Fearless Wedding Dress Crochet Pattern Guide

Description

Step into your main-character moment with the Fearless Crochet Wedding Dress—a romantic, movement-filled design inspired by the golden glow and twirling energy of Fearless by Taylor Swift.

This is more of a pattern guide than it is a regular pattern. It is so extremely custom to your body, and your undergarments that this is more like a guide than a true pattern.

PATTERN NOTES:
* Skill level: Experienced

* Made to measure, therefore gauge is not important

* Construction Steps: The skirt is made in panels which are then crocheted together. Once the skirt is complete, attach at the waist and work your way up. Sew work to corset. After the mid section is done, the pleats are crocheted separately and sewn on. The straps and sleeves are added, and then the hem of the skirt is last.

* If you have an adjustable dress form, this will help you create a finished piece that fits really well.

* Chart and written instructions for the skirt panels are included
