long sleeve crochet dress pattern Frank & Eileen Rory Maxi Shirtdress in Classic Blue Wash, L and timelessly elegant. By Anthropologie The Eleanora Long-Sleeve

Dress runs small size up one

We also love the white-and-black striped design detail at the bottom of the dress

If you are hosting a party and it is buffet style, 2-3 ounces per person should be good

Which made me wonder What DO YOU call it

Unleash your inner mermaid and let the adventure begin!
