I made this dress about 20 years ago and did not write a pattern for it. I decided to try to recreate how I made it for my upcoming 80th birthday. I hope you enjoy it.

Materials used:
Size 10 Aunt Lydia’s crochet cotton Yellow. The multi pastel thread I used has been discontinued, so I would use Aunt Lydia’s size 10 white.
Size 7 (1.65mm) steel crochet hook.
Multi colored seed pearls in two sizes. Small and large.

Stitches used in US terms.
sc……..single crochet
dc……..double crochet
Shell…. 3 dc in same stitch

The pattern includes both US and UK terms.
