What Is A Crochet Wedding Dress?

A word of warning, if you are considering a crochet wedding dress then you will need to order it well in advance. This is because your dress will have to be made and, depending on the intricacy, it will have to be assigned the resource to complete it in good time.

Ordering The Dress Well In Advance Of Wedding.

There is an alternative to pre-ordering a dress and that is to buy a pre-made crochet dress or an antique crochet wedding dress.

As a crochet dress is generally handcrafted they tend to appreciate it value and this is one of the reasons we see these types of dresses passed down the generations as family heirlooms.

Accessories To Accompany Your Dress.

A crocheted headpiece and veil are good ideas to add to your dress in order to accessorize it. Because the veil hangs over your face and you still need to see properly it should be made out of some lightweight material. Organza or tulles also look quite good for veils that have additional crocheting complementing the edges.

The accessories that were worn to complement the original Irish crochet wedding dress can be your base for additional accessories or you could be unique and pick a style all of your own.

If a veil is not something that your are fond of wearing you could choose an alternative such as a crocheted rose or flower for your hair. This then ties back into the theme of your dress and complements it.

Although, crocheted fabrics can be very dainty despite being hand worked, the fabric still has a bit of bulk that must be matched with the accessories you choose to match your wedding dress.

Styles For Crocheted Dresses.

Your crochet wedding dress can be in any style that you want for a wedding dress provided that if you want to have a full skirt, your under skirting will have to be stiff enough to hold the crochet fabric out.  Wedding crochet dresses were at the top of their game when Irish crocheting skills were in demand during the late 1800s.

Your choice of a crochet wedding dress is a choice of great traditions and new styling.  The great thing about crocheted dresses is that you can create a dress that can fit you perfectly and can be customized down to the tiniest detail.
