Marimekko, shirt dress, print "Piccolo", by Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi.

SIZE: 36/8, fits S–L
MATERIAL: 100% COTTON

Marimekko shirt dress in the Piccolo pattern designed by Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi.

In the 1960s, this design was one of American painter Georgia O’Keeffe’s (1887–1986) wardrobe staples – she wears the dress, for example, in a famous picture taken in her home garden in the city of Abiquiú in New Mexico, USA in 1963. Always aware of her public image, the artist was known for her consistent style expression, favoring long-sleeved, full-skirted cotton dresses with practical pockets for her work tools.

Insignificant wear.
