This an excellent pattern for beginners wanting to upskill as the instructions are excellent. The fit is flowy but you can make it more fitted by using the tie belt. It is also the most comfortable dress I have made. I have made three already and have another two planned. I used cotton poplin and it worked really well as it is lovely and crisp and makes the shirt part of the dress look beautifully tailored. I found that adding more buttons to the shirt helped with my fuller bust. Great pattern!!
Hi Emma, thanks so much for such a lovely review! I'm so happy to hear it's one of your all-time faves - and wow, three dresses already?! I can't wait to see the next two! Happy sewing! virginija x

I'm fairly new to dressmaking and have only been sewing since January. I've been working my way through TATB patterns and found this one to be a nice stretch challenge for me with some new skills to try (button placket, collar).
As always, the instructions and pics guide you through it every step of the way and I had no issues.
I made a floaty viscose midi but hope to make a knee length corduroy one next to wear with tights.
Hi Gemma, thanks so much for your review! I’m so happy to hear you’re building your skills with our patterns - yay! I hope you enjoy making the corduroy version soon - I can’t wait to see it! Happy sewing! Virginija x

I have made 4 Lyras so far and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. A great pattern that goes together easily. Even though I already have a few of these they all look different - different length, different fabric etc I do a 1 inch FBA for my DD cup and that is the only adjustment I make. Really a timeless pattern that you will use time and time again.

Fantastic pattern and videos to master fab details - be prepared for lots of compliments : my favourite was “ it looks like xxxxx xxxxx but seems to fit you better 💕💕
I’ve made 7! So far!

This is a great dress. I made it in a midi length for my daughter in a size 2 - perfect except for the sleeves, which needed to be enlarged. I also made them short and added a hem facing and vent
