Fabric choice

Choose light to medium-weight fabrics that can gather well. Thick fabrics are not suitable for this pattern. Easy to sew fabrics such as poplin cotton, linen or a thin woolen fabric are good choices, especially since they will hold the structure of the sleeve. Supple fabrics like viscose are also ideal for a more draped effect, especially for the short-sleeve and sleeveless versions. The long lantern sleeve will flow a little more with a supple fabric.

WE RECOMMEND WASHING YOUR FABRIC BEFORE CUTTING.

Think about the environment and choose deadstock fabrics if you can. That way you give these leftover fabrics from fashion brands a second life and they don’t end up in landfills. We source our quality deadstock designer fabrics at The Fabric Sales.


Variants

This pattern gives you the opportunity to make not 1, but several garments. Here is an overview of all the variants you can make with this set of pattern parts.


Long dress with long sleeves


 
Long dress with short sleeve


Long sleeveless dress 


Short dress with long sleeves


Short dress with short sleeves 



Short sleeveless dress


Long sleeve blouse


Short sleeve blouse


Sleeveless blouse


Level

This pattern is rated between 2 and 3 dots in terms of difficulty.

A 2 dot variant would be a good project for less experienced sewists, who enjoy learning and trying out different techniques. With this pattern you will learn how to make gathers, apply bias tape, make a back slit with button closure and set in a sleeve. 
If you already have a little more experience, then you will definitely enjoy stitching the pleats and shape of the lantern sleeve. 

Fit

Dila strategically alternates between roomy and accomodating. There is plenty of ease at the bust, waist and hips, while at the same time we ensured a sophisticated silhouette by leaving the shoulder points in the right place and using a lantern sleeve to bring the wide long sleeves down to an elegant wrist cuff. The long sleeves are meant to fall on the wrist. BE sure to measure the pattern if (like our model) you have long arms. 

The short sleeve has a wide sleeve hem with a decorative pleat. 
On the sleeveless version, the armhole is sufficiently roomy.

Save on paper and ink with our printer-friendly files. All the files listed below are included with your purchase. 

      • Extensive illustrated step-by-step tutorial. 
        This instruction booklet is an interactive PDF made easy for screen with large lettering, clickable navigation and links to video tutorials if available. If you do rather print the tutorial, there’s a ‘save ink’ layer available. 
      • Cheat sheet.
        You can print this one page containing some key information and your notes to store with your paper pattern parts. 
      • A4/letter pattern to print at home.
        This file contains all the pattern parts you need to make every single variant. When you print this, you will need to tape or glue the pages together before you can cut out the entire pattern pieces. Learn here how you can tape the pieces together in a fast and easy way.
      • A0 pattern to print at a copy shop.
        Would you rather not tape pieces together? We got you covered with this large pattern format. If you don't own a plotter you can print out this file in a copy shop or at a fabric store that provides a print on demand service.
    • Both A4/letter and A0 pattern files come in a file where the seam allowance is included AND a seperate file where the seam allowance is not included (which is easier to work with if you want to do a lot of adjustments). All files have a layer per size so that you don’t have to trace your size onto a different sheet of paper and add seam allowance yourself. You can easily uncheck all the layers you don’t need and print only your size with seam allowance included. That way you can directly cut out what you have printed. Don’t forget to tell your copy shop to select the right layers!
    • Projector file. Want to skip printing all together? You can! With this file you can project the pattern pieces straight onto your fabric using a projector/beamer.

Notions
Fabric requirements 

The fabric requirements chart shows how much fabric you will need for all variants, calculated on a standard fabric width of 140 cm - 56". If your fabric is narrower, you will need more fabric length. For wider or narrower fabrics you can calculate how much fabric you will need by laying out the pattern pieces on the table according to your fabric width and measuring how much fabric length you will need accordingly.


Finished measurements

Dila has 12 cm (4 3/4") ease at the bust and 64 cm (25 1/4") at the hips compared to the size chart.

For the round and v-neckline the finished back length is taken from the back of the neckline to the hem. The square neckline is 2 cm lower at the back.

Excellent shirt, especially at this price point--a true can't miss!
Color: Grey Blue, Size: Large
I have ordered this shirt in several colors. It is loose, comfortable and washes up perfectly. So far, I haven't had any pilling. It performs like a much more expensive shirt. Because it is loose fitting, it hides a multitude of figure problems. I love these shirts.

My favorite t-shirt EVER!
Color: White, Size: Medium
This is the classiest t-shirt i have ever owned. It is buttery soft but thick so that nothing shows through. Thick doesn't explain it well because it is like silk on your skin. Anyway, I highly recommend such a lovely shirt!

Great fit
Size: 38DDD, Color: French Blue Lace
I first ordered this bra about 3 years ago. You know how us woman are we have more than one bra and more than one style of bra. This one style is the one I mostly reached out for. Then I went and lost around 45 pounds and it just didn't fit right any more. I went to to one of those "Bra Stores" and tried on a bunch of different bras none felt like it fit right so I came home and "measured" myself and I ordered a pretty blue one from comfort choice. My old bra was a 42G my new size is 38DDD. It fit so well I ordered 2 more. Light grey and pretty pink. I love these they are very comfortable and they hold the girls in place! Me I'm 67 5'3" and 165lbs.

Nice support but...
Size: 42DDD, Color: Black
I ordered this for my cousin who finds it very difficult to find bras in her size. She told me she wished she could find a good support bra without the wire because she had deep red marks under her old bra so I did some research and found this bra. She came over and tried it on and my first impression was WOW the support is great but it was very difficult for her to fasten all the hooks in the front due to her long nails. After some time she managed to fasten all the hooks and I noticed I needed to adjust the straps for her and she said it felt a lot better. This wireless bra looks so different on a woman with large breasts than the models in the picture, my cousin's cleavage was very substantial, unlike the model in the pic so if you are heavy set with large breasts, just know you will still have ample cleavage showing. After she put her top back on I noticed just how smooth her back looked, there were no bulges showing and she told me she felt like her posture was better due to the support of this bra. I have four stars due to the hooks being difficult to fasten.
