MAKEMECHIC Crochet Lace Mini Dress

A crochet-lace mini in white with a cap sleeve, a shirred bodice and a flared hem that swings, cut high at the waist so the flare starts early. The texture of the crochet is the pattern, and there is no print to compete with it. It is the dress for a garden and for the photograph in it.

Crochet lace is open, so a slip goes under it and the card says so. The shirring at the top forgives a size between two letters; the flare below it asks nothing of the hip. It wants a cold wash in a bag and a flat dry, because a wet crochet hung on a hanger grows.

One of 165 on the dresses rail in the MAKEMECHIC lineup. It also answers to mini dresses, crochet. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
