The dress design is classic, timeless, and easy to work with. It is recommended to choose a thin crochet yarn to prevent the dress from becoming too heavy. The instructions include pictures to make the crocheting process easier.

Read through the instructions before starting. The dress is crocheted starting from the waist. Begin by making the flowers. Each crocheted flower piece measures 10 cm, so you can adjust the size of the dress according to your own measurements: 7 (8, 9, 10, 11) flower pieces. The flowers are joined together with yarn loops to form a belt, and then crocheting begins from the upper edge of the belt towards the upper part of the dress. It’s advisable to adjust the belt so that it fits nicely around the chest. This allows for customization according to one’s own body shape.
