Garment Details: The SWING slip-on dress is a practical everyday design with side pockets. It has a wide, hand-pleated hem that’s easy to adjust to different lengths – make it mini, midi, or maxi, according to your personal preference. If you’re looking for a convenient, loose- cut, and easy-to-make garment, this dress is perfect for you.
Designer: For the TAUKO Magazine co-founder, Kaisa Rissanen, the sound of waves will always be the sound of summer. Kaisa spent her childhood holidays at her family’s cottage in central Finland, beside a small, beauti- ful lake. Her SWING dress design is inspired by long summer days playing by the water with her best friend, wearing pleated dresses on top of swimsuits.
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 circumference. Add a recommended positive ease of 2.6–4.7"/7–12 cm. Pick the size that is the best match for your bust. Note: As this is a slip-on design, take care that your bust measurement doesn’t exceed the waist measurement of the finished dress. Tauko's sizing information can be found by clicking here. Finished garment measurements can be found by referring to the chart in images.
