Crocheted Details
This dress features crochet accents around the bust that provide a contrast to the otherwise plain white.
Crochet comes from the French word for “hook,” which is fitting since a hook is what is used to create the pattern. A chain of loops is formed to eventually make a (purposely) holey look.
Although the craft’s tendency to be passed through the generations makes it seem like it’s been around for a long time, crocheting actually has a short history when compared to similar techniques, like knitting. It is believed to have started in the 16th century as a hobby for the upper-class ladies.
Crocheting can be done with a variety of different yarns and tools to create different looks. As SKY demonstrates with this maxi, crocheting certainly isn’t just for homemade scarves and blankets!
Accessorizing Beyond Yarn and Needles
This dress isn’t one you’ll want to pair with your crocheting supplies.
Since your feet will be covered with this maxi, you don’t necessarily have to worry about heels (unless you’re looking for an extra height boost). So, try Sam Edelman’s Ginnie Ankle Cuff sandals in nude.
