I dont typically gravitate toward double crochet stitches, but when I came across this stitch pattern in one of my favourite crochet books, the dress practically flew off my hook

It features a structured bodice with delicate beaded straps for an elegant touch

Before you get started, here are a few things to remember when working with tulle: -Tulle does not fray and does not need to be hemmed -Use clips instead of pins -Use a needle designed for lightweight fabrics when gathering tulle (size 80/11 used in this tutorial) -Use pattern weights to keep tulle from shifting while cutting -Tulle varies in type, quality, and price- avoid inexpensive polyester tulle made specifically for crafting purposes -Use a slightly different color thread in the bobbin when sewing gathering stitches on the tulle to ensure the correct gathering thread (bobbin) is being pulled to gather Simple Tulle Overlay A simple tulle overlay consists of 1-3 layers of tulle on top of a skirt lining
