Pattern Fantastique's "Ether Dress" Pattern
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.
Seam allowances are indicated and included in the pattern.
Sizing: 6-30 multi-sized pattern (Australian sizing; approximately equivalent to US size 2-26).
Skill level: Intermediate
Fabric suggestions – 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.
