Summer style doesn’t get much easier than dresses. And thanks to their beautiful open stitches, crochet dresses are perfect for warm weather.

Those open crochet dress pattern stitches can’t be worn alone, though. Pair your crochet dress with a full-body slip or basic tank dress underneath, or just wear it as a cover-up at the beach.

Style your summer with the beautiful open stitches of a crochet dress pattern.
