Vanessa Montoro Layer Dress Variations

:) So this is it - my confession! It is the pink Vanessa Montoro strapless flouncy layered dress that pushed me down the slippery slope of this total crochet mania! :) All its variations are irresistibly awesome... Thanks for the inspiration Vanessa! :)  

Dropdead Gorgeous Drop Shoulders Crochet Dress

OK guys... here is a dropdead gorgeous dress that I have been losing sleep over in a very, very long time. This will be definitely one of my next projects to make for this summer. I have posted the pics of the technique of how to get the separate rounds of square motif stripes attached together and the principle of how to add the ruffles at the same time courtesy of a very kind lady - Oma, who was so sweet in making the tutorial and sharing it. Still haven't made up my mind entirely as to the color I would like to make it, but I guess just plain white would be still quite awesome (and of course use thicker yarn as is used in the original... I gather ca. 50 gr/120 meters would be the perfect metrage.)

My Brazilian Ruffles Dress Update

Here is an update with where I am right now with my flouncy Brazilian dress. I am advancing slowly with my variety of ruffle layers and am quite happy and excited by how it is all coming out. In fact, I am really glad I decided to improvise and modify it as fancy strikes me as I go adding layer after layer... :)

Diane von Furstenberg Golden Crochet Dress

Still trying to figure out the main stitch pattern to this pretty dress. Seems a bit perplexing, but with a bit of tweaking, trial and error testing I believe I will get it right in the end. More is yet to follow...  

Awesome Freeform Style Crochet Dress

Little White Slip Crochet Dress

A pretty summery slip style crochet dress in layers. It appears to be made in the same technique as the Brazilian dress - all ruffle layers get attached onto a net tapered shaped base including the one on the very top. Just about any cute small doily pattern should do with semi-circles for the flounces added to each layer.  

Vanessa Bruno Athé Crochet Dress Spring Summer 2011

A pretty mesh crochet dress from the Spring - Summer 2011 collection of the French designer Vanessa Bruno Athé. Looks fairly easy to make and good project for a crochet knitter novice.
