CROCHET: A very dainty high waisted empire or A- line dress. There is a similar (but thankfully not identical) version for a little girl too. (Perfect for summer bridesmaids.) It has a lacy stitch pattern but good coverage and with the shell edging and ribbon trim it is simple but feminine.
This easy to make sixties style is as fresh and wearable now as it was then and will take you almost anywhere! In this on trend blush/pink it is right in fashion but classic white or a bright colour would be equally pretty and black would be stunning for an elegant night out.
