- Join me in this crafty vlog as I attempt to crochet the dress Taylor Swift recently wore on a date with Travis. I honestly did not think it would take this long! Let me know in the comments what you liked about my design and what you would change. Should I make a tutorial in the near future?

I’m working on one right now using 3 weight bamboo & rayon with a 6mm hook. Also an extended double crochet because I’m so hot natured I wanted it light & lose. It’s looking pretty good
Good to know!
What was your base chain count and size your making?
GREAT JOB! I'm an old gal that has been loving this dress and all it's caused in the younger generation... especially inspiring the crochet craft... I am a professional "finisher" of knit and crochet.... ** it's a hit or miss thing with edging"... as well changing hook size to adjust... my favorite is using the "rick rack" or crab stitch as an edging.. just wanted to share... keep up the great work.. Love watching! Hugs, GrammaBabs
Thank you for the tips!
So Tashi, this has inspired me to do my first wearable. I mostly make accessories (hats,bags, blankets etc). But I can totally crochet rectangles! I can do hard things.
Yours came out dope, I like that it falls off the shoulder a little, it’ll give it character as a beach cover up.
Love it!! You can totally do this!
You look so stylish in your dress. I think it's great you figured it out from a photo. You could go from the beach to dinner in it. Again, you did great!
Thank you!
It’s cute! You can go another row of sc around neckline and decrease evenly around every few stitches til you get it smaller like you like it.
I’m with you in the cotton bamboo yarn. It’s buttery soft.
I hate acrylic!
Yup good idea!
The thing that I would have done differently is not rip off another designers design. It is not right that you are profiting from someone else's work.
I love it! It's definitely a fun dress to wear around town .
I think so too!
Ok so this is my first time watching you and omgosh, I loved your pre cro stretch. I’m gonna add this to my day. Great fun tutorial. I’m now subscribed. Looking forward to future videos. 🥰🥰
Yay! Thank you! So glad to have you here 🥰
I think a tutorial would. be well received. You did a great job. I learn something every time I create something too and that is a good thing.
It's so clever the way you figured it out. Great job x
Thank you 🥰
Great job! I love that you used cotton and I love the colors choice. Thank you,for sharing!
Thank you! 😊
Really cute! It's fun to see you try and learn during the process!
For summer yarn you really should try something like a cotton blend with bamboo or silk or something like that.
it's clearly more expensive but! It add a really nice flow to your garment and is super breathable and lighter than just cotton!
I completely agree! I have this great cotton/bamboo yarn from my local yarn shop that would be perfect for it… might have to use it for the remake 😜
@@Tashiathome I hope te see the remake 😍
I like the 3.5 crochet hook best. Thank you for sharing your favorite too!
Thanks for watching!
When I saw taylor swift wearing it I was amazing because shes very rich so if shes wearing a crochet dress its probably sold at at least a couple hundred dollars... im very surprised
Right!? I was too!
it's designed by an Australian company and made in China..they charge $600 AUD for the dress..
U did Amazing!!!! Taylor would be proud I think❤️
Thank you!
Great job!!! I love your colors!
Thank you!
The pink u chose is gorgeous!! I’m not an orange color gal lol . And ur pets are so beautiful!!! The dress came out so nice love it!! U go girl!!!!
Thank you so much!!
HEY!! That’s soooooo cute. Good for you
Thank you! 😊
I like the way you made yours and I am not a Swifty either. I can see it as a nice sweater with a tank underneath and pants. It also appears to be an easy pattern. Yarn tingling that's why I pull from the outside of the yarn it's not so frustrating. I agree with you about the price of the original dress severely undercharged. The tutorial for the sweater dress sounds good to me.
I may have to start pulling from the outside!
Looks great!!
Thank you 🥰
The dress turned out so cute.
Thank you!
FABULOUS! i would love to see a tutorial for this dress! :)
Love it!! Looks ao nice on you, Adorable 💕
Thank you! 🤗
Those stitches definitely look crochet to me for 119.00😢 your dress looks amazing!!!! Cotton was a great choice as well. Thanks for sharing ❤
Yeah, I’ve seen some other people talking about it and it definitely is crochet which is so sad!
for the finish border try the forward crab stitch since it is heavy would make a nice neckline ;)
Thank you for giving me my next project 😂 loved this video
Haha my pleasure!
I just found your channel and now a new subcriber! I love the way you chat... feels like sitting and crocheting with a friend. I'm already missing Jason Kelce under Center.... Go Birds!
Right! I may have cried when he announced his retirement 😭😭😭
@@Tashiathome His retirement speech had me undone!
