Dress with large openwork crochet motif

The main victory of dresses or sundresses crocheted using napkins is not only their external originality. Their “zest” is asymmetry. Thanks to her, in such an outfit any figure will look incredibly interesting and slender.

You probably don’t even have to talk about attractiveness in such a sundress, and everything is clear. But we’ll probably note about the ease of knitting. Every novice needlewoman chooses a napkin as her first product in order to practice and gain an initial skill. But napkins themselves are no longer so interesting; there are few places where they can be placed in a modern interior. But knitting a dress for yourself right away is a success. In such cases they say with a proverb: “God himself commanded.”
