There are many knitting techniques wedding dresses.
One of the most famous is Bruges lace, named after its first mention in the 16th century. The lace elements were knitted by hand and then sewn onto a tulle base. This method allowed the dress to look light and romantic, but it took a lot of time to complete the product, so this sample was considered the most expensive.
Irish lace, which appeared in the 16th century, was especially famous in the design of wedding dresses at the beginning of the 20th century. Lace is also difficult to make, but the result simply surprises with its grace and beauty.

Wedding dresses can be completely knitted, but they can also be combined. Combination options may vary. The most common is a skirt connected by a corset of lace. An option is also used when the bodice in front is made of fabric, and the back is completely decorated with lace.
Having decided on the choice of technique and type of dress, it is worth deciding on the choice of yarn for knitting. Today, stores have a huge assortment of yarn varieties - linen, cotton, silk and many others. The type of dress depends on the choice of yarn. Therefore, it is better to use cotton yarn with viscose, this will make the product airy, with a slight shine.

When choosing a wedding dress, every bride wants to have not just a beautiful outfit, but also an exclusive one. If your income is not at a high level, then purchasing such a dress is very difficult. Fortunately, you can go the other way - knit yourself a wedding dress. Yes, in just such a simple, but rather complex way, you can get a truly unique and one-of-a-kind wedding dress.
Where did fashion come from?
Brides who lived several centuries ago created their own wedding dresses if they did not have the opportunity to entrust this task to a professional.
Previously, there were no wedding salons, and information about wedding dresses was not as accessible, extensive and varied as it is now. And the brides got out as best they could. And it was difficult to get high-quality material, so we used what was at hand: various variations of silk fabric, brocade and organza. But there were also brides who took a conscious risk and based their future dress on lace patterns created using a crochet hook.
Nowadays, a knitted wedding dress is a rarity that you cannot simply choose in a wedding salon. The knitting process itself is a whole ritual, although complex, but interesting and exciting.
If you do not want to knit a dress yourself, you will have to make an effort to find knitted dress, but the result will be worth it.
Nothing prevents a modern bride from taking advantage of the experience of her predecessors and choosing a knitted dress for herself. This will require the determination to deviate from the standards and appear before the guests in an unusual, but very beautiful outfit, which is somewhat reminiscent of retro style. Fashion designer Paul Gaultier undertook to restore this trend in wedding fashion.
Since the dresses are created on the basis of lace, light and most often loose knitting, their design includes covers made of opaque fabric. It should be light and natural so that the dress is not heavy, thick and uncomfortable.
This option for creating a knitted dress is the most preferable, since with very tight knitting, which does not require a cover, the outfit will be rough and uncomfortable.
Peculiarities
No matter how varied crocheted wedding dresses are, they must have the following characteristics:
- ease;
- airiness;
- romance;
- and perhaps even touching.
If you decide to create a masterpiece yourself, then follow some rules, and you will definitely succeed.
Don't settle on white as the only color that matches your wedding dress. After all, there are a large number of shades that do not contradict traditions and are suitable for knitted models.
There is no single rule for choosing a knitted wedding dress style. There are a lot of options, ranging from different lengths to a combined or single structure. Trust your inner voice, rely on your strengths, skills and body features.
If you decide to take such a brave step as creating a knitted dress, then do not miss the opportunity to make it openwork. The fillet pattern, which is quite simple to make, is not as beautiful as the more complex Irish and Bruges patterns. In this case, the image will definitely turn out to be tender and touching, without being pretentious about exclusivity.
The main element in your future dress will be yarn, so you should seriously think about its choice and carefully analyze all existing options.
Light materials are suitable for working with crochet, but keep in mind that each has its own characteristics. For example, natural silk will make the finished product light and almost weightless. Viscose with the addition of other materials in the composition and cotton can add shine and tenderness. You can take pure viscose, but it is very difficult to work with.
The most unusual material for crocheting is natural sheep wool. The wedding dress turned out to be original and was created in just 3 days.
The works of modern masters are stunning. Below are dresses created by Anna Radaeva.
Vintage knitted dresses
The first photographs of brides in knitted dresses that we can see came to us from 1930. Later models, such as the outfit created by Yves Saint Laurent, date back to 1965. By the way, this model embodies a very unusual approach to creating knitted dresses for brides.

On this day, a grandiose exhibition was organized, to which everyone could send their dress models. Among the items presented there were many wedding dresses, such as this handmade knitted model.
From fashion magazines
When looking through fashion magazines, you are primarily interested in the knitting techniques presented. The most interesting of them have a rich history. For example, Bruges lace originated in the 16th century, and is based on the creation of lace braid, which is then connected into a ring or made into elegant complex patterns. This dress takes a very long time to create, so it costs accordingly.
The 16th century gave us another technique for knitting wedding dresses - Irish lace. This is not to say that this technique is easier or takes less time, but in its magnificence it is not inferior to Bruges lace.
The technique is distinguished by its inlaid elements in the form of flowers, petals, butterflies or geometric shapes, which will be connected to each other using air loops, mesh or complex motifs are sewn onto the tulle, and if it fits tightly to each other, then they are simply sewn together with a needle.
