Red Flippy Pique Dress

A sleeveless red dress in a textured pique knit, cut close through the bodice with a round neckline and a full, flared skirt that kicks out from a dropped waist seam. The circular hem gives the "flippy" movement in the name, falling in soft folds rather than stiff pleats.

The knit construction is worth noting to a parent choosing between fabrics: it moves with a child through a long afternoon of standing for photographs, sitting for a meal, and dancing at the end of the night, without the fabric pulling taut or showing strain at the seams the way a woven often does. The pique texture also reads well under camera flash, giving the deep red a slight grain instead of a flat sheen.

The colour and simple lines suit Diwali, Christmas and other winter holiday gatherings, as well as birthday parties and portrait sessions where a strong, saturated colour is wanted against a plainer backdrop.

Made in the United States from imported materials by HELENA & HARRY IV CO., a heritage children's clothing brand established in 1989.
