This is a detailed tutorial for crochet lace dress for women named “Dolce”. Bodycone shaping, variable sleeves length, lots of photos and diagrams. I made at least 6 similar dresses, so you can see color options and choose which is the best for you.

The dress is worked in rounds, top to down, with NO SEAMS. No sewing means less time spent after crocheting.
