White/Blue Crochet Dress |
Blue/White Crochet Dress |
This is one of my grandma's dresses. It is not for sale! |
To the left is the dress I used as a pattern to design my
own. As a
child, I sat at Grandma's feet making endless crochet chains while she
whipped out variations of these dresses. The standard pattern called
for
a wooden spoon to go through the neck and a wooden fork went crosswise
through the sleeves to make a "person" in a fancy dress, and it was
usually
used as a kitchen decoration. She also made some with a hanging loop
that
I guess were technically considered potholders (kind of thin ones, I'd
think!) but were usually used as a refrigerator decoration.
I thought it would be nicer as a cute little dress on a hanger, suitable for a decoration in any room. The above two are the ones I have completed so far. I am currently working on a shaded pink and white one right now. I can take orders for different colors. Comments: See color
list for custom choices. Made with crochet thread and hung on a
purchased
miniature metal clothes hanger..
