💃 The Buenos Aires Tassel Dress: Casual, Comfortable, and Unmistakably Feminine

Looking for your next warm-weather wardrobe win? Meet the Buenos Aires Tassel Dress—a loose-fit tunic with unexpected charm.

We stitched ours in a bamboo slub for breathability and drape, but this pattern is designed for lightweight, stable knits—think bamboo, cotton, or linen blends. It’s intermediate-friendly, wears like a dream, and delivers just enough detail to feel special.

Want to personalize it even more?
Add tassels from Mood Fabric, pom-poms, or fringe to the hem or sleeves—our pattern includes easy-to-follow directions for customizing your trims.

✂️ Why You’ll Love It:

✔️ Flattering low waist & curved neckline
✔️ Straight hem for easy finishing
✔️ Relaxed fit with feminine flow
✔️ Perfect canvas for trim embellishments (instructions included!)

Whether you're headed to the beach, brunch, or simply running errands, this dress gives you style without the structure—making it a go-to for anyone who values comfort with polish.🌿
