Back edging…

 

Work a row of sc along back edges. Work in button loops on the right edge as you go.

 

I used the rather large buttons because they looked like ornaments on the back… ok my bad. J

 

 

Trim rows.

 

 

Att white yarn in the remaining loop from row 13.

Work [ch 4/ sk 1, slst in next] around.

 

Att white yarn in the remaining loop from row 15.

Surface crochet how to:

Att white yarn bet rows 3-4. use a FPsc technique to work a row of [ch 4/ sk 1, sl st in next ] around.

 

Att white yarn bet rows 4-5. use a FPsc technique across the bodice parts and regular crochet over the sleeves to work a row of [ch 5/ , sl st in next ] around.

 

The necklace is the same style I have used in other pics to hide the neck seam – which I don’t much like.

This dress looks better in person. it did not photograph well.

I do not have a problem with people/groups using my patterns to make a little extra money by physically making them and selling the items they make.

 

However, I do not permit the selling of my patterns for money. I have once given permission for a booklet to be made of them for a charitable sale and I may do so again *if I am asked* and if it is for a church, charity or school type group. But first you have to ask.

 

Furthermore, If you choose to use my patterns as a money maker, I do not permit my images to be used for any advertizing of your work. You must make your own item and photograph that. These images are as much a part of my Web image as a designer as the patterns are and I reserve that use to myself alone.
