Ladies Crocheted Dress in White with Scalloped Collar, Ruffles, Fabric Rose & Faux Pearls… Finished!

I’m so happy with the way this crocheted dress turned out. It was originally a top, but I thought to myself, how good would that look if it was a dress… So I decided to take it off of the mannequin and keep going. It’s perfect for the beach and boardwalk with sandals, or dressed up with heels and pearls. It has a scalloped collar, ruffles, handcrafted fabric and crocheted roses, with faux pearls and crystals. It’s absolutely lovely. Click any of the images below to go directly to its purchase page. See you again soon!

lulu Couture is now My lulu Couture due to web hosting issues...

So, at the present moment, I am rebuilding my Boutique over at a new web host - I am beyond disgusted with the issues I am having and the so-called customer service with my current web host. I have new designs I'd like to showcase and a number of dresses in the works, but I have to stop everything to go through the very exhausting task of duplicating my current website. In the meantime, have a look at this gorgeous Shabby Tattered Skirt I just finished the other day. It's unusual and unique, unlike any design you'll find in a department store. You can view the details by clicking either of the photos...
