From sun-drenched beach days to cocktail evenings, from peplum tops to chic dresses, Kaiko is the ultimate summer garment for all occasions. The best part: it comes in different CUP SIZES!
The variants go from short to long and include different silhouettes. A two-piece bodice, a one-piece bodice, a gathered neckline with a bodice underneath, skirt parts in different layers, wide shoulder straps or narrow ribbons... Everything is possible, from loose and simple to "over the top". As for the closure, we have two options: the button closure in the back makes for a tidy fitted silhouette, or add some fun with some trendy ties.
The front bodice piece comes in cup sizes A to G. Check your upper and full bust measurements to determine which cup size you fall into. You can make the narrow shoulder straps from straight ribbon and fit it to the length you like best or sew wide shoulder straps using the pattern pieces provided. The skirt pieces are generous, and you can sew as many layers on top of each other as you like for extra panache.
SKILL LEVEL: Adventurous Beginner - Intermediate.
SIZING: EU 34 - 62 / UK 6-34 / US 2- 30.

RECOMMENDED FABRICS:
For Kaiko, fabric choices abound, from airy cottons to elegant viscose and silk (like) fabrics. Because the bodice piece is lined, you can also use very light fabrics, like chiffon, or embroidery fabrics. But even heavy fabrics, such as jacquard or denim, will have a nice effect. They made the blue dress from a double-sided jacquard and it was quite thick. It gives firmness to the bodice and volume to the skirt part. So, you don't have to be afraid to experiment with some heavier fabrics.
