The hardest working summer dress every woman should own.

Crochet is to summer what wool is to winter. 

Picture yourself wearing a beachy dress with an Aperol Spritz in one hand and a good book in the other – it's the ultimate combination for warm weather. 

Yes, it can look a bit intimidating, anything sheer usually is, but it's a lot more versatile than you think.

It's a fabric that is something of a chameleon, able to transform into anything you want it to be.

Pair it with cowboy boots if you want to give off boho vibes, or sandals if you want the world to think you're effortlessly chic. It can also work as a bikini cover-up, or a nice dinner dress when paired with heels.

It’s the perfect throw-on, and if the transparency of it scares you, you can wear a slip underneath for more coverage.
