The iconic stripe, Tasaraita (1968), formed from evenly spaced tape, was a timeless print, but it was also an essential collection of clothing spanning underwear, nightgowns, and long-sleeved t-shirts.
Her background as a graphic designer was also visible in other prints. The rhythm of her patterns worked in different sizes, and sometimes Rimala used this as a visual effect within the same garment. In the Ryppypeppu overalls (1966), for example, the Suomu pattern (1965) was scaled down on the back.
