Additional Supplies:
Zip for back: This is preference, but it needs to be long enough to reach from back hem to just past your hips. For Small I used 30cm. I could recommend anything between 30-45cm.

Adjustable straps: I recommend adding adjustable straps, especially if you are crocheting the straps as the straps will probably stretch as you wear it due to the weight of the dress.
You will want to buy 2 rings and 2 sliders (the sliders need to be able to fit the strap threaded through twice). Strap Rings & Slider
 
All my patterns use US terminology

 The photos are for size Small & A Cup

This pattern is more moderate / intermediate crocheters.

Construction
The Dress is worked in a few sections:
The under bust band
Working the cups on top of the under bust band
Then working skirt on other side of under bust band
Then work trim around the cups and finish up

There are multiple sections where you can modify the pattern to fit you perfectly.

The pattern has tested in all sizes except 2XLarge
