Crocheting and crochet Wedding Dresses

Crocheting is one of the oldest forms of needlework. It is still very popular among women nowadays. Many things are done this way, including wedding gowns. The hand-made crochet wedding gowns are so unique and original that they are preferred by many brides-to-be.

Pre-Order Dresses Well In Advance Of Wedding

To have a crochet wedding dress, you have to understand that the wedding dress must be ordered well in advance of the wedding because adequate time must be given to ensure the hand-made dress be finished before your big day. It is this handcrafted aspect of this wedding dress that adds much value to it as a family heirloom. Many crochet wedding dresses are passed through the family and are prized possessions.

Accessories

As it is a crochet wedding dress, it’s better accessorize it with a crocheted headpiece or veil. And remember the lightweight thread should be used to avoid a veil that is too heavy. Organza or tulles with crocheted edges also look nice for veils. You can accessorize your crochet wedding gown in the style that were originally worn with the antique Irish crochet wedding dress or you can accessorize your dress with whatever suits your personal style and the design of your dress.

If you do not plan to wear a veil, why not wear roses or other flowers in your hair. Instead of natural flowers, you could wear crocheted flowers in your hair to match your wedding dress.

Dress Styles

Your crochet wedding dress can be in any style that you want. But if you want to have a style with a full skirt, your skirting will have to be stiff enough to hold the crochet fabric out. Wedding crochet dresses were at the top of the list when Irish crocheting skills were in great demand during the late 1800s. A few specimens of the antique Irish crocheted wedding dresses that were made during that time still exist and can be viewed in some museums.

Your choice of a crochet wedding dress is a choice of great traditions and new styling. The great thing about crocheted dresses is that you can create a dress that will fit you perfectly and can be customized down to the tiniest detail.
