      I love this pattern!
    Reviewed by Ilse Cordoni (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/19/2023
    Have made it twice in rayon challis and love both versions. I shortened one version with a nice wide hem. I do note that the foldover area between the shoulder and the front pulls a little bit on both tops even though it was clipped carefully before it was understitched. I give that area a bit more attention with the iron and think it is OK. Love the look!

    Love this pattern design but surprised it is not available in plus sizes. I could spend time grading the pattern to fit me, but time I waste doing that work sometimes makes me lose interest in finishing the project.Would love to see this done in the larger size ranges.

      Tunic length looks great
    Reviewed by Susan (✓ Verified Buyer) on 01/14/2021
    I planned to make this as a blouse but then realized I had enough of the satin I was using to make a dress. And then I didn't like the dress due to the lack of waist shaping, and settled on a tunic to wear over tights, and am very happy. Directions were great, it goes together very quickly.

    Easy download, easy to sew. The sizes are too small for me so I had to draft it larger. I’m still working on it but I anticipate it will be a nice summery linen blouse.

      Weekend Getaway Blouse
    Reviewed by Patty (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/21/2019
    I came across "The Summer Coat" first. It was exactly what I was looking for. What a delight to find it was an alteration of the Weekend Getaway Blouse. The pattern was easy to download, print and assemble. As an experienced sewer I don't foresee any issues with directions or fit, the only problem I have is time and not enough of it!

      Perfect simple yet sophisticated blouse!
    Reviewed by Raye Ann Clayton (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/10/2019
    I recently made my first Weekend Getaway blouse and couldn’t be happier with the finished top. I learn something new with each Liesl pattern I make, even though I’ve been sewing clothing for many years. Her instructions for a FBA ( my first try and long overdue to learn) are excellent and gave me a perfect fit. I also loved the super neat interior finish! I will be making more from this pattern and highly recommend it for everyone. A beginner can tackle this and learn good techniques!

    I've been looking for a basic woven T-shirt pattern but wanted something with a little flair to it. This pattern fits the bill perfectly. And even better it's so easy. I completed my first one within a few hours. It looks great on and I have several more planned.

      Used this pattern to make a duster
    Reviewed by Susan Boston (✓ Verified Buyer) on 05/28/2018
    I used this pattern to make a linen duster, per a blog post by Liesl. The directions from the pattern, in combination with the adjustment suggestions in the blog post were easy to follow. The blog post also referenced an Oliver and S tutorial with directions on making side vents. This worked out well too. Great pattern, great suggestions for modifying.

    Reviewed by Cathryn Harjung (✓ Verified Buyer) on 05/19/2017
    After seeing several Weekend Getaway Blouses made by sewists with my body type on Instagram, I knew I had to take the plunge and make one. I followed the tutorial for the Full Bust Adjustment and it was flawless. I had always been nervous to do a FBA, but the instructions were extremely clear and simple and IT WORKED! This blouse is a wonderful make, and I'm so glad I purchased the pattern. I made 3 Weekend Getaway Blouses within 3 days, and just bought more fabric to make another!

    Reviewed by Julie on 05/07/2016
    I like this pattern. I made the size to fit my underbust measurement and did the adjustment for the D cup. The directions are easy to follow and although I have a fair bit of experience sewing it has been years since I sewed garments for myself. I enjoyed the modern methods. If I make it again I would make it a bit wider and a bit longer

    Reviewed by The silver sewer (✓ Verified Buyer) on 03/06/2016
    Excellent instructions. Easy to make fitting adjustments. Front detail really adds a nice bit of classy detail, although I had to sew an extra inch and a half on the centre front neckline seam to make it decent! I used a semi sheer georgette and have already bought 3 lots of fabric to make up in different versions of the pattern.

    Wonderful pattern that comes together perfectly, easy to follow instructions. V good flattering fit and the front v neck and middle folds gave the blouse a sophisticated and interesting look. I made mine in a linen without the pockets. Only change I made was to reduce the depth of the V-neckline by about an inch and lengthen the hem by 1.5inches.

    Reviewed by Kate on 05/21/2015
    I made this blouse as soon as I downloaded the pattern. I'm fairly new to sewing, but have looked through a bunch of patterns. This pattern is, by far, the easiest one to follow, which I appreciated. I made the blouse in 100% linen and it worked beautifully. I've worn it repeatedly since I finished it and it fits really well - I love the kimono sleeves!

      pattern easy to follow, style may not be for me
    Reviewed by Emily on 05/15/2015
    The pattern instructions were complete and I think they would be straight forward enough for a complete beginner. I was cautious about cutting my size per the pattern envelope because the pattern lists several inches of ease in the bust. I did, and it looks nice finished and is comfortable to wear but it does gape considerably when I lean forward. If I make the pattern again, I will likely make a small bust adjustment to help reduce gaping even though I am a B cup. (the pattern instructions do include instructions for bust adjustments in them!) I also found that the past in the back was unflattering to my broad shoulders in the cotton lawn I was using, so replaced with shoulder darts instead. I liked that the pattern was quick to sew, but as I usually make garments that are more fitted through the waist, I haven't decided if I will make it again (if I do I might fit it with darts in the back and add a contrast zip down the center back). The pattern was still will worth the price if only for the facing instructions -- I can see myself using the front and back facing instructions again in other contexts in other patterns.

    Reviewed by Jenny on 03/07/2015
    This blouse went together seamlessly! Instructions were detailed and the pictures were a great inclusion! I tweaked the pattern a bit to create more ease in the arms and adjusted the bust dart but everything else I kept the same. Thanks so much for a great pattern. Will definitely make again! Plan to wear it with the Everyday Skirt.

    Another very professional pattern from Oliver + S. Very simple to construct and elegant in design. As in the Cinema Dress, I loved the method used for increasing the bust size of the blouse; very effective, very simple and a technique transferrable to many other designs. Well done!

      Perfect for a new Mum!
    Reviewed by Nicole on 11/12/2014
    I have just finished my third Weekend Getaway, this time a tunic in black hanky linen (ramie). The subtle shaping gives gentle definition to my post baby body. I feel very tidy and pulled together at a time when many of my clothes make me feel blobby. My dress version was a God send with my last pregnancy, I wore it until 32 weeks. The blouse version, I made in white linen/poly, is a staple for me as I can pull it up and feed in it. The pockets are so stylish, you can leave them off for a super quick sew, but why would you? They really make the blouse pop! The back neck facing is a thing of beauty, so clever. Just trust Liesl's excellent instructions. I look forward to making this again in some very soft draping silk.

      Favourite blouse pattern to date
    Reviewed by Kelly on 09/23/2014
    This is my absolute favourite blouse pattern to date! It's a quick and easy sew, and is such a flattering shape. I've sewn it with Liberty Lawn so far, and I think it's a perfect weight. The only change I've made so far is adding an invisible zipper in the front seam to make the shirt breastfeeding friendly! I've also learned that you can squeeze the short sleeve pattern onto 1m of fabric if you don't mind piecing together your facing. Unless you're using a large pattern that has obvious repeats, the seam is hardly noticeable!

      My New Favourite Dress
    Reviewed by Nicole on 10/19/2013
    Fabulous, quick-to-sew easy fitting, easy wearing dress. Kimono style sleeves are simple to sew but very flattering. The facings fold back to gently flatter the neck and the pockets are a very clever detail. The dress is subtly shaped to hint at the hips and waist but the action back give good ease. A lovely dress that makes up nicely in fine,draping fabric. If you liked the Lisette Portfolio, you will love this.
