A dead-ringer for one of the louche crochet maxi dresses made famous by Jane Birkin in the 1960s, this frock is both a little bit hippie and a little bit rock and roll. The banded neckline and columnar silhouette belong to the beau monde, but the crochet keeps it grassroots; Paris, je t'aime!

Mock turtleneck column gown crocheted with alternating circle and square shapes throughout; lined in black muslin from bust to ankle, but shoulders and arms remain exposed.  Woven tape trim outlines mock t-neck, bustline front to back, and sleeve edges.  Rear nylon zipper closure stops midway up back, then 5 hooks and eyes closing the remainder of the bodice; hook and eye closures at wrist.  One decorative rhinestone ball button at center back; 15 ½” left side slit.
