This pattern is available as an independent PDF (Ravelry, Etsy, and other links included below) and is an original design from my new book Summer Crochet: 19 Delicate Designs with Simple Lace and Timeless Silhouettes, released in spring 2025

M/L: Top Length: 54 inches (138 cm), Bust: 33 inches (83 cm) and up, Pant Length: 89inches (226 cm), Waist: 25 inches (65 cm), Hip: 43 inches (110 cm), Thigh: 28 inches (70 cm)

Flat strappy sandals or low kitten-heel mules keep the outfit comfortable for hours, while a slim leather belt adds definition at the waist

It is ever so slightly tight across the bust on me, which I find with most shirt dresses, but as its a nice strong fabric I think I can get away with it

I think some of those crazy ways are still cute, but they can also easily feel a little dated
