We’ve continued to be so surprised at how much you all love the Liesl + Co. Cappuccino Dress + Tunic pattern. And because you love it so much, you’ve convinced us to release it in paper<\/a> for the first time. (Do you remember a long time ago when I mentioned that this was a possibility?)<\/p>\n

There’s a whole story behind this pattern, which you can read in my original introductory post<\/a> for the digital pattern. But the more important part of this pattern are the details that make it special.<\/p>\n

I think a lot of the love for this pattern comes from thee fun pockets on the dress version. They create an interesting line, and who doesn’t love pockets? But a lot of you have also expressed a love for the V-neck, which I think is really flattering to busts of every size. (The original pattern was best suited to smaller busts.) Our model in the photo below had a much fuller bust than I do, and the pattern fit both of us equally well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The pattern also features a simple kimono sleeve and a slightly relaxed fit with gentle shaping at the sides. Which means that it skims the body but still flatters your curves. It’s a cute top or dress. I like to wear it in the tunic style, which doesn’t have the pockets.<\/p>\n

In terms of inspiration, there are many, many versions of this dress and tunic on the Liesl + Co Pinterest board<\/a> so you can see how it fits and what your friends have done with the pattern. I have one crucial inspirational image for you, which I just love. Try sewing the dress in a solid-colored linen or triple gauze for this look. (And you could even turn the gathers into pleats if you want!)<\/p>\n

For fabrics, in my original post I suggested quilting cotton, chambray, lawn, shirting, poplin, broadcloth, sateen, voile, linen, fine-wale corduroy, or wool crepe. That’s a pretty extensive list, yes? I’ve seen a few versions done in knit fabric as well. Have fun with this pattern. I’m looking hard at the double and triple gauze options<\/a> for this style as well. In black or navy? I’d probably wear it every single day. Or at least not the days that I’m wearing my Cinema Dress.<\/p>\n

And don’t forget our sew-along for this style. It’s available whenever you need it: Day 1<\/a>, Day 2<\/a>, and Day 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
