Attempting To Crochet This 1880s Victorian Doll Dress

[@debmuel]

“Because I want to” is a great reason to start a project.

[@bobbiefelix8392]

She turned out cute! I enjoy when you go a little rogue because you giggle and I can hear that you’re enjoying yourself and feeling a little naughty. It’s infectious and makes me smile. ❤

[@Ladybug83me]

No one in my life is passionate about crochet or Victorian or retro topics so I'm so happy I found this and others here that do!

[@TheGhastlyCrochet]

I love that you show when you’re struggling with a pattern. It really helps people, especially beginners, see that everyone makes mistakes and struggles sometimes 🖤🖤

[@mariankay6482]

You did great and just like no 2 women are the same, no 2 dolls are the same and you "dolled" her up, perfectly! You can make a doll dress using a pattern from your book. You just know how to do it the Corinna way! Don't stop!!! Happy crocheting!!!❤🧶

[@Shelly_Kelly]

I love that you made her a bustle

[@cindyhailey1059]

Her little hat is great! She looks like Clara from Back to the Future 3! Too cute. Great job. Love it.

[@BobCrochets]

This brings back so many memories of my great grandmother making incredible crocheted dresses for my barbies growing up. 🥰

[@Begonia8of9]

Thanks for the tip on blocking acrylic.

[@erikagholston6610]

It works for me. You know how to make things work. I like the finished product. Keep doing & being you.

[@justvintagecrochet]

I appreciate that

[@bonniel3679]

Although I have no desire to make something like this, I applaud your effort and improvisation skills. That little shawl is adorable ❤

[@heidiclarke2333]

Very cute, you can imagine her selling goods from a market stall, the hat and shawl definitely worked. 😊

[@sarahweger6410]

I absolutely adore how this doll came out! I think you did an excellent job.

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@jenniferschrader293]

She came out so nice. Really really good for a first try. Love that you just went with it and made it work.

[@carlyestabrook9004]

Corinna, your videos make me want to try Tunisian crochet again. I love your content.

[@maryb8150]

I’ve found Tunisian gets easier the more you do it. I now always have a project going when I want to crochet but don’t want to concentrate on a pattern. It’s great for purse handles. A lot of Victorian patterns are Tunisian as Queen Victoria loved Tunisian

[@bonniehughes9549]

It is so cute. I am glad you dont give up as it encourages us how to prevail. Thank you Corinna!!!!

[@crystallionaire]

The shawl is what brings this all together! It came out so cute!! Love it

[@SkynetScum]

That turned out so cute! I could not agree more, my crochet is more important than my couch, or any of my furniture.

[@sephreal5302]

The little shawl is adorable ❤ As far as making the fitted outfits Practice makes perfect as they say! I love all your videos. Variety is a good thing for you and the viewers I think 😊

[@justvintagecrochet]

I'm with you, practice makes perfect! 💖

[@sephreal5302]

​@justvintagecrochet watching your videos has taught me so much about crocheting. I had struggled with reading patterns and trying to comprehend what they wanted. Your explanations of reading stitches etc has allowed me to attempt them again with success 😊 even seeing the mistakes you make helps me learn.

[@elizabeththomas8395]

I think it turned out amazing! The hat is perfect for her. I also love the shawl. Fantastic project.❤

[@SilverTearDrop04]

It's absolutely adorable! Remember someone making that then probably wouldn't have followed the pattern exactly either

[@therealnancysteele]

You did such a good job! So cute and glad you went with "inspired by". That shawl was perfect. I'm enjoying seeing you work from that book. As they say...Next!

[@herdogcyn156]

There is something special about you and your channel. Your voice - your giggle - your commentary Keeps me watching to the end. I think I also like your ability to "adapt" to these crazy patterns you try. I love how this little doll turned out and she reminds me of 'My fair Lady'. "Just you wait Enerry Iggens - just you wait". Keep up the good work!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 💕

[@stitchaspellMilan]

Fabulous job! You took a vague pattern and made it your own to great success! Anyone who unsubscribes because you went “off script” doesn’t deserve you! Your enthusiasm and determination are inspiring. Thank you. 🫶🦋

[@torakfett3351]

I’ve had my grandmother’s Tunisian crochet hooks as long as I can remember. Never knew why they were so long. 😂 Glad I finally learned.

[@HelenEdwards-i6s]

Live it and that you do such a great job improvising . I think she looks like a young Irish lady dressed up for a holiday!😊❤

[@garnold1992]

She’s adorable! I’d love to watch you make more inspired doll clothes. Maybe a nice muff and scarf set so she can go skating with a gentleman friend 😂

[@LeeLee86]

I think you did fantastic! This looks amazing, not just for somebody who has never done it before, it looks absolutely amazing! Great job

[@MissMagick87]

I love watching your videos. You seem so calm, even when things aren't working like they should - I wish I could stay so calm when I mess up part of a pattern. I've never had much luck with Tunisian crochet, but your videos are making me want to try again.

