Taimi is a fashionably simple sewing pattern that includes a top and a dress variation. Both variations feature a voluminous, gathered hem, and a round neckline and armholes that are finished with binding. The top is hip-length, and slightly longer in the back. The dress waist seam is curved, its hemline comes down to the ankle, and it has handy in-seam side pockets.
