Design Details and Benefits
- Bodice worked in a tighter diamond crochet than the skirt - gives structure through the waist while the skirt stays open and fluid
- Fishtail shaping through the hip and hem - adds movement without needing a slit to get it
The two crochet densities are the detail that makes this dress work as a whole outfit rather than swimwear with a skirt attached - a tighter diamond crochet holds the bodice close through the waist, then opens into a much looser mesh through the skirt for movement and flare. That contrast is what gives it shape without needing boning or a lining to do the work. Worth knowing before you order: the skirt mesh is fully sheer, so this sits over a swimsuit or nude-toned underwear rather than being worn on its own for full coverage.