[@AmyCeleste]

Wow that’s cool! I’m glad u showed how to get the curl out of Tunisian. I had no idea that was your couch this whole time 😂❤

[@torakfett3351]

@@AmyCeleste i love the look of Tunisian crochet. So neat and clean. I fell in love almost immediately. ♥️🥰

[@ABJILL033]

I was taught that to increase you just make a full stitch between the simple stitches, I’ve never thought to try going into the chain, I might give this a go next time I use it. The doll looks great. Fab use of your couch lol.😂👏👏❤️❤️🇬🇧

[@kitty-ms9jq]

You always make good out what you cant do from patterns , I always love watching you it's fun and always learning from you and others. You do enjoy with fun. I've been watching a long time now and never get bored of watching you and patterns. Much love and hugs back 💜🌷

[@annebigelow4096]

It is so cute! 🥰 I love how it turned out - never be afraid to go off script and make it your own!

[@ketagilliland6931]

Great video on how to start with a pattern and then crocheting to a specific doll’s measurements! Very cool! I have a very hard time deviating from patterns because I don’t know what to do. This inspired me!

[@mikekuppen6256]

That is so cute! I´ve never been a doll person but now I want to go get a doll at the charity shop and make fancy clothes for her.

[@betsyfrancis2998]

The doll is too cute!! Looks great! I struggled with the bamboo yarn today also, ugh!! I enjoy watching your videos!! Sometimes, we just have to improvise!!

[@aprilmack3795]

I think you are doing a fantastic job. Better than I could have shaped it. Again, love it!

[@c.bailey9546]

I love it, the dress looks like the 17 hundred🎉s or 1800 hundreds. Prefect ❤

[@teddy-3765]

A very pretty result So interesting to see your approach to solving the lack of detailed instructions.

[@joanneentwistle7653]

This is such a cute doll outfit! Love the shawl as well, and the cute lil hat!

[@mrsjackrabbit908]

Loved the lobster tail idea! Just a thougth on the fit of the bodice: you increase up to the bust line, and then you decrease to reach the shoulder. But the result was so cute! Great job!

[@rebecasimoes1543]

Girl! That looks amazing! And, please, don't justify yourself for just feel like doing something, I am pretty sure we will watch, follow up and curse with you when you got frustrated. I love that!!

[@gingerfoxx1476]

With certain patterns, I think of them the same way I think about cooking recipes. They're merely guidelines with plenty of opportunities to adjust things to taste or modify based on what you have on hand. You modified and adjusted this pattern to fit the yarn you had to work with and the doll you had on hand. I see no issue at all. We learn by watching trial and error and how others find solutions. I'm glad you chose this on a whim. Crafting should spark inspiration. Well done!

[@justvintagecrochet]

@@gingerfoxx1476 I love that! 😊

[@maizie9454]

glad you did a doll dress. always good to vary-everything! i crochet hats and your hat is so cute!

[@debbienewton909]

Yes! She's adorable!! You did great!! I love the mysteries most, but this was fun!!

[@justvintagecrochet]

I appreciate that, I'm taking a bit of a break from mysteries, I'm getting a bit burnt out , dong the same thing too much, and all that, I needed a little change up, but, mysteries will never go away :)

[@hayleypratt8513]

I loved this.. Dolls clothes and toys are my favourite crochet to make and watch

[@brendacarter1574]

Love it! I have a lot of granddaughters that would love this!

[@thejoylynn]

I have to say I love watching this channel, it calms me...and makes me feel, as a total newbie crocheter, feel like I can do ALL the things... Maybe a little over confident 😅. Thank you for helping me learn SO MUCH in the past 2 months I've been crocheting. I made the 1967 snood with you and love to wear it! I've been emboldened and I bought steel hooks and quite a few size 10 crochet thread colors to try my hand at a doily! I mentioned it to my stepmom, she is who I watched crocheting when I was growing up (I'm 46 now) I'm going back to visit at the end of the month ND she said she is going to look for the patterns her mom (my step grandmother) and grandmother did. I feel so honored out of the 15 grandkids and the only one who was from a previous marriage. I'm so excited!!

[@Ooobydoobydoo]

I love the addition of the white lace under the skirt and around the waist. I think it’s perfect. You did a great job for your first doll dress.

