Last week I shared photographer Garry Winogrand’s image of a woman in a white crochet dress. There are so many versions of white crochet dresses and I got to thinking how great they are for the summer months. I figured it was a good time to roundup some patterns for you around that theme. Here they are …
1. Vintage 1950’s Crochet Dress Pattern
This is a McCall’s 1955 crochet dress offered as a free pattern online through Hook, Yarn and Needles the Old Stuff. The photo is from Ravelry’s Toyapack
2. Vintage 1970’s Crochet Dress Pattern
Here’s another free vintage crochet dress pattern but this one is from the 1970’s.
3. Classic White Crochet Dress
This DROPS dress is lovely with a classic, sophisticated sense of style. Note: the pattern is in British English. You’ve seen this one before in my previous roundup of 15 Beautiful Free Crochet Dress Patterns.
4. Ice Crochet Dress
This is another free DROPS crochet dress pattern. I love how the tiny bit of dark yarn really sets off the white of the dress.
5. Italian Crochet Dress Pattern
The pattern for this super cute crochet dress is written in Italian but also has an English translation. This crochet dress is worked in pieces and stitched together at the end.
6. Portuguese Crochet Dress Pattern
This free white crochet dress pattern is in Portuguese but it has a stitch diagram to work off of.
7. Russian Crochet Dress Pattern
Here’s one more foreign language crochet dress pattern, which also has a stitch diagram to work from.
8. Chanel Style Crochet Dress Pattern
I adore this Chanel-inspired crochet dress. The crochet pattern is available in several languages and is free through Ravelry.
Which of these white crochet dresses do you think you would wear?

I also Love the Chanel Inspired dress. I love the pattern and the way it clings to her but also is very loose. As soon as my exams are over and I have a little more space Im going to attempt my first dress. Those above are gorgeous.
Thank you for sharing these links!
Is the pattern available for the Gary Winogrand dress? It’s cute!
Pretty. I like 1, 5, and 7. Although the white dress I want a pattern for is the one featured on the ‘ad’ for designer crochet over on the right.
Thanks for this roundup. Perhaps I could make such a dress for my (much) younger sister :).
Everything very beautiful :)
what size cotton would one use for dress no 7 ?
I would try it in a size 3 or 5 cotton or even a lace weight yarn, but I haven’t made the pattern myself so that’s just a guess.
Is there an English version or translation for dress number #7
Not that I’m aware of but there’s a stitch diagram included to work from.
