Being totally inspired by what I saw in russian magazines ( Duplet and Moa) I could not resist to start this project. When it’s finished once, it will be a long evening dress (hopefully!) with long sleeves and a nice neckline.
I use motives from the book: Irische Spitzen by Regina Forster and some motives from Duplet magazines.
July: found finally the right material for the underdess (already the 2. try) and started to decorate the motives.
Jan 2013: finally finishes the last motives. Now I can start knitting the net but have to twist the yarn first.
Mai 2013 Almost forgot about the dress, have been knitting so much. Now I go on. Started with sewing a “dummy” instead of using paper on the styrofoam plate. It’s easier to handle.
June 2013 began to work the net
July 2013 net for the back mainly finished
Mai 2015…continued to crochet the net. Sides have to be closed.
2015-06-06….finally the dress is “ready”
Now it’s time to work around the neck and start with the sleeves.
2015-07-21 ….sleeves finished and sewed in. Last thing to do: bring the zip to right position and fix the under dress
2015-07-28 ….. done!
