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.

Great Product that does exactly what it says it will.
Color: Beige, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
I really enjoy this product and it does exactly what it describes. I use it on my balcony. It is effective, but still very lightweight. It is easy to assemble as well. The price point is excellent. Also, I had an interaction with the company about an issue and they were incredibly responsive and helpful, fixing the issue immediately. Highly recommend.

Great WFH screen for video calls
Color: Black, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I share a workspace with my hubs since we both work from home. I have the attention span of a 🐿️ and need this so I can focus on my work and not get distracted by him, since he is very amusing to watch. This screen is very lightweight and the panels can move and create a little cubicle around your workspace. I personally loved cubicles & despise open space seating, even at home. The ADHDer in my loves being able to block things away from my field of vision. These panels also hide any mess behind you, especially if you forget to blur the background on Teams or Zoom calls or if you don’t have the option to change your backgrounds. This was fairly easy to put together and very easy to move and adjust. The screen is a much better option than a sheet as I’ve seen others use on calls.🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I’m not sure how it will stand up around rambunctious pets or kids, but fairly certain it takes quite a push to knock it over. We have four cats & I’m pretty sure someone would try to climb this, which is why they’re not allowed in our workspace.

Difficult to assemble, but a good basic divider
Color: Beige, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I bought this to use as a background for when I have video calls. I wish I'd ordered the 6- or even 8-panel to block a little more, but that's my own error. It still covers a good portion of the room, so I'll make do, or maybe buy another at a later date to expand it. It looks ok, if a little plain. The fabric panels have creases in them from being folded and will need to be steamed or ironed out for a nicer look. It would be easy to make your own panels as well, if you're so inclined. The construction is decent. The frame is lightweight and if you don't angle the base supports the right way it may tip over if you extend it too far. The fabric panels aren't the highest quality, but are sturdy enough. They seem like they would handle being thrown in the wash well. The only issue I have with it is that it was so difficult to put together. The push latches that connect the poles don't push it well and hurt my hands. The fabric panels are sized to be extremely taut, which makes it very difficult to get them on the bars without forcing the bar to bend slightly. Overall, this is a good divider if you're looking for something simple and functional without being too worried about aesthetic. It's also a good, inexpensive base if you want to make your own custom panels.
