Crochet Wedding Dress
Browsing through the archives of Craft Magazine for some crochet ideas, I came across this lovely Crochet Wedding Dress:
100 Layer Cake featured the wedding of Jillian and Dax who eloped to Kernville, California. The dress, shoes and bouquet were made/ customized by the beautiful bride.

Just fell in love with the color choices of Jillian especially when the chartreuse green reminds me of my Mom's bridal motiff. Would be great if I made my own wedding dress too...next project!Jillian made her own dress, including the pattern for it. She deconstructed a vintage dress to create a pattern for the bodice (the green part); sewed that, and then crocheted doilies madly for three weeks straight. She used over two miles of crochet yarn. Apparently they were still working on the dress the morning of the wedding (!) and Jillian had to be sewn into it, Project Runway style.She found her heels at David’s Bridal and had them dyed, then used a pair of vintage earrings that belonged to a friend (via the friend’s grandmother) as shoe clips. Such a clever way to sass up your outfit and make it your own!
