The Sisko sewing pattern includes two variations: An elastic waist dress, and a crop top. Sisko has a unique layered and interlaced wrap bodice with ties. Both variations are sleeveless and have a scoop neck and a keyhole detail at the front. The dress features a midi-length skirt, gathered with an elastic at the waist. Both variations are maternity and nursing friendly.
Suggested Fabrics
Pick a light to medium weight knit fabric with 40 - 50% stretch. You can choose a drapey fabric, such as a viscose jersey, or a low drape one, like an interlock knit. If your fabric is light, interface the ties with a knit interfacing.

Sizing
UK 6 - 28 (approx. EU 32 – 56). Please check the size chart in the images and finished garment measurements. The pattern is drafted for a 172 cm (5’8″) tall person, so if like me you're on the shorter side of life you may need to shorten the dress.
