🐉 PATTERN CONSTRUCTION

The garment is created in seven main sections:

1. Deep Hood

Worked from the crown downward and shaped to create a dramatic face opening.

2. Mesh Bodice

An open crochet structure creates a flexible fantasy-armor appearance.

3. Wing Sleeves

Sleeves expand outward into pointed, dragon-wing-inspired shapes.

4. Waist Cinch

A drawstring section creates adjustable shaping around the waist.

5. Dragon Scale Skirt

Layered crocodile-style scales form the signature flowing lower section.

6. Decorative Edging

Picot or shell-style details add sharper fantasy definition.

7. Assembly and Blocking

The finished sections are joined and carefully blocked for improved drape and shape.

✨ SPECIAL DESIGN FEATURES
Dramatic Deep Hood

Wing-Inspired Sleeves

Layered Scale Texture

The long skirt uses overlapping crocodile-style crochet scales.

Adjustable Waist

A drawstring section helps shape the otherwise flowing garment.
