About This Design
The Ivory Braided Midi Dress is a statement crochet garment designed for those who love texture, structure, and effortless elegance. The repeating cable braid stitch runs the full length of the skirt, drawing the eye downward and giving the silhouette a long, fluid feel.
The puffed balloon sleeves add volume and a modern editorial touch, while the ribbed cuffs keep everything neat and wearable. A matching belt ties at the waist, defining the silhouette beautifully without being fussy. The scalloped hem is the finishing detail that sets this dress apart.
Styled here with nude heels, it works equally well with ankle boots, loafers, or sandals. It is a versatile piece that moves naturally from casual daytime wear to an event or celebration.
