Midi crochet dress

After beach dress i made before in spring, arrived a time to crochet a new dress for summer evenings. Dress to the knee I made in 2012, so I decided crochet a maxi dress.
Initially, I loved the dress from Anna Kosturova, I even started to crochet it. 

But the after made about 30 cm I realized that I do not like uniformity of the it, because all the dress from top to bottom has one pattern.
After that, I found an amazing dress " Enchanted " from Olia SexyCrochet. Here's a link to the site http://sexycrochet.com/ru/2013/03/28/

The original dress is made from a cotton/silk blend of light beige color. Last year I crocheted a beige dress, so this year I decided to make it a chocolate brown. I made the thread from two silk threads and one viscose. The result was a light, pleasant to touch and cool yarn.
In the process of crocheting the Free People dress with fringe from knee down to one's ankles caught my eye, and I decided to change the original idea of ​​maxi dress.

After finished the dress at the level of knee, I tied a few bundles of fringe. Evaluating the general view in the mirror, I realized that I like it is with th midi length) without fringe) especially because lately I love this length.
In general, it was the longest my project, because I started to the professional course and it was time-consuming. Then I crochet out the first dress, made ​​a mistake in the pattern, recrocheted the neck (as it was too high) - a lot of things ). In total, I was crocheting it about 3 months! But I think the result turned out very beautiful )

The scheme for the dress you find here

 Half-circle motif between circles:

To make the bottom of the dress larger you should increase the hook, this pattern unfortunately can't be modified.
