Beautiful Crochet Wedding Dress Pattern. This is a translation of the Russian pattern:
Size: 44–46 (EU sizing)
The design is made using crochet.
You will need:
- 1000 g of white yarn (100% mercerized cotton, 289 m per 50 g),
- For the underskirt (model 7), you will need 450 g of yarn;
- Crochet hooks: No. 0.9 for Bruges motifs and mesh, No. 1 for guipure elements;
- A needle;
- Tailor’s pins;
- For model 7: 65 cm of viscose lining fabric (150 cm wide) for the underskirt;
- 15 small buttons.
The model is made using a combined technique that merges traditional types of needlework such as tape guipure (bodice and sleeves) and Bruges lace (yoke, individual motifs, and ruffles).
To begin, make pattern pieces from dense fabric, baste them together, and adjust the fit to the body (see fig. 6).
Mark the neckline contours on the back (in the shape of a heart), and adjust the pattern, making any necessary changes.
Using the basic charts No. 6, crochet one. “Heart-shaped motif” will be the compositional center of the design.
Then, crochet a variety of motifs such as flowers, leaves, trefoils, branches, etc.
Attention! The diagrams are not exact copies, but only show the principles of the crochet technique.
While working, we recommend improvising, varying the number, size, and method of crocheting the lacy petals, as well as the length and shape of the petal tendrils.
Some elements should be made using a cord (burdon), which will help create a relief (raised) effect.
To enrich the texture of the motif and contour you can enhance volume by crocheting stitches in the back loop only.
Once you’ve made the required number of elements, dampen, steam, and allow them to dry.
Now you can begin assembling the upper part of the dress.
To do this, lay out the motifs on the pattern, right side down, arranging them into the desired composition.
Secure the most suitable placement with pins.
Along the edge of the back neckline, lay out a “caterpillar” cord edging.
Sew together the points where the motifs touch using the main yarn.
Fill in the spaces between motifs with crochet with various mesh patterns, with or without raised elements, joining the individual parts of the design.
Once assembled, detach the completed piece from the pattern.
Edge the neckline, sleeve hems, and bottom of the bodice with Bruges lace tape.
Single crochet (sc) around the top “loops” of the neckline—5 single crochets in each loop.
Along the neckline and around the heart-shaped motif, add decorative embroidery (skan’) using yarn held double-stranded.
For the closure, on one side make thread loops (3 above the neckline, 12 below); on the other side, sew on buttons.
Next, finish the sleeve hems with ruffles using diagram 6p, consisting of six scallops.
Attach the finished ruffles to straight Bruges lace tape and then join them to the sleeves using mesh.
Along the waistline (just above the small ruffle (flounce) is made as the top tier in the following way:
Crochet a straight Bruges lace tape, and attach it every three “loops” into one “loop” of the straight tape that runs along the bottom edge of the bodice.
The skirt is made of lacy strips following diagram 6r, imitating the shape of a heart.
The first (top) ruffle consists of 13 repeats, the second of 14 repeats, and the third of 15 repeats.
Join each lace strip into a ring, sewing the first and last repeats together with a needle.
Decorate all the ruffles with embroidery (skan’) using yarn held double.
Each lace strip is attached to a straight Bruges lace tape.
Between the tiers of ruffles, crochet a diagonal mesh, attaching it to the arches (5 chain stitches each) of the straight tape.
While crocheting and assembling the tiers, constantly compare your work to the pattern template.
Tip:
You can adjust the size of the garment by changing how each row of scallops is attached to the straight Bruges lace tape:
- To reduce: join two arches into one.
- To increase: make two arches out of one.
The tiered connection between the ruffles (the inner part between each flounce) is made using a diagonal mesh, which provides a good fit to the body and allows for size adjustment to fit hip measurements from 90 to 100 cm.
This model has three ruffles, which, for a height of 160–165 cm, will fall just below the knee.
If your height is above 165 cm, we suggest a second variation:
The lower part consists of three lace strips arranged in a staggered (checkerboard) layout following diagram 6p.
The lace fabric is attached to an underskirt, which is sewn from viscose and worn under the dress.
