Crocheted wedding dress is the dream of needlewomen

Choosing a wedding dress for herself, each bride wants to have not only a beautiful outfit, but also an exclusive one. If your wealth is not at a high level, then to buy such a dress is very difficult. Fortunately, you can go the other way - knit yourself a wedding outfit. Yes, it is in such a simple but rather complicated way that you can get a truly unique and one of a kind wedding dress.

Brides who lived several centuries ago created their own wedding dresses themselves if they were not able to entrust this business to a professional.

There were no wedding salons before, and information about wedding dresses was not as accessible, extensive and varied as it is now. And the brides twisted as they could. Yes, and it was difficult to get quality material, so we used what was at hand: various variations of silk fabric, brocade and organza. But there were also brides who took a conscious risk and took lace patterns created with a hook as the basis of their future dress.

Now a knitted wedding dress is a rarity that you can not just choose in a wedding salon. The knitting process itself is a whole ritual, although complex, but interesting and fascinating.

If you do not want to knit a dress yourself, you will have to make an effort to find a knitted dress, but the result will be worth it.

Since dresses are created on the basis of lace, light and most often loose knitting, covers from opaque fabric are present in their design. It should be light and natural, so that the dress is not heavy, thick and uncomfortable.

This option for creating a knitted dress is most preferable, since with a very tight knit that does not require a cover, the outfit will be rude and uncomfortable.

No matter how varied crocheted wedding dresses, they should have the following characteristics:

• ease;
• airiness;
• romance;
• and perhaps even touching.

If you decide to create a masterpiece yourself, then follow some rules, and you will surely succeed.

Do not stop at the white color, considering it the only one that fits with a wedding dress. After all, there are a large number of shades that do not contradict traditions and are suitable for knitted patterns.

There is no single rule for choosing the style of a wedding dress in knitted design. There are many options, ranging from different lengths and ending with a combined or single structure. Trust your inner voice, count on your strengths, abilities and features of the figure.

If you decide on such a brave step as creating a knitted dress, then do not miss the opportunity to make it openwork. The loin pattern, which is quite simple to execute, is not as beautiful as the more complex Irish and Brugge patterns. In this case, the image will surely turn out to be gentle and touching, not already preparing for exclusivity.

The main element in your future dress will be yarn, so you should seriously think about its choice and carefully analyze all the existing options.

Light materials are suitable for working with a hook, but keep in mind that each has its own characteristics. For example, natural silk will make the finished product light and almost weightless. Viscose with the addition of other materials to the composition and cotton can add shine and tenderness. You can take pure viscose, but working with it is very difficult.

The work of modern masters is amazing. Below are dresses created by Anna Radaeva.

The first photographs of brides in knitted dresses that we can contemplate came to us from 1930. Later models, such as the outfit created by Yves Saint Laurent, date back to 1965. By the way, this model embodies a very unusual approach to creating knitted dresses for brides.

All the same legendary fashion designer created another unusual model - a knitted cocoon dress now serves as a museum exhibit in San Francisco. It was so unusual that its appearance made all the fashionistas of that time pay attention to this fashionable trend, which was slightly forgotten.

Needless to say about the level of proficiency in knitting art, which the craftsmen of that time possessed. So the designer also managed with the help of an ordinary dress to convey the meaning that marriage had for a woman.

Since we have glanced at the story, let's pay attention to doll wedding dresses, which also made a little, but still a sensation. The most iconic of all dolls - the Barbie doll has recently celebrated a solid anniversary - 50 years.

On this day, a grand exhibition was organized, to which everyone could send their models of dresses. Among the presented copies there were many wedding dresses, such as this handmade knitted model.

Looking through fashion magazines, they are primarily interested in the presented knitting techniques. The most interesting of them have a rich history. For example, Bruges lace originated in the 16th century, and is based on the creation of lace braid, which is then combined into a ring or elegant delicate patterns are made. This dress is created for a very long time, and therefore it costs accordingly.

The 16th century gave us another technique for knitting wedding dresses - Irish lace. This is not to say that this technique is lighter or takes less time, but in its splendor it is not inferior to the Bruges lace.

The technique is distinguished by typesetting elements in the form of flowers, petals, butterflies or geometric shapes that are interconnected by means of air loops, nets or complex motifs are sewn onto the tulle, and if it fits tightly together, then simply sew with a needle.

And finally, the third technique, which is based on the use of a twisted cord, is Romanian lace. The cord is laid out according to the drawing made and fixed with needles. The middle in the pattern is filled with elements using a needle.

If wedding models with lace have not left the catwalks for a long time and are familiar to everyone, then crocheted crochets are always enthusiastic. Such models can be counted on the fingers. Here are some examples.

Of course, knitting patterns can not be found, but experienced craftswomen manage to pick up similar patterns and create almost identical wedding dresses. Some go further and transform ordinary lace dresses into crocheted.

Such an example is a real openwork masterpiece from Liz Martinez. Fully lace, with a chic train and a deep narrow neckline - it may seem complicated, but if you just get down to business, amazing lace will be created under your dexterous hands. This dress is created using a fitted pattern and Irish lace.

Do not think that creating a wedding dress with a hook and a couple of skeins of thread is the lot of real craftswomen who have a lot of free time. You need to have only desire, big, no, even huge desire and everything will work out.

How did this happen with Korean Chi Krneta, who knitted her future wedding dress on the way to work. So, paying about an hour a day, an ordinary girl managed to create an amazingly beautiful dress that exists in a single copy.
