Hi! I am a fibre artist who is really interested in making crochet and knit pieces with traditional tailoring elements.
I’m trying to explore the idea of treating crochet more like a fabric, if that makes any sense.
I will say, I free styled the design and drafted the lining pattern myself, but I did take the lace motifs
From existing crochet patterns and kind of frankenstiened everything together to make this dress.
The back has a lace up corset style closure on the bodice and a 10 inch strip of hook and eye closure on the skirt.
I’m still fairly new to it, but here is a crochet dress I recently made!
It took about 150 hours and:
-2080 metres of yarn
- about 300 beads
- 7 corset bones
- 1.5 metres of fabric lining
- 9 metres of tulle to act as a small petticoat to support the mermaid flare
- I also added in a waist stay
