This was the first bridal Barbie Doll Bridal Gown I crocheted. I used an Annie's Attic pattern. The gown turned out so well that I was encouraged to crochet more gowns. I used both Annie's Attic and Paradise Patterns. Most are crocheted with Bedspread weight crochet thread.

I crocheted this gown very recently from an old Annie's Attic pattern. The train has four layers of lacy crocheting which cascades gently.

Here is a precious gown that represents the wedding gown worn by Grace Kelly. The bodice has the faux pearls crocheted right in. The veil has been salvaged from my daughter's wedding gown. I crocheted this gown from a Paradise Pattern

I had lots of fun crocheting this lovely Ascot dress from a Paradise Pattern. You may remember Audrey Hepburn as My Fair Lady wearing a similar gown to the Ascot races when she yelled at a horse, "Move your bloomin' arse!"

Here is an Edwardian Gown from 1908. I crocheted this gown and hat white crochet thread (bedspread weight).

I crocheted this 1908 Edwardian gown from a Paradise pattern using cream-colored crochet thread. The lace for the veil came from Paris. In 1971, I took a trip to Paris and purchased this lace. I used part of it for a blouse and the remnant was stored all these years!


This gown was crocheted from an Annie's Attic pattern, I crocheted two of these and sent one to a childhood friend in Germany whose granddaughter is getting married.
I created the little flower girl's dress without a pattern.

This gown represents Queen Victoria's wedding dress from 1840. I crocheted this gown recently and added the delicate purchased lace.

I crocheted this gown from a Paradise Pattern Book. It represents Princess Di's wedding dress
