Crochet CheongSam for Labubu 4.0

While every other crafter seemed to be churning out tiny outfits when Labubu first launched, I stayed on the sidelines. That changed when I was gifted my very first Labubu (the 4.0 / Pin For Love version) earlier this month. And with Lunar New Year around the corner, it seemed like the right time to try an outfit.

Labubu CheongSam by Made by PurpJe

Instead of starting from scratch, I looked back at a Cheongsam key cover pattern I had designed previously. On top of the aesthetics, I needed to figure out how to translate it into a 3D garment that was actually wearable and, more importantly, easily removable.

While working on that, I developed "A Guide to Crocheting One-piece Dresses for Figurines" - a construction logic I can come back to whenever I want to design another outfit in the future.
