Crocheting a Wedding Dress: This Bride Shows Us How It’s Done

So, finally—after some technical issues and test threads
—hello everyone!
I found this a few days ago on Brigitte and have had it open in my browser ever since because I really wanted to share it with you all.
I think what this lady did
in the article is absolutely amazing—no one would believe you can get such a pretty wedding dress for 30 euros, one that’s also easy to care for and can be worn again after the wedding.
Okay, not everyone might like the idea of still running around in their wedding dress after the wedding, but this pineapple stitch really looks great. I don’t usually like green that much, but this green sash looks great. If you click on the link in the article, you can find the bridesmaid dresses—they’re green too.
Really absolutely fantastic.
What do you guys think?
Best regards

itching to get married? :-)

Nope :) Just fascinated by the skills of the lady in the article

That looks very elegant

Would any of you consider making your own wedding dress like this?

Not really my thing ;)) I celebrated my 30th wedding anniversary last week.
But the idea is great!!

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary. Thirty years is quite an achievement—not many couples make it that far. I wish you both many more happy years together.
I just looked it up—30 years is the “pearl wedding anniversary.” I hope you received some beautiful pearl jewelry for your anniversary. That’s the tradition, as far as I know. Since Chinese cultured pearls have flooded the market, prices for cultured pearls have plummeted anyway, so you can find really beautiful sets—including necklaces and earrings—both new and used.

Thanks for the congratulations. But there’s one thing I have to say: 30 years have flown by. You only realize that in hindsight. So here’s my tip:
Enjoy every moment, always....

Heartfelt congratulations from me too :)

Hi everyone...
That dress is absolutely amazing!!!
Unfortunately, this idea comes almost a year too late!

Hi puppilieb,
welcome :)
You can always crochet a dress like that for yourself, just for special occasions or something.
Belated congratulations on your wedding—even though I don’t know you :)
