White Crocheted Tunic

I found this photo in the internet quite long time ago, save it and had forgotten about it until today. I always like to crochet with white thread, thus when I saw this photo, I was thinking to make one for myself.

I think except for the lace part, everything else made from single crochet. I don't think I want to do that, since I really don't like single crochet. I will look at my stitch dictionary and choose other stitch.
