CROCHET DRESS "a must have" for SS 15

Inspired by last weekend's Sunday papers fashion section on the "must have" crochet dresses for SS15 I thought I would share a few gems from the fabulous Mary Quant designs in our archive from the 1960's.

You have to remember the time and changes that were happening in the 1960's - the outrageous hemlines and hair cuts (not at all like your mothers!).  It must have been exciting....

  

  

People's interest in crochet again is exciting and there are magazines available full of fabulous designs; Inside Crochet, Simply Crochet etc