[@penbrown4049]

My thoughts went straight away to Eliza dolittle from the start of , my fair lady ❤ well done ❤

[@tanyasnyder9033]

OMG I love it. I think it came out very cute. Would love to see all the patterns in the book. Thank you

[@Zoe.Warden]

23:03 I love love love love watching you figure stuff out you are so thorough in your mistake-making it is beautiful! And I am not being sarcastic. We get to see every permutation of crochet! I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to watch you fail. But you succeeded so much more often right? There are two channels I always refer people to when I hear they are interested in crochet. One is TL yarn crafts and one is just vintage crochet. Also, did the conversation go something like since you enjoy stacked singles for regular crochet instead of chaining perhaps you would enjoy working into the chain in Tunisian crochet?

[@dmwr]

omgosh you are so talented, I absolutely love her! It is always such a pleasure to watch you work!!

[@lalanasouth4050]

I love her! Lovely dress! I’m so glad you had fun. 😊

[@CorineMedlin-lz2vp]

Awesome Job!! I totally struggle with wearables and it is interesting and educational to watch you work through patterns. Thanks!!☺️

[@g.cosper]

You done good girlfriend! That het is too too cute!

[@anuush93]

I went to the comment section to find the Tunisian increase legend 😂 I love the community you have here!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Legend!

[@anaalvarez-elejalde5273]

Hi! Thank you so much for all the videos you post! I loved this one in particular because you just went with the flow and got so creative. Love the end result, it's like a huge project in miniature. Many blessings to you and your family.

[@dustywagner7671]

Atta girl! Embellish away! I'm fairly new to crocheting again and I love creating one of a kind pcs! So greatful to see a seasoned artist at work! As always! Thank you!

Very Mary Poppins! Love & hugs!

The final doll is super cute and I LOVE that tiny shawl, such a cute little pattern 🙂

[@aliwilson4130]

Oooh! It’s very cute! I’m inspired to try a seventies inspired Barbie!

[@RosieFlaherty]

This is adorable. Kudos to you for finding solutions for the tricky bits. I think the hat finished it off perfectly. Well done.

[@somechick941]

It turned out great, especially with the extras you added on! 👍

[@janmonroe2717]

I think the reason that you are having so much trouble with shaping the bodice you were working with a modern silhouette and a pattern that doesn't exactly believe in boobs. The plastic doll has a much different body shape than the doll in the image. Even if the directions for specific enough, they would still be wrong.

[@AlisonCrook-qg8hc]

Awesome job. I take my hat off to you Corrina.

[@Nillopipcrochetlove]

❤jag tycker att du har, precis som vanligt, gjort det superbra!!! Att ha en "modern" docka och ett antikt mönster och ändå få ihop det så fint! 😊 Älskar din channel och tittar efter nytt inlägg så gott som dagligen ❤ Jag hoppas att du aldrig slutar handarbeta! ❤❤❤❤

[@ddee1263]

Nice job! I love to make things just because, too. I have a closet full of stuff. As always, I enjoyed the video.

[@cheryljoynson7053]

❤ I can imagine her in the streets of London selling flowers . Adorable.

[@MarzNGrama]

You did a fantastic rendition for your doll, Corinna! She looks great! 🎩💖✨

[@chasinseashells8571]

Great job, very cute, Corinna! I definitely think you should keep working out of that book, it's got some cute patterns in it.

[@joannemakesa]

I love this! So cute and great job fitting on the fly.

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

You did a great job and I like your dress and hat much more than the original. :)

The doll I could do without but the outfit is lovely, and the hat! WOW! Good job ❤ from UK 🇬🇧

Oh my goodness, I can just hear her English accent! You did a GREAT job! Love you too!

Hello Corrina, your doll dress came out great. The added embellishments make it look nice good job. ♥️ Looking forward to the next video as always.

Those colors are more victorian looking than the lighter. Good choice. ❤

I adore that wee hat!! Super cute. Enjoy watching your videos very much and look forward to each addition. ❤

[@debbiehannah4817]

Wow, you have nice again nailed it, I love it! Thank you

[@garnold1992]

And I forgot to say that’s the first crochet bustle I’ve ever seen and I think you did great. Look up Prior Attire , she’s a historical seamstress, she has similar bustles

[@Hippiechick11]

I'm impressed. Well done!

[@beverlydevriesburrows3097]

I am so impressed. Great job. Inspiring.

[@matty4042]

Loved it. I think you made it your own. Great Job.

[@robinstolarik3529]

I think you did an awesome job on the outfit. I have a “Woolco” book from 1916 so I understand how hard it is to make heads or tails out of the patterns. Especially with Tunisian crochet. Way to go 👍😃
