"The past week I've been wearing my Peachy Bikini Cover Top out in the garden and have realised that although I designed it as a bikini dress, it works perfectly over a simple strap top and shorts too! I've only ever worn bikini covers when I've been on holiday but now I'm determined to find other ways to style them, I think it could work with jeans and heels too? The stitch pattern uses a mixture of filet crochet technique (not tricky I promise!), slip stitch details and long stitches for the neckline which are really easy to master - if you can work a regular UK treble/US double then long stitches are no problem at all, I'll talk you through it too."
