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.

        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).

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!

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.

It's hot.
Color: Silver
It's hot. I like it. I make my tea in a 20 oz mug. Invariably it gets cold and I need to reheat it. Someone suggested I order a mug warmer. I chose this one. It has 3 heat settings and a 12 hr timer with auto turn off. What more could I ask for? Except that it has a low profile and easy to read and set settings, it does. Prefect.

The perfect coffee mug warmer!
Color: Wood
If you need a coffee cup warmer for your desk or work-station, this is it! I've been using almost daily for several weeks now and zero complaints thus far. As with many-a-reviewer, the problem I was trying to solve is my coffee going cold long before I was done with it, leading to repeated microwave rewarm sessions. After reading through numerous reviews, articles on the matter, and forum postings, I settled on this product. My requirements: - I did not want to use a specialized cup - I did not want to have to find "flat-bottom" cups, I wanted to use any cup in my cupboard - I wanted the coffee to stay hot, not just warm - I needed auto-off, since I surely would forget to turn it off - Idiot-proof controls This product's description seemed to check all the boxes, and it delivered! I've been using for several weeks and it's been perfect. It works with my regular ceramic coffee mugs, and on high setting, keeps my coffee pretty hot (130F). All my ceramic mugs are concave bottom - look at picture in my review - so that's why it only gets that hot on High. A flat-bottom cup may only need Medium setting since it would have more contact area for heat transfer. The faux-wood trim makes it look sorta classy, and although it is large, it doesn't look absurd on my desk, and I'd rather it be bigger than my cup, rather than too small. And I imagine I could use it to keep soup or other food warm on my desk, since I also take forever to finish food when I do eat at my desk. The faux-wood trim does not get hot-to-touch, so it also prevents burns from accidental touch. The surface is, of course, very hot but no little kids or cats in our house, so that wasn't a concern for me. I'm glad I went with this 36W option, even though some articles I read indicated this was overkill. As mentioned above, I imagine I need the higher wattage heating element because I use regular concave-bottom coffee mugs. I have it plugged into surge protector that powers my tower PC and 4 UHD 27" monitors, and I haven't tripped anything yet. 36W is even less than what a fast-charging laptop charger would pull, so this doesn't seem excessive for a workstation. FOOD SAFETY WARNING: As a former research lab assistant that grew bacterial cultures as one of my duties, I'd like to remind people to keep in mind that the danger zone for bacterial growth is ~40F to 140F, especially with dairy creamers. To test temperatures, I used a ceramic concave-bottom mug (starbucks mug in picture) and a metallic flat-bottom mug (green mug in picture). Here are the liquid temperatures I measured for this warmer: - Ceramic convex-bottom mug, Warmer on High: 130F - Metallic flat-bottom mug, Warmer on High: 175F - Metallic flat-bottom mug, Warmer on Med: 150F As you can see, the concave-bottom makes a significant difference in heat transfer, and thus the temperature of the liquid. Use common sense on how long you leave your coffee on the warmer. Coffee at 130F is probably fine for a couple hours, but if you're gonna be leaving it all day, you'll want it to be at 140F+, so use a flat-bottom cup. The metallic one I have got real hot to the touch, including handle and lip of cup, even at Medium, so you'll probably want to use a ceramic one.

My favorite desk item
Color: Wood
I love my coffee but it must be hot-every sip! I'd get up at work so often to go reheat my coffee in the nuker & don'tlike the microwave AND a hater coworker even commented to me that she noticed "how much I get up from my desk" so I thought, they gotta be making coffee hot plates for desktops these days & boom, they do!! I like the wood finish, right my aesthetic alley. The plate has 3 settings; high, medium & low. Even has an auto shutoff after..idk how many hours so built in safety. I've even put my ceramic cup of soup on there to keep it warm while I work through lunch a couple times & it worked for my soup on the high setting. Coffee goes to medium when I first get in since it cools on the car ride over & then down to low once it's hot again. Will be getting one for the home office here soon.
