Lisa was inspired to create Lea while watching the James Bond film Spectre, where Bond Girl Léa Seydoux enters one sunny scene in a stunning 1940s inspired, button-up tea dress.

Originally released with Issue 2 of the Lisa Comfort Magazine, due to popular demand the Lea Dress is now available as a stand-alone PDF pattern.

The V-neck bodice is fitted with waist darts on the front and back and the panel skirt gives the dress movement, draping gently around the hips without adding any fullness. The short sleeves are finished with turn ups for that vintage touch, and the dress is fastened with buttons all the way down the front.

Lea is perfect for spring and summer, she is easy to wear and looks just as good in an on-trend patterned fabric as she does in a classic colour. Pick a fabric with plenty of drape, like a viscose or a crepe, to make the most of the flared skirt.

What is a PDF pattern?

A PDF pattern is a downloadable pattern that you print yourself at home on A4 or US letter paper.

Choose to add on A0 printing and we will print the pattern on our A0 printers and post it to you so all you need to access digitally is the instruction booklet.

If you're using the A4 or US letter options, simply download, print at home, tape together and let the sewing begin! When you print the pattern, print at 100% (you might have to uncheck the scale box). Print page 1 first, the square should measure 10cm x 10cm.
