Taylor Twist (Swift) Dress
About
The Taylor Twist Dress is inspired by Taylor Swift her crochet dress, which was clearly inspired by the 70s. I decided to give my own spin (or shall I say twist?) to the dress with a flared body, shoulder shaping and with key-hole back for easy wear.
The Taylor Twist Dress is worked flat in pieces. First we work the front sideways and then the back piece. Next we make two mirrored sleeves. All the pieces are seamed together after which we crochet a scalloped edge around the sleeve cuffs. Lasly we finish the neckline with either a knitted I-cord or crochet.
