Notches Patterns - Dila Blouse | Dress

About Dila

The Dila pattern stands out with its beautifully pleated lantern sleeves. This versatile design can be made as a dress or a blouse, with multiple sleeve and neckline options included in the pattern. Choose long sleeves, short sleeves, or sleeveless, and a round neckline, square neckline, or V-neck. There’s a Dila variation for every season.
The back slit with button closure ensures a neat finish, while the gathers at the bust, with an optional decorative piping, are placed at a flattering height. The set-in sleeves sit neatly at the shoulder point, creating an elegant fit. With its balance of refined details and versatility, Dila is a favorite among sewists who love stylish projects with character.
