I finally seem to have gotten my mojo back :) or just decided not to clean and just do my thing!!! I finished this tutu dress for my niece who will turn 3 years old next week. Her party is Ben & holly themed (a British cartoon) so i embroidered princesses holly on the front of the dress- since i couldn't do the design on the Crochet stretch material decided to do it as a stand alone, but had some problems... next time round i will do an oval patch for under the design.. i think it will come out better.

So very cute...she will love it!

I love what you have done! Great job and I know the little cutie will adore it/Lillian

How sweet is this!!! She will love it!

Every three year old girl's dream come true. Kudos!

Awww so cute. Love the sparkly tulle. My dd loves ben and holly too. We get it here in Australia.

really cute what a great gift and the memories it will create for her and her special day.

Oh, this is so sweet. Don't know your cartoon but she is going to be in love with this outfit.

So very cute you did well hugs

Must be a spring bug going around. I was also CLEANING. But seems all I accomplished was just moving stuff around! Found over 14 zippers(?).I quit!How pretty your project turned out! Stella

Great job, I love the top it looks fab! Our grand-daughters Ophelie and Delphi watched Ben and Holly too.

How many layers of Tulle did you use on the skirt? Love Chris

Sorry for taking long in replying... i only filled every hole in the crochet top once at the bottom and than added the really thin tulle with glitters every other two holes on top of the filled row... having said that the tulle that i used is much more dense that the ones that can be found in the US and/or aliexpress (China), infact i can only find tulle by the meter here which is about 40 inches wide...

I think it came out marvelous! I wanted to do a short tutu for my grand daughter for Christmas, she loves ballerinas. Didn't get it done but her birthday is in July .... You never know, after seeing yours I might get it done yet. Don't know this cartoon but our 3 year old likes Peppa Pig. Great work!

thank you so much :) Honestly the most laborious part of the dress was the embroidery! i believe i managed to cute the tulle and attach it to the crochet top in less than 2 hours... and this includes cutting tulle in strips since i can only find wide tulle on a bolt here in Malta. So go for it!
