It's Not Summer Without You

It's not summer without you -- my darling crochet dress. I'm wearing a vintage 70's crochet dress from the label Nipa Hut. If you google nipa hut, you'll see images of stilt houses iconic of Filipino rural life. It makes sense that the label is called Nipa Hut since the dress was made in the Philippines.

I find the waist a bit low for me so I may adjust the waist tie a few inches higher for future wear. What I noticed about the dress is the crochet has a nice thickness, a good sign of quality and workmanship. It's not flimsy like today's wear one summer and throw away crochet dresses. I also like the finishing touch of the embroidered hem.

Ps- Oh, and I was super excited to take this shoot outside and not in the vicinity of my home.
