28 Reasons Why We’re Hooked on Crochet Dresses

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.
