This complete crochet yarn pack contains five balls of James C. Brett It’s Pure Cotton DK in Antique Rose, the shade used for the original Celicia dress, together with the full written crochet pattern.

About the Celicia Summer Dress

The dress is constructed from individual floral crochet squares, joined together to create a beautifully patterned fabric. Each square features a central flower surrounded by delicate openwork, giving the finished garment an intricate appearance without losing its light and airy drape.

You can make the shorter version using 20 squares, or add four additional squares around the hem to create the longer 24-square version. The straps are added after the main dress has been assembled, allowing you to adjust their length for a comfortable fit. The fringe is optional, so you can choose between a clean crochet hem or a more dramatic, movement-filled finish. 

A Dress Made for Summer

The Celicia Summer Dress captures the feeling of long evenings beside the sea, warm sunshine and carefree holiday days. Its floral motifs feel both nostalgic and contemporary, while the soft cotton yarn makes it a beautiful choice for creating a special summer garment.

Style it for a seaside stroll, an evening meal, a summer celebration or simply because your handmade wardrobe deserves something extraordinary. This is not just a crochet project. It is a dress designed to be worn, enjoyed and remembered.
