The sleeveless Eleonora dress is a romantic summer dress inspired by vintage chemise dresses, but with a modern take that makes it more suitable for everyday wear. The dress is adjustable due to the tie and elastic at the neckline and waist and comes with A-E cup options. Eleonora features gathered shoulder straps with elasticated channel with ruffles. The gathered midi skirt has four panels, hidden pockets and is finished with a deep hem. View A-C: The neckline has ruffles and a channel that is adjustable with a tie and elastic. The waist also has an adjustable channel. View B: The bodice has elastic channel under the bust. View C: The bodice is cinched in with shirring above the waistline.

Cup options
Bra sizes A-E options included.

Sewing difficulty
The pattern is suitable for 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
For the sleeveless Eleonora dress, choose a lightweight woven fabric with a crisp hand, such as cotton voiles, block prints, or cotton lawns. The sample dress was made in a Japanese crinkled cotton, 81 gsm.

Fabric usage
The cutting layout and fabric requirements are based on View A. 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 5-6.
