Dropdead Gorgeous Drop Shoulders Crochet Dress

OK guys... here is a dropdead gorgeous dress that I have been losing sleep over in a very, very long time. This will be definitely one of my next projects to make for this summer. I have posted the pics of the technique of how to get the separate rounds of square motif stripes attached together and the principle of how to add the ruffles at the same time courtesy of a very kind lady - Oma, who was so sweet in making the tutorial and sharing it. Still haven't made up my mind entirely as to the color I would like to make it, but I guess just plain white would be still quite awesome (and of course use thicker yarn as is used in the original... I gather ca. 50 gr/120 meters would be the perfect metrage.)

My Brazilian Ruffles Dress Update

Here is an update with where I am right now with my flouncy Brazilian dress. I am advancing slowly with my variety of ruffle layers and am quite happy and excited by how it is all coming out. In fact, I am really glad I decided to improvise and modify it as fancy strikes me as I go adding layer after layer... :)
