    Great, but watch out if you do a FBA!
    Reviewed by on 11/10/2018
    If you want to make a FBA to this pattern, bear in mind that the front pattern piece doesn’t have the centre front line marked, and that this is in a different place to the fold line (ie the edge of the pattern). Before marking your apex for FBA, draw centre front onto pattern piece about an inch in from the fold line; then hold centre front line to centre of your body. If you don’t do this step, then your darts points will end up too close together once you have put the front pleat in.

    A great basic
    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 08/23/2018
    I chose this pattern in part because the cut matches a favorite ready-to-wear blouse. I wanted some light, fresh summer dresses with a cut that was flattering--this fit the bill. I've sewn it twice, and I get compliments each time I wear the dresses. The first one I made in a textured chambray. I sewed the longer sleeves, with a collar. The pockets, under collar, and placket were cut from Liberty cotton for a peek of color. I loved how smoothly the placket came together and the fit overall, so I grabbed a different textured chambray and a different Liberty half-yard and went to work. The second dress has the band collar and short raglan sleeves (just extend the shoulder edge by a few inches and omit the sleeves). I also cut bigger pockets and raised them an inch and a half. I've just about worn out the pattern--time to print out a fresh copy and go buy some fall fabric! This pattern is an all-time favorite--simple, well-cut, versatile, and easy to sew.

    I loved how easy this was to sew. I was nervous about the placket but it came out perfect. I made this for my grown daughter to wear to work and she is thrilled. I plan to make her at least one more. Oliver +S patterns are really nice with all the finish details that make a garment look professional. I would highly recommend them. This is the third pattern I have purchased and all are great.

    Fun to sew
    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 03/12/2018
    I'm experienced in sewing classic button-front shirts, but felt like trying something different. This pattern met my need for a fun and uncomplicated sewing experience. The directions are well-written and don't require any special knowledge of sewing techniques. I did have to watch a tutorial before doing the placket -for some reason I couldn't visualize it until I saw it done. Beginners, don't worry. It is actually super easy! I made the tunic length in cotton lawn, with the shorter sleeve and collar band. Sewing it was fast, and the result looks very professional. My only problem was fit-related. The back and front armholes are symmetrical and so is the sleeve cap. This leads to the shirt pulling back at the neck and the top of the sleeve cap being in the wrong position for my arms. I will change this for next time. I usually need about two inches of difference in the armhole. Next time I will deepen the back armhole by 2" and adjust the back curve of the sleeve cap to match. This may not be a problem for everyone, but something to be aware of if you normally need a rounded back or forward shoulder adjustment. The rest of the shirt fit as expected,and will be nice and breezy for hot weather. I recommend this as a good first shirt-making pattern for beginners, and a fun project for any sewist looking for a cute popover top.

    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 02/21/2018
    This is a wonderful pattern. The instructions are superb, especially the little “hints” strewn throughout. It is cleverly engineered so that the placket is a dream to install! The only part I didn’t like was the cuff area — the finishing of the space between the ends was awkward and difficult to make perfect. The sizing was off a bit for me — my first try was too big so I made the second one a size smaller and it’s perfect.

    Great instructions and a satisfying project
    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 02/19/2018
    I made the dress version with the shorter sleeves and mandarin collar for myself in a very lightweight cotton. I used the bust measurement to choose the size and it was VERY roomy, so ended up taking it in by 1/2" on both side seams (next time, perhaps I'll size down). I also took the pockets off after sewing it as I'm quite short-waisted and found they were too low. But otherwise, it's very comfortable, and I usually wear it with a belt to give it a bit more 'shape'. I've received lots of compliments on the dress! The instructions, as always, are fabulous, and it's a very satisfying project to sew. I'll have to try the tunic length next...

    I bought the gallery tunic after having great success with the bottom up shirt for women. Sorry I forgot the name! The tunic turned out beautifully. I made one modification and added a gentle ruffle on the sleeve cuff since this seems to be the year of the sleeve! I love your patterns and they are giving me huge confidence as a returning sewist I've had loads of compliments on both tops and I'm proud to say I made it.

