I’m in absolute love with all of these gorgeous crocheted dresses, shoes and shirts designed by Helen Rödel and sold under her Rödel Latin America label. They are classy, elegant and subtly sexy.
Handmade crocheted dresses from Rödel Latin America’s Astro line are completely made from various types of yarn and yarn alone; no sewing was involved.
What can I say about the crocheted shoes? I am not a shoe girl but I would love to have them for warm weather wear. However, right now I’d settle for the Rödel Latin America crocheted turtleneck. It would be perfect for the crazy cool weather we’re having in my neck of the woods.
