Let me quickly tell you, How I came up with this crochet boho mini dress which is perfect for styling over your favorite swimsuit or a bikini.

Well well well yeah just made my first crochet dress and I want it to be cute and lacey style and must be easy too!

Mmmm….. and I like white crochet dresses because the white color is perfect with the beach theme  I suppose.

The lace crochet stitches that I add to this crochet beach dress pattern is called fancy lace crochet stitch which is my favorite.

Simple & beginner crochet dress pattern.

This elegant summer mini dress is crocheted from the top down with 4 identical rectangles to create the top part of the dress.

If you can crochet rectangles then you can make this dress effortlessly.

The lace crochet stitch is actually simple all you need is a one-row repeat.

These fancy lace stitches I had used in many crochet top projects like Dolly crochet ruffle top and  Summer crochet tunic.

This lace crochet dress is truly an oversize dress that uses the tie to make it smaller at your waistline, how cool is that?

And the cold shoulder feature makes it look adorable isn’t it?
