A crocheted wedding dress for Barbie!
On a whim I joined a knit or crochet "along" on Ravelry. The theme is "Barbie wedding" and the idea is to start in May, but true to form I never waited for the official start. Truth is I've never been much for group participation like that and I always end up doing my own thing. I already had the pattern and the 10/2 tencel in my stash so I got started. It took longer than I expected, but less than a week.
I love the little details, all the way from a beaded and beribboned headdress with pale pink veil down to a tulle crinoline and cute little beaded garter. Great fun. I may have to do this again some day.
It's a bit too delicate for my 3 year old granddaughter, Kaylen, right now so I think I'll get a doll stand and put it on display in my craft room until she and her little sister are old enough to handle it with care.
So pretty and so delicate!

ReplyDeleteI love all the little details! This dress is just ethereal...spun from clouds and spring flowers. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. It was a very enjoyable project done for no other reason than for the fun of it.
ReplyDeleteRuinwen, that's a perfect description. The tencel thread I used is so soft and fluid feeling.
That looks so beautiful, I love the details.
ReplyDeleteDescent detailed spring I love it but you can improve and make much better dress
