The Saltwater Slip

The Saltwater Slip is a simple slip dress with adjustable straps that can be layered or worn on its own. The pattern comes with two length options: above the knee, and tea length (with side slits). It also comes with optional side ties to add a bit of waist shaping.

Digital/PDF pattern printing may be new to you and changing your routine requires effort that you may not have time for. We get it! But take a look at the digital pattern benefits below:

• Access to a wider range of amazing patterns, even FREE patterns from your favorite designers 
• Pattern is printed on sturdier paper rather than tissue paper that can get easily ruined and disintegrate. 
• Having the file on your computer or in the cloud (forever?) in case you want to or need to print it again. 
• Supporting small, independent pattern designers who may not have the capital to invest in paper pattern printing
