LIZA is a 3-in-1 pattern with many possible variations. Whether as a dress or a top and skirt, you can make this outfit with a huge variety of fabrics, depending on the volume and feeling you prefer. For her design, Gian Padilla Suarez pictured a simple summer dress worn at the beach while sipping a cocktail and dancing barefoot. The loose top and the back opening of the wrap skirt make it easy to move and dance: “I love the versatility of the pattern, have fun making it!”

Fit and size:
Choose your size based on your hip circumference. Add a recommended positive ease of 1.2–3.1"/3–8 cm. pick the size that is the best match for your hip. Tania Nathan is wearing LIZA in size 3. She is 66.5"/169 cm tall.

Fabric recommendations:
Choose a light to medium weight woven, non-stretch fabric. Choose a medium weight (stiff) cotton to have more structure in the garment. Be aware of the tight fit around the hip and choose a fabric that is not transparent. The sample is made from Retrosaria’s Outros linen Kentucky (4.5 oz/yd2 / 126 g/m2).
