The LOU Shirt is a timeless unisex shirt for children age 18 months to 12 years old with optional cuffs, three neckline options and a clean finish using facings and French seams on the reverse.
The LOU pattern along with all other patterns in the Atelier MIMITO collection, was designed for your child to grow into, so you don’t have to change their wardrobe every few months.
