crochet sexy dress pattern

*****

Finally found time to update this top down crochet dress pattern to my current writing style :).

NOT a single STITCH or CHART were changed though!

So, what was adjusted then?

– Added a new cover photo on page 1. Alas, I was not able to show photos of the front on me at the time of publishing this dress pattern – on November 3rd, 2017 [checked the day on Ravelry :)] :), therefore most photos showed my belly covered. For the PDF I took a photo of this dress laid flat in 2017.

– Font changed to size 11.

– The majority of pages are now easier to browse on tab or mobile.

– Some explanations were simplified.

– Added a note that recommended hook sizes are for the designer’s tension only. I really want you to SUCCEED in making this dress or top, therefore please allow time to check your gauge in every clothing project you make. You might crochet tighter or looser than me.

Please download this New Year’s Dress pattern from your Ravelry library. Updated PDF was also sent to all crocheters who have purchased it in my other shops.

P.S. Yes, I deliberately wanted to create this dress without a well-defined waist – silk stretches, so by the end of the day the waist-rows move slightly toward hips 😄. Plus, the well-defined waist looks perfect on thin catwalk models, while this dress pattern was designed for REAL women, with all our vast “crochet experience” around our bellies 🙆‍♀️

Initially I wanted to crochet another dress, but it would require more time:

My husband noticed:

H: I bet you will not finish it this year! And even if you do, you won’t be able to take good photos in late autumn.

Me: Really? The forecast is good this weekend …

H: Yea, but this thing hardly covers your bust! (indeed! :)) It’s a lot of work!

Me: What would you say if I finish it as a mini dress by Sunday? 🙂

H: Lol, but not just covering your butt a bit!!! 🙂 Not any cheap hooker look, you shall look decent in your age so we could go to a restaurant together! Ok, I’m pretty sure you won’t finish it, so I can promise you that cone of yarn (pointing out at one of my cones and laughing).

Me: You must be kidding 🙂 Ok, deal! And you will help me with photos, right? 🙂

I had a long way to go till I finish the flared skirt and just 3 evenings till the weekend. Since he’s mentioned the length, but not the width of the skirt I decided to crochet it straight, making only two increases for hips. Luckily the silk yarn stretched a bit and the length was almost perfect! Well, I had no time to dry this silk dress properly after washing. So, I put my moist project on a radiator for drying, hope it won’t damage the fiber. Here is the result and I’m expecting a new cone :). Great incentive! 🙂
