TikToker Goes Viral for Crocheting Her Own Prom Dress

Don’t want to splurge on a prom dress? Crochet one!
18-year-old Sarah Akinbuwa decided to save money by crocheting her own prom dress, complete with a floor-length hem and flowers all over. The video racked up millions of views, with fellow crocheters complimenting both her skills and the final look. She’s been crocheting since she was 12 and says she used to be bullied for having a ‘grandma hobby,’ but now she’s glad she didn’t give it up.

@@PrograError lol that’s why I asked. My mom crochets and made a dress for my daughter awhile back and it was sooo heavy lol. She couldn’t wear it for long. But it was so cute
