[@Thesiblings-yu6tz]

I've been looking for this tutorial for ages and finally found it, thanks~

[@PhucVanAnh-A]

there is a tip, that if u think double crochet is too see through, u can always try the half double crochet which is a bit tighter

[@kimlombard639]

Oh lovely! This is going to be a learning curve for me...lol, and thank you Olivia for your detailed video tutorial, plus the descriptions typed for us to see, much appreciated!

[@natalieiverson3333]

hi! how many skeins/grams did you used per color? ☺️ thanks for this amazing tutorial btw! 🤎

Thank you so much for this great tutorial! Do you have advice for what to do if the bodice part got too big?

[@alexisbarcena7819]

Love the tutorial!! But I was wondering what the measurements are for top? Thanks :)

[@pascaleth9409]

Hi thanks for this tuto. Do you think you could give the measurements in cm? That would make it so much easier as usually one doesn’t have the same wool or crochet size . Thanks a lot

[@Tumpelstiltskin]

Can’t wait to try this! How many did you chain to fit around the bust part? I’m size small so think it should be the same?!

[@Oliviatully28]

I chained 135 and the measurement around my bust is 91cm.

[@natavia4544]

She’s a L to XL. So do way less since you’re a small. Small is 77cm-83cm.

[@luzvazquez3698]

I finally DID IIITT!! thanls for the tutorial❤💕

[@danielleyonders8849]

When you say use a 3mm hook do you also use a weight 3 light yarn? Can I use a weight 4 yarn and a smaller hook/bigger hook to fit my yarn?

[@paaigeoo]

This is great! But when wearing the top isn’t it see through? Or do you see in some fabric?

[@Oliviatully28]

yeah its see through but I just wear a bra without straps and it works perfectly :)

[@kileighshultz20]

beautiful tutorial!!!! tysm :) if i wanted my sleeves to flare at the ends but get fitted as i go up, how would i go about decreasing? i chained 57 as well for my wrists if that helps. thank you SO much in advance

[@Oliviatully28]

thank you, if you want to decrease I recommend decreasing on the sides so at the end or beginning of each row skip a stitch. there are the ways of decreasing like going into one stitch then into the next stitch and then Finnish the stitch (I don't know how to explain this but it basically eliminates a stitch)

[@alyssafeldman793]

I’ve been waiting for this for so long! Thank you

[@estherschippers]

Wow! Do you have any tips on how to extend it into a dress please?

[@juliaturtles783]

I don’t have any measurements to help you, but the easiest way would be to crochet in round after you’ve done the top adding rows. And increase or decrease stitches as you need to do that the round will fit your body.

[@yvesquack]

If I wanted to make the sleeves flare out, sort of like wide arm sleeves, how would I go about that?

[@Oliviatully28]

where you want your sleeves to start getting bigger start adding stitches to each row. Start gradually adding stitches. you can do this by doing 2 double crochets in a few stitches in each row.

[@emmavanderhoek5839]

I also started this project the other day! I started at the bust part and chained the same amount as you (I have the same bust measurements). I finished the bust and it’s like it shrinked???? It doesn’t come close to fitting around my bust even though I measured the chain correctly !!! Do you have any tips or ideas on how to fit this 😭😭😭

[@Oliviatully28]

I’ve only just seen this, try working in the very first stitch at the beginning of each row. Sorry for the late response Xx

[@jahodyjsoucervene668]

Very late reply but incase anyone else is wondering, the length of the chain will vary depending on how thick the wool is and the size of your hook. Also, if you use a smaller hook the chain will be less stretchy than if you were to use a bigger hook

[@kitty_cat3554]

Does the chain finish with an even number or odd number ?

[@katniss3375]

[@maddy2818]

if i’m doing one colour for the sleeves, can i just crochet the length of both sleeves instead of doing 2 and sewing them together? how many rows would that be?

[@Oliviatully28]

Yes you can do so, it would be the sum of both parts. But you can also just see & measure as you go along. It doesn’t have to be exact

[@emmah4191]

Can I use milk cotton yarn?

[@ann_ilyyy]

[@laylabuckingham9839]

you can totally do a tube

When you start the row do you put the needle through the second or third stitch??? It’s hard to see

[@Mittenzzs]

how come the work is getting wider at the top? it exceeds the initial bust measurement so it wont fit, how did you keep it from getting wider?

hi, how many chains you did at starting?

[@Mittenzzs]

how do you know how many rows to make for the shoulder part if making a different size than you? also did you increase for the shoulder bit?

[@Oliviatully28]

I just tried my tube thin on and just marked off the spaces where I wanted the shoulder panel and then made the amount of rows I needed. if to you are making a smaller size you can do less rows and vice versa. No I didn't increase the shoulder bit Xx

hello, the project is very cute and I tried to perform it following your instructions (obviously with my measurements) but when I then finished and wore it under the armpits and behind the neck was very tight, almost sharp, I did something wrong?

your tension may have been too tight

[@gardenofdelights8434]

Maybe you had to measure the thickest part of your arm and add 1-2 cms to make it more comfortable

If I wanted to do the shoulder/back pieces in normal double crochet without missing one so there's holes, would I keep the same amount of rows or do more?

You’ll just make more rows for the bit that goes around your bust.

[@LiviaMaria-kt6ry]

how did you sew them together? with crochet ou regular sewing?

[@Oliviatully28]

I threaded the crochet yarn through a big sewing needle and sewed it together. You can also crochet it together but its not as seamless

[@scrochet]

When I sewed down the shoulder panels it didn't fit like it was tight and I couldn't get my arms in like it just failed lol how can I fix this

[@Oliviatully28]

You can unsew ( I don’t even know if that’s a word) the shoulder panels and add more rows to make it longer. If you had already sewed the bust piece and shoulder piece together, you would obviously need to unsew that too in order to make more rows on the shoulder panels
