The Helsinki dress is a convenient and comfortable dress for all seasons. It has a loose fit with a back opening and a gathered skirt. There are options for long or short sleeves plus a sleeveless option. The neckline is finished with bias binding (and the armholes for the tank version), and it has two front pockets. The skirt is designed to be just about the knee but can, of course, be altered to your preference.
