Dress codes for women?

Hi! I'll be spending a couple days in Helsinki in early September and am keeping the packing very light. Does anyone have a sense of whether I'll need a skirt, e.g. if I decide to visit Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral?
Many thanks for your input!

I visited the Uspenski in May and wore pants.

Funny enough, my husband was asked to remove his hat when we visited the Russian Orthodox Church in Tallinn's old town.

Go figure! Although I have heard of women being expected to cover their heads in churches...
