- 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?

Iâm working on one right now using 3 weight bamboo & rayon with a 6mm hook. Also an extended double crochet because Iâm so hot natured I wanted it light & lose. Itâs looking pretty good
Good to know!
What was your base chain count and size your making?
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!
Itâs 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.
Iâm with you in the cotton bamboo yarn. Itâs buttery soft.
I hate acrylic!
Yup good idea!
Yes please do a tutorialâ€
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, itâll 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!
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!
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!
It's so clever the way you figured it out. Great job x
Thank you đ„°
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 đ
@@Tashiathome I hope te see the remake đ
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.
I love it! It's definitely a fun dress to wear around town .
I think so too!
I like the 3.5 crochet hook best. Thank you for sharing your favorite too!
Thanks for watching!
Great job! I love that you used cotton and I love the colors choice. Thank you,for sharing!
Thank you! đ
U did Amazing!!!! Taylor would be proud I thinkâ€ïž
Thank you!
The dress turned out so cute.
Thank you!
Yes!! Tutorial please!!!
Ok so this is my first time watching you and omgosh, I loved your pre cro stretch. Iâm gonna add this to my day. Great fun tutorial. Iâm now subscribed. Looking forward to future videos. đ„°đ„°
Yay! Thank you! So glad to have you here đ„°
FABULOUS! i would love to see a tutorial for this dress! :)
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!
Thank you for the video đđđđit is perfect đđđđ
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
The pink u chose is gorgeous!! Iâm 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!!
Thank you so much for your video it's beautiful â€ïžâ€ïž
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 đđđ
Love it!! Looks ao nice on you, Adorable đ
Thank you! đ€
Those stitches definitely look crochet to me for 119.00đą your dress looks amazing!!!! Cotton was a great choice as well. Thanks for sharing â€
Yeah, Iâve seen some other people talking about it and it definitely is crochet which is so sad!
Thank you for giving me my next project đ loved this video
Haha my pleasure!
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.đâ€
I really enjoyed spending time with you.â€
Thats beautiful
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 itâs 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?
I just found your channel! Love your content! đ©·
Yay! Thank you! So glad youâre here đ„°
New subby!!! Really love the dressâ€
Thanks for subbing! Glad to have you đ„°
I've seen a lot of these and I love that you used cotton... everyone else I've seen has used acrylic đ ... great job!!
I canât 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
Tutorial plz I love it â€
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!!
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!
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. đ§¶
Thanks for being here đ„° light weight DK will definitely drape better than most acrylics
hi, looooove it, thank you so much, what arthritis cream do you use, going to see if I can find it in the UKđ€đ€đ€đ€
I use a cream called voltarin. Itâs great stuff
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 â€
Thank you!
Maybe for a new dress consider a cotton/polyester mix?
Great job!âŠ..enjoy
your dress is beautiful
Thank you đ
hi! In my opinion the swoop in the front just comes natural when you do a boat neck. just work it even.
Yeah, thatâs 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.
Welcome
PodrĂas enseñarlo đ gracias â€â€â€
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
I dont know what difference it makes, but the Taylor Swift one is 100% acrylic
I despise acrylic!
Thank you for this, it's a great video and you look amazing in the dress. Are those 100g skeins?
Yes they are!
Good
I could have missed it but what size hook did you use
I used a 4.5 mm
@@Tashiathome thank you
Itâs crocheted
Per skein would be how much yards/grams?
180 yards and 100 grams âșïž
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
My very first job was at the age of 16 in 1992. I was paid minimum wage at $4.25/hr đ so about 32 years ago that would have been accurate.
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. Youâll see that itâs knitted. I know for sure that this dress is crochet
We need to be friends! You crack me up! đ
Heck yes! New friends are always 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
You can just skip one stitch between clusters
When Kevin gripped your arm!?đđ
Hahaha right!? That was my reaction too đ
She is human just like us she saw a dress liked it bought it wore it .
Yes, please do a tutorial! Very cute. â€
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.
I watched this whole thing to see how it went with the bathing suit.. :(
Oh shoot! Iâm sorry! Since the dress ended up so heavy and thick, I would never wear it with the suit- it would be way too hot!
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
â@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 (dĂłlar)
I still say it's machine made on a knitting machine.
Itâs not knit. Itâs crochet. Which canât be done by machine.
Knit canât 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!!! Donât 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 Taylorâs dress was made?
Yes, your time is valuable, but crocheting ainât brain surgery.
It may not be brain surgery but certainly a skill worth more than minimum wage!
