Size inclusivity - Like people, patterns come in lots of different size ranges. We know how frustrating it can be to navigate pattern choices when many of them are inaccessible.
Therefore, to help make your life easier we have included the Hip > 50” tag to easily indicate which designs are more size inclusive. Browse the full Hip > 50” range.

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.
Fit and size:
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.
Fabric recommendations:
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). Both fabrics are from The Fabric Sales.
