This crochet lacy love dress pattern was developed from my Lacy Love Poncho. The dress is started from a yoke with pineapple stitches, the bodice is made of chains and shell stitches. I chose self-striping cotton yarn for an ombre effect.

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch (counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 🙂

Special stitches used: 

3dc- V stitch: ( 3dc, ch2, 3dc ) into same stitch or space.

This crochet Lacy Love dress pattern fits size L ( chest size: 36 to 38 inches )

Skill level: Experienced

Gauge: 12 double crochet stitches x 5 rows approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
