Since launching Oliver + S, we’ve heard from innumerable enthusiastic seamstresses around the world who love our patterns, and their most frequent request has been, \u201cI want that pattern in my size!\u201d Lisette is our answer to that request.<\/p>\n

Depending on your choice of fabric, these styles are as appropriate for dressy or business occasions as they are for taking the dog for a walk or the kids to the playground.
