CloseThe Rare Bird Magdalena Crochet Duster is beautiful over everything. This long, open front vest duster is pieced together from cream crochet and lace in a mix of patterns, then distressed so it arrives with the soft, heirloom look of something found in a grandmother’s cedar chest. Down the back, a column of crochet medallions opens into a band of open weave crochet, then spills into a wide panel of floral lace that finishes in a pointed handkerchief hem.
The Magdalena is the layer that finishes the look. The open weave lets whatever you wear underneath show through, so a printed tee, a tiered skirt, or a simple tank all take on a new texture. A smooth fabric band trims the front opening for clean structure, while the sleeveless, vest style cut keeps it light enough to wear well into warm weather and easy to layer over long sleeves when it cools off.
No two panels are the same. Crochet medallions, scalloped edging, and dense floral lace sit side by side in true patchwork fashion, giving the Magdalena more depth than a single pattern crochet cardigan. The distressed finish is intentional and part of the charm, so it looks lived in and well loved from the first wear.
Layer it over other Rare Bird pieces for the full collected look, like crushed velvet ruffle bell pants and a western print mesh top. Pair it with denim jeans and boots for an everyday western boho outfit, or wear it over a slip dress for something softer and more romantic. Turquoise and silver jewelry, a felt hat, and stacked cuffs bring out the vintage cowgirl side of this piece.
One size. Fits sizes 2 to 2X. The open front, sleeveless cut drapes easily over a range of body types, and the asymmetrical hem falls long, to about the knee or below on most frames.
Because this piece is open weave crochet and lace, treat it gently. Hand wash cold or use a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag, and lay flat to dry to protect the shape. Avoid hanging when wet. Refer to the care label included with the garment.
