on a scale of 1-10 just how crazy would it be to crochet a dress?

[SheherazadetheGoat]

found a fabulous vintage pattern in a charity shop this morning.

Their is a picture of my mum (holding a 6 week old me) wearing a crotched dress. It was in the 70's and she was a 5'8" leggy redhead, she was also very thin. The dress was gorgeous and very short. Go for it.

I think it could be exceptionally cool (though what do I know, am a bit of a hippy at heart )!

Pic?

Are you good at it or will you lose the will half way through?

something along the liens of the green one but no sleeves but afraid of lookin g like this

ooh like it goat

I had one a few years ago, it looked good with loads of stuff. I do think you'd be mad as a bag of spanners to attempt to make one though. 14 out of 10.

Go for it if you've got the figure to carry it off. Crocheted dresses look absolutely stunning on a slim woman.

BTW my mum used to crochet clothes for us and she said it was far easier and faster than knitting - which she did as well.

42

what's with the numbers?

am off for a run!

42 out of 10..... see thread title.

When I was an ikl iklboo (about 9) my nana crocheted me...............

A FARKING BIKINI

To take on our hols to Spain for "paddling & splashing in the pool".

Er...wool....water...hot sun.....

needless to say my mum "forgot" to pack it

Pink n yellow it was too [bleurgh emoticon]

my crochet book has a bikini pattern if you what to relive your childhood!

It will look good with retro go-go boots.
