Glad you able make the dress and shine a light on why crochet is expensive.
-
Nice job showing how much the cost in the U.S. would cost. Obviously the people who crocheted this dress get pennies compared to our pay here, which is precisely why they outsource the labor. We also are usually trading quality for cheap fast fashion. I have a few pieces of clothing that belonged to my Mom when clothing was made well and was quality even for a middle class person. I am in my 60s and was interested in the result of your project. Love the little matching bag that you did.

Thank you neighbor( Tumwater, Wa). Love the dress, thanks for the break down! I make blankets, sweaters, shawls etc and you just helped me learn how much to charge someone for those items. God Bless. šš
-
I strongly agree with you Crafty Girrl. Crochet to me is an artwork not just to make and sell for such a cheap price. Thanks for enlightening those who think crochet artist should sell them items cheap because they compare with machine made stuff
-
Another thing to consider when pricing your knit or crochet items is your skill level. The classes or time you've devoted to perfecting your craft.
-
If the dress is still stiff after steaming it, you can try treating it with vinegar. I do that before I wash and block things I make with acrylic, especially the cheaper stuff. It helps the drape and texture SO much
-
The dress Taylor wore has neck shaping (a rounded neckline). Front is not just a rectangle (though many of the recreations are).
-
It was actually helpful to see both directions for the sleeves. I plan on making one of these, and was thinking if doing the sleeves the way you first had them so I could more easily do decreases to have more tapered sleeves.
-
Great video. Very lovley you mentioned the price tag and it's reality. I'm using cotton and the price is much higher in materials. I just started the dress and have funš
-
It looks great!
-
Hey another Wyoming crochet/crafter! Hi from Riverton! Glad youāre talking about this-itās so important to realize the value of handmade things.
-
Adorable bag!
-
New sub here, from Battle Ground, WA. Anyway, I've made two granny square bedspreads, one queen, one king. They took me months each. When i posted on FB everyone was hitting me up for one. No way! They wouldnt pay $1,500 for one, and honestly, that's about what it would cost them

I lived in Laramie, Wyoming from 2013-2016, and still miss it to this day.

Love the dress and the bag is such a fantastic finishing touch ā¤
-
I love it! You know what I'm going to say about it!!!!!
-
Gorgeous
-
Love the dresses and purse!
-
It is amazing how people think you can whip up a dress for cheap.
-
Working on one now for my granddaughter! Itās really fun watching the color changes, but I suspect Iām not going to enjoy weaving in the ends, lol
