WHAT IS IT
A simple pattern on how to crochet this romantic milkmaid dress with elastic thread in the waist inspired by a dress Marilyn Monroe wore. The skirt has some flare and is see-through which makes is comfortable for summer – just wear nude or same colored underwear under.

The pattern is written out very simplisticly and intuitively, this means that you will be more free of the written pattern and focus more on the crocheting part. The pattern is 2 pages in total including information about materials etc.

You also get a video tutorial (link and pattern may not be shared with anyone else), so if you are a beginner this is great as you will get more visuals. Video shows you an intuitive way to do increases, where you use your intuition to know when to increase (so you don’t need stitch markers).

To make the ruffle edge seen on some of the photos make 3 treble crochet in every stitch as well as 3-4 per row in the slit and make another row after with just 1 treble in every stitch.

SIZE
Pattern follows measurements so you can make it in any size and length you’d like. There is also a section on how to make the wide straps if those are more you.

MATERIALS
Elastic thread, 1 mm, link to elastic thread – preferably use it in the same color as your yarn (affiliate)
3 mm hook
Cotton. Size 1/superfine/fingering
50 g = 160 m
Link to yarn (affiliate)
I used 344 g for my size S/M
Skirt length: 62 cm
My height: 168 cm
Add/remove about 25 g/80 m for each size you go up/down.

You can use different hook, yarn and stitches but bare in mind that the smaller the hook/stitches, the more flared the skirt, the larger the hook/stitches the less flared the skirt will be.
