You can make a top by only attaching the first tier, a midi dress with two tiers, or a floor-length gown byadding a third tier.

Fit and size:
Choose your size based on your bust measurement. This dress is an oversized look. The recommended positive ease is 2–3"/5–8 cm at the bust.

Anastasia Lapsuy is 56"/142 cm tall and wears the CLOUD top in size 5 and Ajak Majok is 66"/168 cm tall and wears the CLOUD midi dress in size 2.

Fabric recommendations:
CLOUD works best in non-stretch, light to medium weight woven fabrics. Jasmin prefers a stiff cotton fabric for this piece as it can hold its voluminous shape. Choose a rayon/viscose fabric if you want a more romantic, flowy look. You can also make the CLOUD dress in a sheer fabric such as chiffon and wear it over a simple slip dress for a more elegant look.

The gingham sample dress is made from “Garden Party Olive” (52% linen/48% cotton, 6.19 oz/210 gsm) and the petrol blue sample is made from “Organic Cotton Poplin Diesel” (3.7 oz/125 gsm). Both fabrics are by Merchant & Mills from Lilly Paris.

Files:
A4 (home printing) and A0 (copy shop printing) PDF files with layers, sizes nested. Sewing instructions are in a separate PDF file. As an extra, this pattern also includes “Paper saving pdf files” where each size has its own more efficient layout. If you only want to print one size, using these files is one way to reduce the amount of paper needed.
