Glamming Up Crocheted Maxi Dresses

Wednesday, July 6, 2011 • by Karla Mae

Love crocheted maxi dresses but scared it might be too granny-like to have wear it? We admit, there’s a thin line between frumpy and pretty but here are a few tips you can follow to be chic in crochet!

1) Crochet-trimmed

Get a dress trimmed with crochet or is not a full on crochet dress. It makes your look more modern and fresh because crochet is a good embellishment without being too gaudy. Plus it also gives your outfit an air of romance.

2) Sexy It Up

More than anything, you want to avoid looking like a doily. If you’re getting a full-on crochet dress, make sure it’s figure-hugging more than a loose fit. Then pair it up with organic-looking accessories or fierce metallics.

3) Mix It Up

To make crochet look young, get them in young colors or mixed with basic fun prints such as stripes.
