Notes

For the top of the dress, I’ve used a lovely sparkly unbranded sport / bulky yarn - not sure what yarn it is, as it was all part of the stash gifted to me a few days back. Had and used all of the 90 gms. This yarn could take a 4.5 mm needle, but the gauge was not working - so went down to a 4.25 mm crochet needle.

For the bottom of the dress, it looks like this is a sport yarn too - just slightly thicker than 4 ply (fingering) yarn. Had about 90 gms of this yarn, and used a 4 mm crochet needle.

the 5th photograph shows the border detail (which is also a pattern repeat)

For the bolero, I used some of the DK ply yarn that matched. The original pattern has a full sleeve, but I have made this like a large puffed sleeve, using just over half the sleeve pattern. Pattern originally uses cotton, so my yarn has made the sleeve larger than proportion, so have weaved in a satin ribbon at the base and made the sleeve a cute puffed one.

Pattern is fully charted.
