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.

      • 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.

Good Basic Chair with a Few Drawbacks
Color: Black
I bought this Amazon Basics office task chair for my boyfriend who works from home. Overall, it’s a decent, simple chair that gets the job done for everyday use, especially if you just need something functional and affordable. However, there are a couple of downsides. The recline doesn’t go back as much as he would like, so it’s not ideal if you prefer to lean back and relax between tasks. Also, after about a month of use, the wheels don’t glide as smoothly as they did at first, which can be a bit frustrating when rolling across the floor. Overall, it’s a solid basic chair for light use, but if you want something with a deeper recline or super smooth mobility long-term, you might want to consider other options. Still a reasonable purchase depending on your needs.

Had for just over 9 years now and still pretty solid
Color: Black
I ordered this chair back in December 2015 for our front office, and it's been moved to our back shop where we fabricate. We're not a gentle work space by any stretch of the imagination; we build stuff and it's messy, lots of tools etc. This chair has held up surprisingly well! The faux leather is delaminating almost entirely on the seat but honestly, I'd expect that for faux leather on something that is used daily. The seat pad, in my opinion, has gotten de-poofed. So it's not plush anymore but still usable. I've asked the guy that's using it if they want an upgrade/update and they said they like it and don't want to change it out just yet. That's saying something! The size is nice and wide. We've had a range of differently sized folks sit in the chair over the years and the seat was always comfortable (less now without so much seat poof), I was able to sit cross-legged and the whole chair felt sturdy then as it does now. All of the standards functions you'd want an office chair to do, it can still do: it goes up and down smoothly, it rolls just fine, it's still pivot-reclines comfortably and doesn't feel like it's going to topple. I like it!

Good enough
Color: Black
Comfortable chair. Easy to put together. Allen nuts aren't cut perfectly so sometimes hard to get the wrench in there. My biggest complaint, and I didn't even realize this until I sat down in it, the arm rests are not adjustable and they are a little short for my liking.

COMFY CHAIR GOOD SUPPORT
Color: Dark Brown
So I needed an office chair because the one that I had wasn't really helping my back any. And it just didn't have enough cushion on the chair because when you want to sit for hours at your desk you want to be comfortable. So I took a chance on buying this chair. I thought the color was good and the price was right but I was still a little nervous because it said put together. So I got it right away only took 3 days. And the directions for pretty easy there were a couple of spots that I think we're out of order because you had to kind of play around with the screws going into the holes from the arms but I think if I were to get another chair like this I would probably do it my way because it's pretty self-explanatory but I followed the directions that came with the chair. And hey I'm 65 years old and I put this chair together. It's nice it's sleek and oh my God is it comfortable!!! Right where my lower back and sciatic is I get the support and it just feels good and I know that if I have to be at my desk for 3 or 4 hours I'm going to be comfortable. I highly highly recommend getting this chair. The only issue that I had was the driver did not leave it on my porch. I had ordered a Vizio TV a couple months ago and the driver brought it up to my porch. So I just had to go out and take two steps bring it into the house I really appreciated that. This driver didn't even come through the gate and there is no signs of any dogs because there aren't any. So this driver just left this giant heavy box it was about 35 lb in front of the garage where it was very visible from the road. And I had a dragon to my front door it was heavy I did not like that at all. But it wasn't damaged or anything and I do love the chair. I just don't like what the driver did.

Great sturdy chair and beautiful color
Color: White
I love this chair. I bought it for my home office. It is beautiful, sturdy and very comfortable. I'm not good at all with assembling even basic things but I would say that this was relatively pretty simple for someone like me to put together. Good price and good product.
