Portfolio Re-released

As a new flavour.
Did you love this dress?
Come on Ladies, it gets 50 views a day!
Well guess what campers? Its been re-released as the Cappuccino dress and tunic 

Its not exactly the same.

But I think you will like the changes.
The neck has a gentle V-neck. 
I know some of you ladies found it a bit high with the original neckline.


I did a blog post here with some tips for sewing the pockets.

Enjoy!

  1. Oh yes, I love the changes. I was not enamoured of the high yoked neckline and have made it twice without the yoke. And even though I own the Portfolio in both size ranges, I have just bought this one (shhhh!)

    1. I loved the look of the round neck but I found I had to lower it a wee bit.
      I do like the new neck line very much though.
      Can't wait to see what you do.

  2. Yes, I might be finally converted! (Your versions were always my favorites, Nicole, but I do love the changed neckline - more flattering on a large bust!)

  3. I'm with you, Inder-ific! I always go for v-necks. I never did get the fit quite right on me with the Portfolio. I meant to go back to it, but.... I may be inspired to try again with the cappuccino version.

    I think I like the changes to the new pattern too!

  5. Love this dress! And the pattern coming out is at a time when I am starting to think of sewing for myself.

    1. The only problem with sewing with Liesl&Co is that you are spoilt for everything else!

  6. I love this new pattern but it still makes me want the old one more than ever! If anyone is ditching their old pattern to make the new one I'll happily purchase it from you! Email me at plasticmallrat at gmail (dot) com

    1. I love the old one, too, but not enough to pay the ridiculous eBay prices. If anyone wishes to rid herself of the pattern in size 6/8, please, please send an email to me at klgalloway1 at hotmail (dot) com

  8. Kelly, I have an eBay search running and I check out every sewing store I go past.
    If I find one, I will link it here.
