All the variants are included in the digital pattern file. With this set of sewing pattern parts, you can make up to 27 different garments!

Dila strategically alternates between roomy and accommodating. 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 the 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.

Psst ... Did you know Dila has a little sister called Didi? Sew a kid's version and an adult version, you can go twinning!

RECOMMENDED FABRICS:
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 woollen 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.
