A 60’s crochet shift dress. I have often admired the fashion in 60’s sit-comes and I wanted to re-create this iconic look in crochet. The dress is a fitted shift dress, but play around with the shape to best suit your style. Highly encourage you to do this!

Measure your bust, waist, and hips to determine which size will be the best fit for you. Pro tip – measure yourself in your underwear while in front of a mirror.

Combine sizes and stitch counts to get the perfect fit for your body. The model (me) chained for a size medium and at 20” decreased to accommodate her smaller bust.
