Description
This Shell Stitch Crochet Bodycon Dress / Top is a made-to-measure design featuring shell stitch bra cups, full back coverage, and sturdy straps for a secure and flattering fit. Start it as a crochet top or continue shaping to transform it into a mini, midi, or maxi bodycon dress — all from the same pattern.
This piece is worked using the shell stitch running vertically down the entire design, creating a timeless textured look with natural shaping. The shell stitch bra cups are carefully constructed to provide enough room and a smooth, feminine fit at the front, while the full back coverage and sturdy, reliable straps offer comfort and support.
This pattern demonstrates how to make the crochet top first, then shows how to continue shaping and extending the design to transform it into a perfectly fitted bodycon dress. The length is fully customizable, allowing you to create a crochet top, mini dress, midi dress, or maxi dress, all using the same construction method.
This is a made-to-measure pattern, making it easy to adjust the fit to your own body measurements for a polished, custom finish.
