I am Lotus, a versatile garment that gracefully blends elegance, comfort and modern style. I can be made as a top, a short dress, a long dress or a skirt—with 50 variations to choose from.
My top is simple yet structured, featuring a side bust dart. You can opt for a round neckline or a V-neck.
My dress versions feature a gathered skirt at the waist with pockets, and can be styled with or without a removable belt. Each version can be buttoned at the front or not, and I offer sleeve options from sleeveless to short, ¾-length, or butterfly sleeves.
I also come as two skirt styles: a mini skirt and a long skirt, both gathered at the waist finished with a fitted waistband and front buttons.
Level: Simple

RECOMMENDED FABRICS
For Lotus we advise to choose lightweight to medium weight woven fabrics: poplin, viscose, Tencel, Tana lawn, chambray, light crepe, lightweight denim, silk, linen, washed cotton….
All the fabrics used are MeetMilk fabrics. To help you choose your fabric, here are the ones we’ve used for each version:
The long dress is made using Mellow crispy crepe from MeterMeter.
The mustard sleeveless top worn with the matching skirt is sewn using a Smooth Drape Twill from MeterMeter.
For the crop top we used a Cider Saba Sheer from MeterMeter.
The stripy skirt is sewn using a Meet Milk organic cotton fabric from Minerva.
For the top with butterfly sleeves we used the Vida Voile from MeterMeter It is lightly see-through so we changed the finishing at the neckline with bias binding rather than a facing.
MEASUREMENTS & YARDAGES
PAPER PATTERN
All seam allowances are included in the pattern.
The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.
The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. If you prefer a ready-to-cut pattern, try the pdf version as pieces do not overlap with each other.
Size 36 to 46. See sizing guide above.
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Caring for your fabrics is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity. Here are some essential fabric care tips to make your clothing last longer and look great.
First and foremost, always check the care label on your garments. While most fabrics benefit from similar care, certain items like wool may have specific instructions. For general care, wash your fabrics in cool or cold water. Hot water can degrade fibers and cause colors to fade.
Avoid using chlorine bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric over time. Instead, choose a phosphate-free detergent. These gentle detergents clean effectively without harming your textiles.
When it comes to drying your clothes, it's best to tumble dry on a low setting. This helps prevent shrinking and unnecessary wear and tear. For the best results, dry similar colors together to avoid color transfer. If you want to maximize the longevity of your fabrics, consider line-drying your clothes. This method reduces the risk of damage from the dryer’s heat and can also save energy.
Ironing your fabrics? Always check the appropriate heat settings based on the type of fabric you are working with. Utilizing the right heat can help you avoid burns and preserve the integrity of your garments.
If you have any delicate items, laundering them in a mesh bag can provide extra protection during the wash cycle. Always be mindful of embellishments and finishes when caring for your fabrics.
Ultimately, proper fabric care ensures that your clothes continue to look fresh and new. By following these easy tips, you can enjoy your favorite garments for years to come.
