Crochet Tablecloth Dress

I found a tablecloth in an op-shop and because I have a slight obsession with doilies I had to get it. For months it sat hanging over my clothes rack (looking pretty) while I thought about how I want to put it to use. I often picked it up and draped it around myself to see how it sat and to figure out if I could actually bring myself to cut it up. In the end I only cut a small hole for my waist and gathered  parts of the fabric to give it body and make it a little less see through. I made the top of the dress from a stretch linen blend which enabled me to avoid cutting the tablecloth further to put a zip in.
