After making the knitted dress for Connie I knew I just had to turn my hand at trying to make a little crochet one to match for my Millie (size 1). I used Debbie Bliss Ecobaby, again, in a gorgeous olive shade (available in my shop for $9.50 a ball)...
I love how this one turned out even more so than the knitted version (is that possible).... The ruffle is just perfect and the slight flair on the sleeves divine!!!!

But my most favourite part of all is the handmade buttons on the back, they really do set the whole thing off don't you think???So with all of this crochet excitement I'm now working on a size 3-4 and am hoping to have it finished today... What do you think??? Would you like me to post the pattern up here for both sizes when I'm done??? Maybe you have a size in mind that you'd like instead, measure the chest circumference and pop it into my comments... I'm no genius but I'll do my darnedest to create a crochet dress pattern to match...
love love love it. I popped your blog in my reader after seeing this dress on rav the other day. I would love you to post the pattern and if you're willing to upsize it that would be great but any size would do. My daughters chest is 56cm, which is usually around a size 3 yet she is 5 yrs old. I especially love the ruffle.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. You are onto something here! Love everything about it - the concept, the colour, the buttons.
ReplyDeleteJodie, that is just darling, and it looks like it would be a pretty quick way to whip up a dress with some yarn and a little fabric. Very clever of you!

Ohh yes, a size 12 ladies please!!! hehe! (I am kidding!well...only a little!)It just looks so very cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Jodie, that is even more adorable than the knitted one. I only learnt how to crochet hats so I dont know how I would go crocheting that adorable dress. Are we going to have some modelled photos of them both soon!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, well done Jodie
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dress! I would love to make one for my neice .. I am shocking with kid sizes ... I sent down size 0 for a newborn and my sister laughed at me:) What size would fit a 1 yr old??
ReplyDeletethat is just gorgeous.......shame my girls are too big to wear these.
ReplyDeleteLove the dresses.. My fav is the crochet one:)
ReplyDeletethat olive is a great colour. Hope your shop is going well for you.
What a lovely blog you have! I stumbled across this somehow but I am not leaving! :-) Definitely would love the crochet pattern for the dress, my daugher is 5/6 so I imagine that would be bigger sizes.
ReplyDeleteHi Jodie, your crochet version is fantastic!! I would love to have a go at this pattern! My 2yr old's chest measurement is 54cm. And thank you for such an inspiring blog, I have been following you for awhile now and this is the first time I have left a comment!
ReplyDeleteToo cute Jodie! The crochet version has turned out so well. Maybe its time I put down two sticks and picked up one...
ReplyDeleteIt's such a gorgeous dress!!! I really liked the knitted version but I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Jodie that is just gorgeous. Love the colour and love how you combine it into a dress. Very special.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour, perfect buttons, it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOooh, so sweet! Your little dresses are adorable. I love the yarn-fabric combo.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous....might be my next project for our little Millie after I finish knitting the little mouse...
ReplyDeleteThis is delightful and judging by the comments I'm not the only one who thinks so! Can't wait to see the pattern, I am definately going to try this one.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE the crochet pattern - it is absolutely adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat is a winner in my books also!! I loved the knitted one but the crochet one is divine....I wonder if it would work for us big girls??? It is so cute :-)
ReplyDeleteYes! Please post the pattern for any and all sizes possible!!! It is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That is just so cute! I love the crocheted top of that dress. It makes the dress look so special! Well done! I came here via Peg's blog and love your stuff. Did you use cotton for the crocheted bodice?
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, I just found your blog and love it! This dress is adorable! I'd love the pattern in a 5-6 (ish). Wish I had smaller ones to make it for!
