We’ve been lusting after the retro-style dresses Ruby Chic Originals has to offer for quite some time now. And although their cream-colored, crochet frocks are completely adorable, this 1960s-channeling number with it’s scalloped hemline and sweet bow is just killing us. The mod design of the dress originates from a vintage sewing pattern the duo used to turn herringbone wool blend fabric into a magical mini for the cooler months. Check out the amazing outfits this Arkansas-based design team churns out this way.

Michelle Chan designs an array of sickeningly sweet kiss-lock coin purses fashioned out of patterned fabric.
