Light Green 603 is a friendly, fresh green without a yellow cast – bright enough for summer tees and calm enough to wear all year round. Across a larger piece the shade reads even and clear, as this jersey is dyed in one solid colour.
At 220 g/m², Vanessa sits in the medium-weight range: it feels soft but a little firmer than thin shirting jersey, drapes smoothly and falls into soft folds rather than standing away from the body. The 5 % elastane gives good recovery, so the fabric stretches mainly across the width and resists bagging at knees and elbows.
The range is colour-matched to French terry and brushed sweat in the same colour code, so a top and a jacket stay in the same tone. Certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
What Vanessa Hellgrün is suitable for
- Shirts, long sleeves and dresses, since 220 g/m² is opaque enough while the fabric still drapes softly.
- Children's clothing and bodysuits, as 95 % cotton feels pleasant on the skin and the fabric is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
- Leggings and close-fitting patterns, because 5 % elastane provides stretch and good recovery.
- Larger pieces such as dresses or raglan shirts, as the 155 cm width makes cutting out easy.
Sewing tips

- Kombination mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode für Bündchen und Halsausschnitte.

Frequently asked questions
Is this jersey opaque?
At 220 g/m², Vanessa is a medium-weight jersey, so Light Green 603 is opaque enough for dresses, skirts and leggings. With very light shades it is still worth holding the fabric up to the light first.
How stretchy is the fabric?
With 5 % elastane the jersey stretches elastically, mainly across the width, and springs back into shape. That makes it a good choice for fitted shirts, bodysuits and leggings.
How do I care for it?
Wash at 30 °C, iron on a low setting, do not bleach and do not tumble dry. Treated this way, the colour and the elasticity stay intact over many wash cycles.
Does the fabric shrink?
Residual shrinkage is around 5 %, so the fabric is washed before cutting. That way the finished garment keeps the size you planned after the first wash.
