Arcelle Dress

Arcelle Dress crochet pattern — a modern fitted garment designed with structure, contour, and movement. This advanced-level design is constructed from the waist outward: the skirt is worked downward in a signature zigzag lace stitch, while the bodice is worked upward in structured double crochet for a clean, sculpted fit. A front split and controlled flare add ease of movement while maintaining a streamlined silhouette. The dress is engineered with negative ease, designed to contour the body through tension and shaping rather than excess fabric. Design features: • Fitted, midi to ankle-length silhouette • Signature zigzag lace skirt with geometric open-work detail • Structured double crochet bodice • Scoop neckline with crab stitch edging • Front split for movement and balance • Waist-outward construction for precise fit control • This design is sheer. A bodysuit or slip liner is recommended for wear. Skill level: Advanced This pattern assumes experience with garment construction, working in the round and flat, foundation stitches, and shaping. Sizing: XS–2XL (see size chart in pattern) Designed with negative ease — garment stretches to fit the body. Yarn: Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton (worsted weight) Hook: 4.0 mm Share your version: tag @Debrochet7​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
