sunflower crochet

Sunflower dress

Hi!!!

It was almost a year since I made this small summer dress just in time for my summer getaway :) drew a sketch of the dress and got inspired to make the stitch for the sunflower motif :)

Disclaimer, I have a notebook with already builtin drawing of tiny girls in poses, so do not get mislead that I know how to draw croquis!

 

Anyways, so after crocheting 3 layers of the floral motif  in pale yellow with leaves in blue green hues, I decided to crochet the top layer in white :) just so to emphasize the design below but still using the same motif.

Then the rest of the body is done in ch mesh :) i made sure that i partitioned the stitches in parts where there would be ‘folds’ and stretches because of the upper body’s curves.

Then i filled in the gaps by just crocheting dc’s in between :)

Then continue crocheting the upper part to form the upper part. A little shaping for the sleeves and the neckline :) Ohh… some small florets for the neckline :) and voila :)

Tada! the sunflower dress

I added some tassels below the hemline :) just for a little flirty look. And because I am not a pretty model, I imported my husband’s cousin to model the dress for me :) and it looked so pretty. well, she is so pretty 😀
