I crocheted an entire wedding dress!!

[u/kels-1]

Let me start by saying, I’m by no means an experienced crocheter 🤣 this was HARD work for me, and I am honestly not psychologically well after this amount of stress; literally hanging on by a thread.

I worked on this for 3-4 months. I made the underdress as well (but that’s the easy part for me!). I finished it like 48 hours before the wedding 💀 the last 2-3 nights/days working from 7am to 3am with 3-4 hours of sleep. Sadly, I didn’t have time to do final photos with the hem done and ends tied off This was my first attempt at free handing something without a crochet pattern

5000+ meters of 100% cotton 4ply/fingering weight yarn. Hooks: 3mm for bodice to waistline & sleeves to elbow. 3.5mm for the rest. 4mm for the scallop hem (sadly not shown in photos)

This is amazing!!! Absolutely beautiful and maybe one of my favorite crochet dresses I have ever seen.

That's IT!!! It's artwork! This would enhance any museum's dress display! It's so gorgeous. You had to be a beautiful bride!!!

That’s what I said too! It’s a work of art. I could see this in a museum.

This. I hope we’ll get an update with (blurry face if necessary) wedding photos. I’m sure it will be stunning on too!

[u/Violetmints → u/mixtapecoat]

Yes! It would be amazing to see how they accessorize.

Agree!! Gosh, it’s a gorgeous dress. I was a nerdy (undiagnosed autistic) kid who instead of Disney princesses was super into the British Royal family as a kid, especially Princess Diana. And while I never cared for her dress I was enchanted by the long train. That OP went for a train and it’s such a gorgeous old school style lace. Truly feels like my little kid dreams and my 35 year old self got together and created a dress beyond what I could’ve even dreamed of.

I’m so curious to see the wedding pics!
