Garment Details: The PICNIC dress has an angular hem with large pockets and a fitted bodice, creating an articulated, fun, and sculptural silhouette. Two different necklines (round and boat neck) allow you to vary the style. Its playful hem with large, practical pockets is a head-turner, as are the pleated sleeves. The dress has been made for brides and for confirmation and retirement parties alike. The very name of this dress is enough to make you want to gather your friends, fill your pockets with picnic treats, and spend a whole summer day in the park.

Designer: Mila Moisio, co-founder and editor-in-chief of TAUKO Magazine, is a self-taught sewist and designer who learned how to make clothes when she was only 8 years old.

Sizing: This pattern is available in sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) Inclusive sizing from 31"/78cm bust to 57.5"/146cm bust. Choose your size based on your bust and waist circumference. Add a recommended positive ease of 1–2"/2.5–5 cm. Pick the size that is the best match for your bust and waist. Finished garment measurements can be found by referring to the chart in images. 

Suitable fabrics: The PICNIC dress works best in medium-weight woven fabrics. A cotton fabric with some stiffness, such as poplin, is lovely for this piece as it can hold its sculptural shape. The dark brown sample dress is made from “Ailish Brown Cotton Poplin Stretch” (98% cotton, 2% elastic, 3.1 oz/105 gsm) and the ecru sample is made from “Ivane Ecru Viscose & Cotton Twill” (64% viscose, 36% cotton, 5.16 oz/175 gsm).
