Iloinen Piccolo
Dress
Color: pink, orange
The Iloinen dress has a slim fit, a straight top, and a flared cut hem, and it features the Piccolo pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. The mini dress has an O-neck with a concealed zipper in the back seam and side panels with pockets in the front seams. The dress has long slim sleeves and darts at the front waist that give it a more fitting shape.
This product is made of a cotton and linen blend twill, which contains 65% organic cotton and 35% linen.
In 1953, the very year she joined Marimekko, Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi created Piccolo, a striped fabric pattern painted with vivid brushstrokes. Three years later, the Jokapoika shirt made from the fabric appeared in stores and the streets – for good, it seems.
