Thread crochet blessing dress

I actually bought the pattern for this dress back in Japan when I first got interested in Thread crochet.  We weren’t pregnant yet, but getting ready for it.  Then the next baby was a boy, so this didn’t work.  Then we had a miscarriage and THEN got pregnant with this little girl.  But because of the miscarriage I was nervous to start it, and couldn’t quite get as invested until pretty far along into my pregnancy.  Good thing I get manic once I get started.  I finished this dress start, restart (the gauge wasn’t quite right and after doing half the top I restarted) to finish took 2 weeks!

Making the under dress was more of a challenge.  I had to make the pattern up myself.  The dress itself fit great, but the under dress was a bit too tight!  But isn’t this dress exquisite?  You can’t see it but there are small pink beads crochet into the dress.  I bought a second pattern from the same designer.  I wonder if I’ll get to make it ever (hint hint hubby!)

It had a sweet little hat too.  I should have made it bigger as well, it barely fit around her noggin!  We moved when she was 5 weeks old so I didn’t get around to getting her professional pictures taken until she was 2 months old!  Luckily it still fit, barely!

These shoes!  SOOO precious, but the shoes I made to fit the pattern didn’t even come CLOSE to fitting my Sasquatch.  I doubled the footprint size, and it was still too small in the end.  But it fit for this one day, and really that’s all it needed to fit for!

      kay- we’re remodeling so I can’t get to the pattern still, but I did think to look up the old pay pal info. I’m not sure if any of this still works though. The sellers name was Sharon Wilson, her EBAY seller id was crochetilred and her email was angel {at} skyviewmail.com I’m not sure if that was the name or email on the pattern though. I’ll try to find that info still too! the name of the pattern I ordered was “Crochet Christening gown pattern – Beaded Diamond dress” (although I also got the cameo rose dress)

    Saw this on Just Something I Whipped UP. but I guess neither of these darlings just got whipped up. She is absolutely beautiful and looks just like a china doll and your lighting is exquisite. The dress looks unbelievably complicated and it is absolutely divine. Together, it just takes my breath away. I am glad you captured it in such lovely pictures.

      Actually I did the toys in just a day each, and the dress just took 2 weeks. Once you get going it’s not to slow. But it took years to get to that speed! Thank you! It was really fun to make, I love that dress!

      I taught myself from books. But that’s how I learn best. I couldn’t have learned from someone else. I just don’t learn that way. If you really want to learn think about how you learn best, video? Books? teachers? And try that way! It’s fun once you get the hang of it!

    Wow. Such a beautiful baby and the dress is amazing! You did an absolutely beautiful job. I giggled a little at the fit issues. I made my daughter’s blessing dress when I was in High School, 12 years before she was born. She was chubby {love it!} and we didn’t bless her until she was 5 months old, so I had to let it out so it would fit her. The things we do for our special babies on their special days.

    Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I had one too and it is a hard thing.

I even had my grandma who is a master crocheter try it and she couldn’t get it to work either… Did you have any trouble??? I’m so sad… I wanted to make it so bad but it just frusturating me…

      It was almost 4 years ago for me, so I don’t really remember it all. I do remember that I made the first few rows and realized it was WAY to big. I guess my gauge was off. Anyway I ended up making it smaller. I took it in a bit. I don’t remember exactly how, but it involved looking at the layers between the body and the skirt and made sure I took out the right amount of stitches so it wouldn’t mess up the skirt. Again, once I’m done with the remodeling I hope I’ll be able to find it and maybe I can look at it and tell you exactly what I did. When do you need to be done by? I’m sorry, but I tend to take all directions with a little bit of intuition on the side! Oh… I think I might have the dress closer at hand than the directions. Maybe I can look at that for you.

    I emailed the designer and she has been helping me to figure it out. The pattern has some flaws but with her help it is going much smoother now. I’m not to good at figuring out a solution on my own when it comes to crochet. I just had my baby two weeks ago so I’m trying to get it done as soon as possible. Hopefully it continues to go smoothly from here on out. Thanks for your help. Don’t worry about finding the dress or pattern right now…i will let you know if I need anymore help!
