Working the Dress Body

- Measure the dress against your body to ensure it fits like desired.

Creating the Skirt
- Once you've reached the desired width, work additional rows without increasing to create the skirt portion of the dress.
Creating the Hip Measurement Chain
- Once the skirt portion is complete, create a chain that will serve as the hip measurement for the dress.
Completing the Skirt
- Work additional rows to finish the skirt portion, maintaining the established pattern.
Finishing the Top
- Single crochet around the top edge of the dress to create a clean edge and reinforce the structure.
Creating the Straps
- Use three strands of yarn and a 4mm crochet hook to create the straps.
- Start the straps at the top of the dress and crochet chains for desired length.
- Once the straps are completed, cross them at the back and weave in the ends along the top edge of the dress's back.
Finalizing the Dress
- Weave in any remaining ends and ensure the straps are secure and evenly positioned.
Try on the Dress
- Put on the dress to adjust the fit and straps as needed.
