NOTES ABOUT DESIGN

The Desire Dress design has a modular construction. Each circle motif is crocheted individually, and the final round serves as the joining element, seamlessly connecting them.

The beauty of this design lies in its versatility. By joining the motifs from top to bottom, you have the freedom to customize the length according to your preference. Whether you envision a stylish top, a trendy tunic, or an elegant maxi dress, this pattern accommodates all three versions flawlessly. Moreover, the dress’s sleeves can be tailored to your liking, allowing you to choose between short, 3/4, or long sleeves.

As you progress to the waist length, an additional round is introduced to the motifs, enhancing the dress’s width around the hips. This thoughtful detail adds a flattering silhouette and ensures a comfortable fit.
