# Sage Green Boho Tiered Lace Dress Free Crochet Pattern
Tiered skirts are having a moment, and honestly? I get it. There is something so joyful about all that swishy, flowy fabric. This boho dress takes the tiered trend and gives it the crochet treatment — three lacy tiers in soft sage green that flutter when you walk. I feel like I should be at a music festival every time I put it on!
Each tier is worked separately and joined as you go, which means no marathon rounds and a perfect chance to try it on between tiers. The bodice is simple and fitted so all the drama happens in the skirt, right where it should be.

- DK weight (#3) yarn in sage green: approx. 1,400 yds
- Size G-6 (4 mm) crochet hook
- Stitch markers
- Tapestry needle
Finished size:
- Women’s size M — bust 36 inches, waist 30 inches, total length 42 inches
- Each tier adds about 10 inches of swishy length

The bodice should measure about 11 inches. The top edge is the neckline — finish it later with a round of sc.

Join yarn at the bottom of the bodice.
Rnd 1 (increase): Ch 3 (counts as dc), \*dc in next st, 2 dc in next st; repeat from \* around, join. (144 dc)

Rnd 11: Work the same 3-dc fan round as Tier 1.
Tier 3

Final edging: \*5 dc in next ch-1 space, sl st in next ch-1 space; repeat from \* around, join. Fasten off.
Finishing
Work 2 rounds of sc around the neckline. Make two straps: chain 70, sc back, and sew to the front and back neckline. Weave in all ends. A light steam blocking makes the tiers fall beautifully.
Sophie’s Tips
- Each tier doubles the stitch count, so place a marker every 20 stitches on increase rounds to keep track.
- If a tier feels too full, skip the increase round and work the mesh directly — the dress still looks amazing.
- Wear a simple slip underneath; the mesh tiers are sheer and the effect with a nude slip is gorgeous.
Twirl, swish, repeat — this dress was made for joyful days!
