The dress of 9000 stitches

Actually, it may be closer to 11,000.
It's all those ruffles.
It took 750 yards of thread
and feels like it weighs a pound.

       
     
Flamenco Dress
by Wendy Veatch
Crochet World, June 1996
               
Later, I made a simplified version using the same pattern.
I left off the sleeves because they're so thick.
I also made a simple shawl.
 
             
   
     
   

The original is the prettier version
but it does take a lot of time to make
all those ruffles.

Also, it is open on the side
so you have to make
some sort of underskirt.
