Looking for an updated wedding dress pattern?

[dur30cat]

Hi everyone,

I may be mad but I am thinking of crocheting one as well if I can find a pattern that I like. So far, I have seen some but nothing is making me do the leap yet.

Especially since I just finished crocheting Lily Chin's dress featured in the IK Crochet with modifications (see entry here (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=26542)) , I *think* I might just want to do something unique (crochet or knit is fine) and yet relevant to my craft for my big day!

The style I am going for is sleek chic. So any suggestions are welcome!


Cheers
Emy

I think I have an idea of what you mean by "sleek chic"". Check out Victoria's Secret (http://search.victoriassecret.com/) and do a search for 'crochet'. There's a bunch and some are dresses (albeit 'short'). Is that what you are looking for?
Or at Neiman Marcus (http://www.neimanmarcus.com/), do the same thing.

Have you looked through CPC? There's a few that you could modify and use white, they'd probably work.

These are all short, so you'd have to make them longer, unless you wanted a short dress.

There's this one from Interweave. It'd be so cute in white with white ribbons:

This is an older pattern but it's cute:

This is an older pattern, again done it white it'd be cute. Maybe make the stripes either off white or your wedding colors. Or leave it all white:

You did say knitted so here's CPC's sister site:

Knitted wedding dress from Interweave and it's long:

Gold knitted sheath, done in white would be cool. I think it's long, looks it in the picture:

Here's some that are supposed to be for sale. You have to email her to find out the prices and to order. They're older patterns but maybe you can modify them.

Couple of dresses on here, including one wedding dress:

Here's one, probably not your style but here it is:

Thanks to both of you...the idea of checking out the Neiman Marcus and Victoria Secret's is great since they are both unavailable to me locally.

Empress_busy_bee -- you have posted some great links...I am going to check them out!

Do keep your suggestions coming!

What about this dress. It might be pretty in white and a lot longer.

OR this top if you just lengthened it as long as you wanted it.

Wow! Ladykingfisherg.......that Gown is Sensational! Where is the pattern? Is it available on line or in a booklet?

[SDmom]

The dress you did from Lily Chin was great! I think that would look nice in white for your big day!

Thank you! I designed it looking just at different patterns and pictures.Once I found a beautiful shape of a dress and I used that for this dress. Unfortunately I wasnt so brave enough to challenge myself and do it myself so it was crocheted by one woman who does that as her job. But the pattern is basically one flower :D