    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 12/06/2017
    I bought this pattern on a whim at the checkout when purchasing the Everyday Skirt pattern, the whole "if you buy this now we'll discount it" gets me everytime. Guess what? I love it! I've already made it as a tunic top, great with my jeans for the weekend or 'dress down' day at work, and the longer version as a dress (with or without sleeves I've decided) will be lovely for work or casual wear. Instructions are great, true to size and easy to follow. Best bonus buy EVER!!

    Gallery Tunic
    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 05/23/2017
    I bought the gallery tunic and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I made the cuffs differently from the instructions because they seemed too complicated (I just hemed the arm seam instead of cutting a slit). I would also recommend actually downloading the file as the web link disappeared in a week or so after I bought it - obvious, I know, but there was no indication in the email that it would happen. I do not have a copy of the pattern anymore.

    Reviewed by on 04/01/2017
    I have made 2 dresses and one tunic so far using this pattern. I have used chambray and rayon, both styles of collar, inserted the pockets and adjusted the pattern to include darts. The instructions are the best I have used for a clothing sewing pattern! The details like sewing a guide to fold the hem are so practical and helpful and mean that the finishes on each item are perfect. The best thing is that my new clothes look professionally made and I have received lots of compliments about them and enjoyed the awe when I casually say 'I made it'. I will be making more soon!

    Great Pattern
    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 03/24/2017
    Thank you for making such a great pattern -- this one has really increased my confidence level as a novice sewer. The fit and finishes are so nice, it looks like a higher-end store-buy. I made my first one in a gray shirting fabric, but the size I chose is a little snug around the bust and arms, so I'll go up a size for the next one -- which is laid out and ready to cut in a purple voile. I especially love the length, I'm 5'7" so I usually have to lengthen top patterns but this one is perfect. Only changes I made were 1) left out the pockets and 2) used my rolled hemmer foot on the hem (I thought the curves would cause problems, but they didn't, it came out very clean.) Thanks again & can't wait to buy more of your patterns.

    I made the tunic version with long sleeves. The instructions were clear and the project was very enjoyable to sew. The only thing I didn't like was the shape of the mandarin collar--it sort of bumps up at the edges--but it's easy to change the shaping if you wish. The finished garment is quite roomy so I would go smaller if you're not sure which size to show. I've worn my wearable muslin several times already and can't wait to make another in a nicer fabric.

    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 09/27/2016
    This is my favorite pattern! I made a wearable muslin first to check whether I needed a full bust adjustment: I am a "C" cup by sewing fitting standards. But because of the loose ease of this style, I did not need it. I now wear that muslin as a pajama top. The pattern comes together very easily. The choice of two collar options is great and the other details like the pleat in front and back and curved hem really make this style something special. I made the tunic in Japanese double gauze and dress in lightweight denim. I will be making more because they are so lovely to sew and wear.

    Gallery Tunic
    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 07/05/2016
    It has been quite awhile since I have done any garment sewing. I think I complicated the process a little by going with mid-weight shirting cotton/poly blend; the fabric will NOT hold a crease so pressing was frustrating. I wanted to try the pattern before purchasing a more expensive double gauze. Despite my questionable choice of fabric my top turned out beautifully! It fits well and looks great on. I will definitely go ahead with the more expensive fabric now that I have my basic white tunic completed. The fit is spot on. The instructions were clear and the tips provided were very helpful. I look forward to trying other patterns for my granddaughter and I.
    Comment by Jimmy Chadwick on 08/15/2016. Lisa: Try a tailor's clapper on the poly-cotton blend. YouTube shows how. I have one sold by Angela Wolf (maple), and easily get a knife-edge press on poly-blend fabric.

