The I AM Patterns Helios is a summer capsule wardrobe in one pattern! Containing 7 versions:

• Shorts, a skirt and trousers. These three versions have the same elasticated waistband with a drawstring. The skirt is a full circle skirt with Italian pockets. The shorts length is mid-thigh and also features Italian pockets. The trousers open elegantly at the front of the leg as you walk, and are finished with a rounded shape at the hem.
