Krtena explained how she did it on reddit. “I crocheted my lace wedding dress on the bus during my work commute for about 5 months. The dress is a pattern I designed with a commonly used pineapple stitch.”
And Krneta proved that beautiful wedding dresses don’t have to cost much money. “The dress was practically free because I didn’t spend much money on it (under $30 for all of the materials including fabric for the lining) and I didn’t spend much extra time on it. My commute time couldn’t be used for anything else anyway.”
While most brides only wear their dresses once, Krneta has plans for hers.
“The dress is also machine washable (I’ve washed it several times), doesn’t wrinkle or need any special care, and I plan on wearing it again with linings of different colors and with the train bustled up in different ways.”
None of her effort would have mattered if it didn’t turn out to be such a stunning dress. I think it’s time I start using my time a little more wisely. Who knows what kind of magic I’ll also be able to create!
