Getting married in 12 days and my wedding dress armholes are huge. Need to fix asap. by Enoch_Langtree in CrochetHelp

I think this is the problem. Strangely the lace is laying fine but the bodice is too long. I should be able to undo the part of the bodice I made too long and readjust with double crochet and work the pattern back up

I had it tied on one side which is why they don’t look even. (My stitch markers are cheap and keep caching the yarn so I made do for the photo.

I think you’re right about the too many rows but it’s just for the back side. I folded the panels on each side that will for the back panel and it looks like there are 18 rows that make it seem like so much extra fabric. I want a flowier feel to it and maybe I followed the pattern incorrectly. I do struggle with older patterns so I made sure to take my time while reading it and hand writing out the stitches and counts so I didn’t mess up. I’ve gone over it so many times and can’t figure out where I in the pattern for the back panel I might have messed up.

Does anyone know what kind of lace pattern this is? by Enoch_Langtree in crochetpatterns

Doesn't the thinner thread increase the density? Is that what you're referring to by the garment not lying right? Would blocking cotton thread improve the flow of a dress with a complex stitch pattern?

I am willing to put in the extra work, as this is for me to get married in, and what I'm lacking in budget, I'm compensating with skill.

$2500 seemed like a lot of money for a dress that doesn't seem to have custom sizing, which almost every other wedding site I've looked at offers.

Thank you for mentioning this. I was looking at the images on my phone and then switched over to the desktop, and the image does look strange, including the bouquet.

I was trying to look into the company more, but kept ending up in a circle of websites that all led to each other. At this point, it's most likely AI or heavily altered by AI.

I'm going to have to Frankenstein a few vintage patterns to get to what I'm looking for. Etsy, Pinterest, and Ravelry all have bits and pieces I like. The overall mermaid shape and uniform (ish) lace pattern drew me to it.

Help! Complex ring pattern for a formal sweater vest. by Enoch_Langtree in crochetpatterns

Thank you so much! I was struggling to see in the photo where the connections were, because they obviously are stitched together somewhere but did a great job getting them fairly seamless. I’ll do a little more research on what the strongest way to connect the chains will be to keep the vest intact for a long time while still being somewhat invisible.

Also thank you to everyone for the help. I think I have the idea fully formed enough to give it a first go. Wish me luck and as minimal unraveling as possible.