    Best Make Ever
    Reviewed by on 04/08/2016
    Making the Gallery Tunic was, I kid you not, the most pleasurable sewing experience of my life. I think it came down to the instructions, which were so beautifully clear that things which I would normally find daunting (like the placket) came together "like buttah." The finished shirt looks not only as good as RTW, but as good as expensive RTW. Amazing! This pattern will definitely become a TNT for me.
    A fit note: I am 5'3", and long tunics aren't that flattering on me, so I shortened it by 4 inches (taken out at waist level). The front hem hits at low-hip level now, and looks great. Many thanks, Liesl!

    Great Fit, Comfortable, and Versatile
    Reviewed by on 02/25/2016
    I recently made the Gallery Tunic as part of the sew-along on the blog. Though I have several Oliver + S patterns, this is the first of the Liesl & Co patterns I have tried.

    The directions are clear and helpful, as expected. The fit is great! With a loose-fitting tunic, you could easily end up with a sloppy looking garment. This top has a nice fit in the shoulders and bust and contours in toward the waist and back out at the hips. The result is a really flattering fit and comfortable top.

    I love all of the different options. They make this pattern extremely versatile and definitely something you'll want to use more than once!

    The Perfect Shirt
    Reviewed by on 02/05/2016
    I made this tunic from a double gauze that's plaid on one side, check on the other. I cut the placket from the "wrong" side for flashes of the check, which also shows a bit on the inside of the lower back.

    This pattern went together beautifully and was amazingly forgiving of the slipperiness and instability of the gauze.

    The collar, as others have noted, is rather big, but in the soft gauze it lies nicely on my collarbones. I've started another one in voile, decreasing the collar by 3/4" and adding two fabric button loops to the placket. It's very pretty and elegant.

    I feel so elegant-hippie in this shirt! It's going to be a big favorite this summer.

    Made three blouses already. One in cotton/silk blend, one in poplin and one in lawn. It's a highly versatile pattern. In different fabrics they all look different. Planning one in brushed cotton (flannel) next. Don't consider it a tunic, but I'm 175 cm. Lengthened the sleeves, as almost always. The collar is to large I found all three times. I just shortened it along the already stitched line as a guide. Placket is easy peasy, great instructions. French seamed the shoulders. No need for an fba although having a (European) D cup. Hem is steeply curved, so ironed and glued first.

    The collar on the Gallery tunic/dress is a half-inch wider and two inches longer than on my ready-to-wear shirts with a similar collar. I made the size 6, and I'm 5'2" tall. The width was easy to fix by folding the pattern piece, but I don't see any way to decrease the length. The collar is out of proportion for a petite person. The instructions are detailed and easy to follow.

    The instructions are comprehensive, so much that they look kind of intimidating. But if you just go along one step at a time, it will lead you to a success. It's beautifully drafted and all the pieces go together perfectly.

    I found one error on the collar piece. One edge is marked Fold, but the fold should actually be on the opposite side of the piece.
    Thanks for the review Debbie. The error you mentioned was indeed found on the first printing. An errata notice for it can be found here.

    LOVE This Pattern!

    I love this pattern! I made the dress length in a soft chambray fabric, no collar and with the turned back cuffs. What a workhorse this is in my wardrobe! With a belt I'm currently wearing it with white jeans a LOT. I know I'll be sewing more from this pattern. Great instructions, very clear. Well drafted pattern, comes together beautifully!

    Perfect summer pattern
    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 06/28/2015
    I have made up this pattern as the tunic top in some cotton lawn, and already have the dress version cut out too. It makes a perfect lightweight summer top. The only issue I had was with attaching the collar, which came out too big for the neckline. This was probably a user error while cutting however. Thank you for this great pattern!

    I really enjoyed making this pattern. The placket is quite simple and the directions are great so don't let that hold you back if the idea makes you nervous. I HIGHLY recommend avoiding stiffer fabrics with this pattern. Some good quality chambray or linen work well (my dress is made from very soft dot chambray). If you are comfortable sewing lighter weight fabrics, get some nice voile or rayon challis. I am on the tall side and the dress is a great length for me. I will be making the tunic length top soon. I might also make another dress. . . .
