Long or Short dress
A 1960s pattern to crochet a gorgeous short sleeved maxi or midi dress (the pattern contains both dresses), in an openwork lacy pattern, shown here in beige/green and gold. You can make the sleeves longer or by adding more rows. Make it in white or cream for a bohemian Ibiza beach look, a dark color for a warm winter dress or in bright color for a fun girly look. Great dress for winter and summer!
