Summer Dress

Midday, in crochet: bright orange holds a grid of small suns. Every square opens into a different centre, pink, blue, purple, yellow, soft cream, so the whole dress reads like a street of open windows at noon. It runs straight to just above the knee with short sleeves and a rounded neck, a shift for markets, beaches and slow lunches, thrown over a swimsuit or worn with trainers. The crochet is open and light, easy on bare skin in the heat, the organic cotton blend made for warm days. Each square is crocheted by Anatolian hands and joined, so no two land the same.
