Every time Lisel grabs her pattern notcher
she’s connected to family. The punch, used for
matching pattern pieces, was a gift from her
grandmother, a former needlework instructor who
studied fashion design.
“I use it all the time, ”says Liesl. “It’s a connection
for both of us.”

The oldest of five girls, Liesl remembers watching her mom lay out patterns as she sewed for her
daughters. Although Liesl absorbed much watching her mom work, it wasn’t until she’d been out of
college for ten years that she pursued fashion. Jobs
at Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger taught her
about fabric and styling details. But when daughter “S” was born (Liesl uses just her initial to protect her privacy), Liesl chose to stay home, leaving
the fashion industry behind.
As S grew, Lisel shared on her blog, Disdressed
(http://disdressed.blogspot.com/), the dresses
she stitched for her daughter. Readers’ responses,
along with comments from passerby on the streets
of her New York City home, encouraged her to
create and sell patterns. “I thought it was something I could do while she napped,” Liesl laughs.

Business has definitely outgrown naptime. In just
three years, Oliver + S has 16 patterns under its
neatly buckled belt and Liesl is designing fabric
for Moda. Family ties have grown, too: Liesl’s husband, Todd, now oversees the company’s business
side while she focuses on creative development.
And “S” contributes, too. “I look a what she’s wearing, at how it moves on her before I finalize styles,”
says Liesl. “She inspires a lot of what I do.”6
