Ether Dress Sewing Pattern
$27.00DESIGN
The Ether Dress design was inspired by a light puffy cloud-like, seersucker fabric gifted to me. With simple construction, maximising volume and texture, the Ether will make you feel like you are from another world.
The structure is anchored by a rope that ties off at the centre front split. The rope crosses at the centre back into a loop radiating gathers. The loop detail lowers the centre back volume for an elegant silhouette. The pattern includes two views, one with sleeves and one without. And yes it has pockets.

SIZE CHARTS
The Ether dress is drafted two sizes to a grade with the flexible gathering to be used to adjust the fit.
The mid-centre front and back are adjustable for width, the armholes ungathered sitting smoothly against the body. The centre back neckline sits approximately
11-14 cm • 4 ⅜" - 5½" below the centre front neckline. The necklines can be raised and lowered to your preference but keeping the depth ratio will maintain balance and keep the side seam and hem straight. The body and sleeve lengths are graded for each size. The centre front neckline to finished hem lengths are written on the pattern for each size.
FABRICS
The construction of the Ether is simplified for textured and speciality fabrics. If you are concerned about rope casings or binding pieces being difficult to handle, use a plainer contrast fabric for these parts. The Ether works well in light to mid weight fabrics that gather well including silk, cotton and linen. Fabric weights that are generally below
200 GSM and compress well are advised.

We chose this pattern for my daughter's first go at making 'jeans.' They came up very nicely in a denim linen blend. Side button closures were the favourite feature. She added some patch pockets at the back instead of welt pockets. Instructions were clear for the most part, clearer illustrations would have helped for a couple of the steps.
Clear and precise instructions resulted in a very smart garment that I will be delighted to wear.
I found the pattern easy to follow, fit was perfect. I liked that it had drop shoulders as I find tops with normal sleeves I have to adjust the measurement from neck to shoulder as I have small shoulders. Had some fabric left over so made a flower removable pin & covered some buttons to make earrings to match.
Loved making this wrap dress in my yellow floral fabric from De Linum. The instructions were a little hard to follow at times, but I found the blog tutorial over at Style Arc. I made the long sleeve version and I love it!
An easy pattern to follow. Love the multiple sizing. Very efficient ordering and delivery. Reliable.
Repeat customer. Nice pattern, great delivery time.
Very efficient service. Found this pattern quite easy to make. Fits nicely.
My first shopping experience at De Linum was such a delightful experience because it was so easy! The online shop is easy to navigate and my purchases arrived in record time at my home. I will definitely be shopping there again.
De Linum sorted my issue very speedily. Thank you.
I’m really pleased to have purchased this pattern from the de Linum store. I’m planning to sew them up in time for Christmas, I just need the perfect fabric to make them special.
I have not made anything for decades .
Found these patterns excellent!
Love this store. I wish I lived closer to it
Its just what I've been looking for! I'm now collecting fabric to make it. It will be perfect for summer. Thank you!
I tried to sew this blouse and gave up. The collar is too tricky and life is too short to waste time trying to figure it out.
I love this blazer pattern, it was easy to use and the fit is great. I made it as a light weight cover to wear with dresses in between season and evenings. I am very happy with the casual style. I would recommend this pattern brand.
Half way through sewing and find it easy and i am sure the result will be good

Always great service. Products are of high quality and I highly recommend them.
Loved the pattern easy to sew. I used scrap fabric to make a new blouse
At last a pattern which requires minimal alterations (I am tall) to fit my curves. Extremely happy with the result.
your quick & efficient response to my issues were greatly appreciated
I recently purchase some patterns from you guys, only I did not realise that 1 had to be downloaded, I am not very proficient at those things so your lovely staff member was kind enough to give me a refund on that pattern & sent me a voucher for the purchase price. That was very kind & I am very grateful, the extra pattern that I chose has been delivered today & I am one very happy client.
I have not used this pattern yet but reading instructions it appears straightforward and a very useful project.
