This is a versatile crocheted dress which can be worn as a fabulous prom, special occasion or even a wedding dress, but it also makes a gorgeous dress for everyday summer chic wear!

  • This dress has a back lace-up closure and is therefore easily adjustable to fit a variety of different shapes and sizes.
  • It is made in one piece from the top down, starting at the front neck edge. Increases are made at the beginning and end of each row to create the triangular shaped front panel.
  • The skirt part can be made to any length so the dress can be mini, knee or full length. Yarn quantities suggested are for the knee length dress as shown in the photos.
  • The skirt is made in rounds which are turned at the end of each round alternating between working on the right side and then the wrong side. This helps keep the seam super straight.
  • The pattern is designed using a cotton / bamboo mix DK weight yarn (also known as light worsted or 8ply). Other yarn brands and types can be used but the results might be different.

Measurements
Two sizes are provided although the pattern is adjustable, and guidance is given in the pattern for this. When wearing the dress, the fabric will stretch as it is pulled around to fit. Remember there is a lace up back making the dress fully adjustable to fit various sizes. For many sizes the back panels will not actually meet.