I ordered cotton yarn DK weight, hope it’s on the thinner side, making it for a friend. Size small. Will update when yarn arrives. You made it very fast, it take me years to complete projects.
I hope it works too! Definitely do the wider stitch that I started with. I wish I would have kept that stitch
I appreciate your channel a lot, and I recently subscribed. Currently, I'm creating a Taylor Swift-inspired dress using 100% acrylic yarn. I'm considering using light weight DK yarn for my next dress. 🧶
Thanks for being here 🥰 light weight DK will definitely drape better than most acrylics
Your dress turned out great
Thank you 🥰
New subby!!! Really love the dress❤
Thanks for subbing! Glad to have you 🥰
4.5mm is my fave size hook as well. I will go out of my way to use it. I thought maybe it was because that was my very first clover amour hook and that’s why I’d use it when I shouldn’t, but now I have all the hooks, I still prefer the 4.5 -It’s weird, right.
So weird! But I’m glad I’m not the only one 😅
Good job! Looks so cute on you. I love your honesty and love that you took us through your process of how to figure out how to make it. I do want to make one and that was so helpful for this and other projects I want to make. Think I will make the black and white version. Suits my aesthetic better. Btw, for hand health I highly recommend Furls hooks. I have problems with my hands and I can crochet all day without pain if I use a Furls hook. Also, oat "milk" is really harmful to your gut. As is almond "milk". If you are lactose intolerant use coconut milk or Lactaid instead. Your future gut will thank me.😁❤
I really enjoyed spending time with you.❤
Yes please do a tutorial❤
Thank you for this, it's a great video and you look amazing in the dress. Are those 100g skeins?
Yes they are!
Hi 👋🏼 NEW HERE 😂❤. I love crochet and eagles 🦅! How fun 🤩 seeing more creations of this Taylor Swift Dress! Love it.
Yay! Go birds!!
Thank you for the video 👏👏👏👏it is perfect 👏👏👏👏
Very cute finished product! I agree with your final thoughts about yarn weight and space between stitches. Also, going up a hook size would help. Another suggestion- decrease the final round of sc in the collar to round it out and pull it in a bit. Also, NEVER tie knots! Especially when you are creating a garment and spending as much time as you did, take the time to join properly to honor the time you have spent even if its "just for you" You deserve it!
Great advice- thank you!
Yes!! Tutorial please!!!
I actually think have the four panels is good cause it will keep the seems as a structure for the cotton. If that makes sense
Thank you so much for your video it's beautiful ❤️❤️
I've seen a lot of these and I love that you used cotton... everyone else I've seen has used acrylic 😅... great job!!
I can’t imagine ever wearing it using acrylic. I am excited to make it with lighter weight cotton too!
The one Taylor Swift wore is 100% acrylic so that's probably why
I have early symptoms of carpal tunnel and I am currently crocheting a blanket for a friend.
I also recently have become allergic to acrylic yarn it’s a contact allergy when it gets on my arms I get bad rashes and I only use acrylic yarn so that fun
Oh noooo!!! That would be devastating, but now you have an excuse to buy quality?
hi, looooove it, thank you so much, what arthritis cream do you use, going to see if I can find it in the UK🤗🤗🤗🤗
I use a cream called voltarin. It’s great stuff
I just found your channel! Love your content! 🩷
Yay! Thank you! So glad you’re here 🥰
Thats beautiful
it's wonderful!!! I'm working on mine also. I love the tips - i agree lighter weight for mine next time. AWESOME TIME SPENT WITH YOU!!
Thank you!!
Size. Hook 3.00 or 3.50 red heart yarn 5.00 h hook , yarn u using be from ilove this yarn cotton be wondering thank u
Maybe for a new dress consider a cotton/polyester mix?
I do knitting and those stitches on the VrgGrl are crochet. You can't do knit like that. I mostly crochet afghans so might make an afghan with the colors and stitch pattern. Might be fun.
I think that is a great idea!
That is cute ❤
Thank you!
I have a 1960's pattern; it's a vintage mini go-go❗
hi! In my opinion the swoop in the front just comes natural when you do a boat neck. just work it even.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking for my next one
What's a boat neck??? I can't find anything on this
@@Tashiathome just straight across. just sew your two shoulders seams.
Per skein would be how much yards/grams?
180 yards and 100 grams ☺️
What is the name of the arthritis cream, I started my project but in pain for the last 2 days
Voltarin
@@Tashiathome thank you, I love your dress I thank you because of the details in your video
I am crocheting Taylor Swift dress, except I am turning it into a cardi, which has taken a little bit of thinking since I am a little fluffy…. a size 2-plus 🥰❤
Love that idea!
