The Ophelia Dress is a wonderful dress for anyone who is a beginner to garment making. The very simple silhouette and stitches are so easy but the end result will have you beaming ear to ear! The circular yoke and skirt are made from half double crochet stitches. There is a gorgeous (but easy) lace edging added to the bottom of the skirt and around the yoke. This lace edging uses chains, slip stitches, double and single crochet. The best part is, the pattern includes a detailed video on how to do it. Lastly, a simple trim is stitched around the collar, back of the dress and around each sleeve. I hope you enjoy making your Ophelia Dress as much as I did designing it!
