Elegant ladies as doilies: many original and romantic ideas to crochet
Crochet doilies certainly have a charm of yesteryear, and are often that vintage touch that reminds us of the houses of many years ago - and perhaps the projects that our grandmothers made. But the technique is more popular now than ever before and is constantly updated with very original ideas - ideas which marry modern tastes with the classics of the past.
Here we see not only doilies made of intricately worked circles and ovals, but also those with shapes of the most disparate types, and perhaps even brightly colored one. These examples all show the silhouette of a Victorian-era lady (or ladies) with her crinoline wraps that inflates her skirt and becomes a classic shape to be reproduced in crochet for some truly romantic and delightfully vintage doilies.
A beautiful blonde lady, with a wide skirt and roses in her hand, who shyly hides her face behind a fan: a few details that make this centerpiece a truly adorable miniature painting. The roses then return to the surrounding frame ... It seems like looking at a picture of her with her frame, all crocheted.

This doily with the lady who is collecting flowers with a large hat to protect her from the sun's rays: a single object is capable of evoking a whole scene and an aesthetic of yesteryear.
Even without coloring the various parts with threads of different shades, these silhouettes are able to perfectly express the image of elegant ladies with graceful movements. And the color of the yarn can be changed at will, although neutral or pastel colors are certainly preferable.

However, if you still want a circular doily, even with the ladies in dresses, you will be able to create it: just join several figures in a circle, as if they were holding hands in a dance or a game. Very nice the idea of this tutorial to personalize them with different colors, but all with the same hat and umbrella hanging from the arm. The white border that unites all the work in a subtle frame are none other than the edges of the petticoats revealed by the skirts!
All these ideas are nice to use as doilies, but they would also be perfect for decorating: you could sew them on a canvas and frame them, enrich a canvas bag or maybe even customize a T-shirt
Sophisticated Victorian ladies.
