The labor and love that goes into crafting crochet makes these dresses ones to keep indefinitely. Many of them are versatile enough to wear in a city; if you plan to do so, opt for ones that look less like cover-ups for maximum coverage while running around in a concrete jungle. Oftentimes, the dresses require specific undergarments such as nipple covers and tonal briefs, though if you are by the sea, a swimsuit is all you need.
It isn’t any wonder that a crochet dress is a constant offering for the spring and summer fashion season. On the runways this season, to name a few, JW Anderson proposed two mini crochet dresses, one in cobalt blue and another in cherry red, Michael Kors’s late ’60s/early ’70s collection featured two white versions—one floor-length and the other a babydoll with bell sleeves, while Ulla Johnson presented an ankle-length geometric-pattern maxi in pale blue and navy that was handmade by Peruvian artisans. Each designer’s take was different from the other and catered to distinct aesthetics.
