This cute ball gown is made of fine cotton yarn.
The bodice has an elegant embroidered neckline and beautiful lantern sleeves, which are made as parts of the bodice and don’t require sewing. The waistline is accented with a silvery ribbon. The dress has a snap button fastening on the back.
The skirt is fluffy and has a slit in the front. The fluffy petticoat, which has tulle frills, is attached to the dress. The pattern includes detailed instructions on making the petticoat.

The work requires a medium crochet skills level and basic sewing skills.

The pattern contains 19 pages, including more than 20 step-by-step photos, written instructions and all the necessary crochet diagrams.
There is also the link to my Google Photo Album containing all the photos and diagrams of the pattern in large size.
