Helsinki, the little dress to wear in all seasons
Because children want comfortable clothes above all to move in perfect freedom of movement, but girls also want style and trendy dresses, Ikatee has created the Helsinki pattern. Helsinki is a dress available in 3 versions: long sleeves, short sleeves & sleeveless , but you can also play with its length. Its loose fit ensures comfort and its opening in the back allows for quick dressing (which is not insignificant 😉). Front and back are gathered and two pockets are optional in front.
The Helsinki dress can be made from a wide variety of fabrics for a wide variety of looks (jersey, lightweight sweatshirt, denim, gauze, corduroy, and a mix of jersey and fabric). Ikatee's favorite is the two-fabric version for a matching tee-shirt and skirt look (e.g., jeans and stripes). A great basic for all year round!
