Jokapoika Dress

The Jokapoika cotton shirt dress has a relaxed, straight fit and it features the multicoloured Piccolo pattern. The dress has a pointed collar, a metal button closure, a chest pocket, and a separate belt. There are pockets at the side seams and long side slits at the hemline. The fabric is printed in Helsinki. Contrary to the picture, the belt doesn't have D-rings.

Our dresses are sewn using the whole width of the fabric, and therefore their appearance may vary. Each item is unique.

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 (every boy) shirt made from the fabric appeared in stores and the streets – for good, it seems.
