Tekniikka Piccolo
Cotton shirt dress
Color: dark blue, light blue
The Tekniikka shirt dress has a relaxed, straight fit and it features the Piccolo pattern. The long dress has a pointed collar, a button closure, and side seam pockets. The dress has a yoke seam and a pleat in the back, and it comes with a narrow separate D-ring belt. The sleeves have pleats, slits, and button closures at the cuffs. The side seams have slits at the hem.
The dress is made of 100% organic cotton poplin.
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.
