Design Details and Benefits
- Leaf-pattern stitch repeated in even rows - keeps the texture consistent from shoulder to hem
- Flared cuff on an otherwise fitted sleeve - adds shape at the wrist without loosening the fit through the arm
A fitted crochet dress this long needs the stitch to hold its shape without stretching out by the end of the day, and the leaf pattern here is worked tightly enough to keep the silhouette close rather than sagging. The flared cuff is doing quiet work too - on a dress this fitted everywhere else, one point of volume at the wrist keeps the whole thing from reading as one long, narrow column. Worth knowing before you order: the knit is open throughout, so this is see-through in normal daylight and works as a layer over a swimsuit rather than on its own.
