Shelia | Vintage 1960s crochet white sheath dress
The story:
Short but covered. A classic 60s silhouette. ;)
These remind us of London in the 60s, the beatles, high boots and the classic 60s bob haircut. Everything quite simple but yet so sleek it hurts. The short A-line dress silhouette certainly was a popular everyday dress you see on the high streets. And we can see why.
Easy to wear, still looks elegant enough for work, but also cute and flirty when paired with the right footwear.
Loving the little crochet details such as the hem and weave pattern on this white beauty!
