The Eleonora dress, is the perfect blend of vintage romance and modern elegance, designed for effortless everyday wear. Inspired by classic chemise dresses, this timeless design offers a flattering, adjustable fit with a tie and elastic at the neckline and waist, plus A-E bra cup options to ensure comfort for all body shapes. The dress features short or long gathered raglan sleeves with ruffle details, a four-panel midi skirt with hidden pockets, and a deep hem. Customize your look with three views: an adjustable ruffled neckline and waist (Views A-C), an elasticated channel under the bust for added shape (View B), or a cinched bodice with shirring above the waist for a flattering silhouette (View C).

Cup options
Bra sizes A-E options included.

Sewing difficulty
The pattern is suitable for experienced beginners to intermediate sewists. You should be able to sew a channel for the neckline and the sleeves. The neckline and the waist is finished with elastic and an adjustable tie. There are options of shirring or elastic under the bust.

Fabric suggestions
Choose a lightweight, soft woven fabric such as cotton voile, block print or cotton lawn. The Eleonora dress was originally released during my S/S2022 and S/S2023 ready-to-wear collections and made in a lightweight crinkled cotton, 85 gsm.

Fabric usage
The cutting layout and fabric requirements are based on the short sleeves view and A/B cup pattern. The layout is designed for fabric 150 cm (60”) wide. The pieces are arranged efficiently to minimize waste, but we recommend buying a little extra fabric to account for shrinkage, print alignment, or cutting adjustments.

Tip: Many makers swap the original four-panel skirt for a two-panel skirt using the full width of their fabric. This method not only simplifies the construction but also requires less fabric. Read more in the instructions on pages 6-7.

Dress: 3.14 m - 5.50 m (3.78 m in size 54 if you use the two panel skirt)

Imperial US2/4 - US24:
Dress: 3.43 yd - 6 yd (4.13 yd in size 24 if you use the two panel skirt)
