- Consider the Dress Design: The complexity of the dress pattern can influence yarn choice and how you'll manage the pattern repeats. Intricate details, like lace patterns, may benefit from finer yarns, while simpler designs can accommodate slightly heavier yarns.
- Color Selection: To align with traditional wedding aesthetics, opt for yarns available in classic bridal shades like white, ivory, or cream.
- Add a Lining: Because crochet lace can be quite sheer, consider sewing a lining for coverage and comfort. A lightweight fabric can help preserve the delicate look while making the dress more wearable, from the aisle to the reception.