@@Tashiathome for my fluffy self I need to crochet on each side in extra 3 to 4 inches width at under arms down. But like you did in your video, it is trial and error step at a time but I have used this technique a couple other times on the side at under arms and it works well for me. ( it’s a butt thing lol.)🥰
I could have missed it but what size hook did you use
I used a 4.5 mm
@@Tashiathome thank you
You did great job, love the colors, better than orange. Neckline needs to be fixed, but overall looks great!
Great job!…..enjoy
i love this colorway. makes me think of ice cream. like neapolitan with taro or ube
Yaaass!! I didn’t even think of that but love it!
Can you knit something that looks like crochet? I think it's crochet and fast fashion
Machines can knit to mimic the look of crochet, but if you look close. You’ll see that it’s knitted. I know for sure that this dress is crochet
Tutorial plz I love it ❤
I love your videos! I sell my crochet items as well and Im very frustrated that big companies that 100% have the money to fully pay crocheters dont and undersell their work.
I totally agree!
your dress is beautiful
Thank you 😊
Welcome
is there a pattern for this? or people just showing them doing it
I think some people have come out with a pattern already. I would check Ravelry
Good
Keep in mind if they’re selling the dress for $120 retail that means they paid around $60. So that’s where you should be calculating a labor wage from. Cuz they’re not selling it for zero profit & when I was in college yrs ago the norm was a double markup price at keast on clothes. Prb worse now.
Yeah, that’s a good point 😢
Podrías enseñarlo 😊 gracias ❤❤❤
We need to be friends! You crack me up! 😂
Heck yes! New friends are always welcome!
I dont know what difference it makes, but the Taylor Swift one is 100% acrylic
I despise acrylic!
It’s crocheted
Thank you very much. You have made a cute and lovely dress. Inspiring and thoughtful ideas well received.
Thank you so much!
i can never price anything either but people dont want to pay for your time they dont care. some people get it but others are like nope
When Kevin gripped your arm!?😭😭
Hahaha right!? That was my reaction too 😭
My very first job was at the age of 16 in 1992. I was paid minimum wage at $4.25/hr 😂 so about 32 years ago that would have been accurate.
Yes, please do a tutorial! Very cute. ❤
is you white dog a labour doodle cos he looks like mine (in my profile pic)
She is actually a goldendoodle, so close! They do look a lot alike.
You can just skip one stitch between clusters
how dare life get in the way of your crocheting..chuckle..
If I was making this dress I would have started from the center and worked my way out either side..that way, if you need to add rows they'll be facing the right way AND the colour additions will be the same..
Türkçe altyazı eklermisiniz lütfen ❤❤❤❤❤⚘⚘⚘⚘🥰🙋♀️🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
She is human just like us she saw a dress liked it bought it wore it .
This is a very old pattern VINTAGE MINI DRESS❗
That’s awesome!
Your girl cat is named Kevin? Like the female bird in UP??
EXACTLY!!! Haha I am so glad you got that. That is exactly what she is named after. We call her Kevi for short
@Tashiathome I often don't get things, so I'm glad I got one for once! Not even the movie reference I would expect to understand either! She's an adorable cat. I'm pretty sure mine would just be on the ground where I don't see them, chewing the yarn into pieces.
Anyway, you *should* do a tutorial on this dress! That'd be really cool. (I've been trying and failing to find a project to make my swiftie niece. I don't even crochet really, i knit, but watching you do it, I'm like 'well if she does all the figuring it out parts, maybe I can figure out just the crochet part' lol
In Portugal is 125,85 (dólar)
I watched this whole thing to see how it went with the bathing suit.. :(
Oh shoot! I’m sorry! Since the dress ended up so heavy and thick, I would never wear it with the suit- it would be way too hot!
I still say it's machine made on a knitting machine.
It’s not knit. It’s crochet. Which can’t be done by machine.
Knit can’t mimic crochet-especially not granny stitches. Some poor little child sat and crocheted that dress in a place that is very impoverished and got paid about a dollar!!! Don’t support buying crochet in big box stores!!
I would not charge less than $250 if I made this, and even then that would be hobby wage. If this was made by hand, these are third world wages, which Americans cannot live off of.
Somebody in poor poorcountry would be glad to get $4.25 an hour. Wonder where Taylor’s dress was made?
Yes, your time is valuable, but crocheting ain’t brain surgery.
It may not be brain surgery but certainly a skill worth more than minimum wage!
