`Abbey Ramirez-Bodley knew she wanted a vintage-style wedding gown for her Oct. 27 wedding, but she wasn’t able to find one she loved within her budget.
“I looked and looked and looked and the ones I liked were outrageously expensive,” the 22-year-old newlywed from Tulsa, Okla., told ABC News (https://gma.yahoo.com/).
That’s when the creative bride came up with a much more personalized plan -- crocheting her own dress.`
“I came across a girl that had kind of done the same thing and also had crocheted doilies, but I think it was short and didn’t have sleeves,” she recalled. “I showed the picture to my aunt and asked her if it was possible to do something like that. She taught me to crochet when I was four or five. We didn’t have a pattern. It was a lot of guesswork.”
