RE: Irish Crochet Dress - The Picture Emerging
So much work and skills is visible in this dress.
When I was younger we had an old lady living next to us. This was her hobby. She was always offering to teach me how to do it. At that time I didn't find it very cool so I didn't want to accept her offer. Eventually, she got so annoying that I spent one afternoon with her and oh boy, this is just so difficult. Even to learn the basics was impossible to me. I think that she realized there was no talent in me as she didn't ask me to visit her anymore :D
Anyway, I love those roses. And the dress is just beautiful. It is a pity that you didn't show us how it looks like when it's on a model. I would love to see it. Oh, owning such a piece must be a pleasure.
Thank you for sharing and congratulations on finishing the dress! It is stunning!
Thanks @delishtreats for your kind comments!
Actually, I don't have the whole dress yet, what you see is only the front part, which is one third of the dress... (I still have to do the back, sleeves and the sides...).
But when I'm done, I'll surely be modelling it! :D
I would have loved to have a neighbour like yours! I'd say she would have found all mistakes in my dress...
But I really get how annoying it can be to have someone try and push their hobby on you...
It maybe the reason why you found Irish crochet so complicated, although I must say it's not as difficult as it seems, just really tedious and slow...
Thanks again for stopping buy!
I'm looking forward to the finished dress then :)
To me your dress looks perfect but I'm not the expert so she would maybe find something :) But I don't think so! :)
Have a lovely weekend!
Many thanks @delishtreats !
Ye, those experts always like finding something... ;-)
Enjoy your Sunday afternoon!
