Design Details and Benefits
- Open crochet stitch worked in one piece from neckline to hem - means the texture reads the same throughout rather than changing at a seam
- Cutouts placed at the waist and hips rather than the bust - keeps the neckline wearable while still showing skin through the middle
The stitch is doing the job a lining usually would: it's open enough to see through in places, especially at the cutouts and the bust, so this reads as a beach piece rather than a going-out dress you'd wear without anything underneath. That's worth knowing before you order, because the mesh panel at the waist is genuinely bare skin, not fabric. Where it earns its place is the shape underneath the stitch, fitted through the hip rather than loose, so it still looks like a dress rather than a long cover-up, even with that much crochet built into it.
