! Thank you for doing such beautiful work with Liesl’s new book and for your kind words about it.

What will these poor children do when they grow up and go shopping? Nothing will be made with the quality or love that you include. Maybe you could start a formal or two for the future!

This dress is just lovely! Do you know if it is possible to tailor the pattern for knit fabric as well?

I love the colors, piping, and fun pockets! The contrast hem facing is myour favorite though! I can’t believe how big EA is getting! Gorgeous girl and pictures. Love the review too. I hope my copy comes today!

Needless to say I ordered and am trying to figure out how to get to one of Liesl’s workshops!! So love the dress featured on EA too.
