I told my husband that it wouldn't take long for one of my favorite designers to show us how to make Taylor Swift's dress!! Thank you, Donna, soo much for this!
Hi Naztazia, you are really a very good teacher, that's the way to teach, not only showing its nice, teaching us right at the start how n what to do. I do appreciate your kindness n time. That's why you are very successful. I learn many from you. Many thanks from the heart.
Crochet designers need to make videos like these more often and take our power back! Most of these designs are sold in high end stores for thousands and you just know purchased for pennies by artisans in sweat factories in India!
I will never wear most of the things I see, but they are fun to look at. I have to wonder what Swift paid for her dress versus how much it would cost an experienced crocheter to make it. There are so many talented people out there.
She may have actually ordered it from someone on Etsy. During the NFL season last fall she (or someone from her team) ordered a customized hat from a maker on the site.
Foi o único vídeo turorial até agora que usou as cores certas, obrigada por compartilhar! Mando Beijos aqui do Brasil para você amiga, sigo e curto seu canal!
I'd love to see someone make a video showing how to do the increase and decrease for the neckline. This is where I'm stuck. Well I've got the increase figured out. I can't get the decrease though. Any thoughts?
Great video but pleaseeee can you do a complete tutorial of making the dress ? You are so easy to follow. Id really benifit by working the dress with you. So many tutorials out there are confusing. I always come to you. Thanks 👍💜 please think about a tutorial for the dress.
Thanks! From an educational perspective, I can show the stitch pattern, since it was vintage, and because the dress itself is a basic construction, I can talk about the rectangles and how it is made. However, to do a step-by-step tutorial would infringe on the original designers rights (who we don't even know, except that this is a VRG GRL dress). So I've shown about as much as I can in the video while still showing respect to the original artist.
Absolutely, the website where the dress originally comes from, Vrg Grl, is good with their closeup photos of multiple angles of the dress, the shape of the dress, plus the seams and how its constructed.
Donna, Can you please tell me what yarn and color name you used for the orange/coral? I cannot seem to find that shade. All I have found thus far, has been too dark for my liking. Thank you kindly
The orange yarn is Michael’s Loops & Threads Soft Classic in Light Coral. If needed, all of the colors are listed on my Naztazia website for this entry (search for Granny Stripes on there).
@@naztazia Thank you so much, Donna. I have had 2 requests for this dress and even through I'm a seasoned crocheter, I've never crocheted a Granny square much less this.😬😐
Beautiful!! Could you recommend a specific cotton yarn for this dress? There are many types/brands, etc., & sometimes it’s confusing to choose the best. Thank You!!
Much depends upon the type of yarn used. Thinner yarn will require more yardage, while thicker yarn will require less. A sample 4 inch by 4 inch swatch can be created. Determine how much yarn was used for that sample (1/4 of the skein? 1/2?) and then multiply it from there.
still how long do u do the front and back and then the arms? do u roll them around? need the hole thing if u can. all videos i have seen u sit and watch them crochet it. never a proper pattern
Much is based upon your own measurements. The initial chain forms the length of the dress from the neck to your knees. Someone taller will have maybe 125 chains while someone not so tall will have 100 chains. The number of rows form the width of the dress. A size S dress will have less rows than an XL dress. The arms are rectangles that are rolled around. Again, the size will differ depending if you have super long arms like I do or shorter ones. This information is covered in the video starting at 04:55
I used several different brands to try and match the colors. The peach is Michael's Loops & Threads Soft Classic in Light Coral. The brown is Red Heart Super Saver in Cafe Latte. The purple is Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn in 292 Amethyst. The ivory is Hobby Lobby's Crafter's Secret Big Idea in 5 Magnolia Way.
I used a variety of ones that I found in my yarn collection that were close to the original dress colors, including Michael’s Loops & Threads Soft Classic in Light Coral. Red Heart Super Saver in Cafe Latte. Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in 292 Amethyst. Hobby Lobby’s Crafter’s Secret Big Idea in 5 Magnolia Way.
