#TAUKOdynamo

The DYNAMO dress is an ode to the traditional dress with a gathered skirt. The simple version made with one single fabric is a great base for colourful prints, while the version with two contrasting fabrics is a fun puzzle to put together in a slightly new way. “I can't wait to see what you come up with!”

As a child, Kaisa Rissanen, one of the co-founders of TAUKO, hated dresses, finding them impractical and restrictive. Nowadays, they have become part of her everyday wardrobe. What happened? Well, Kaisa started making her own clothes! The dresses had beautiful details and pockets (always!), and she could move around in them effortlessly.

From each pattern purchase, we give 50% to the designer. Our goal is to support independent creatives and promote a democratic and open society.
