Attach YarnArt Jeans 01-white to the back loop in the 8th row and crochet a row of sc. Then crochet 3 rows according to the pattern:

Next row: (3 v.p, skip 2 stitches, sc) x until the end of the row. Now crochet under the arches of the previous row: (6 dc under the first arch, 1 sc under the next arch) x until the end of the row. Attach the arms with a thread connection.

Now crochet in the front loop of the same row, that is, turn and crochet in the other direction in a spiral in the front loops: slip stitch, 35 v.p and from the second stitch from the hook 34 dc, slip stitch in the next. Continue crocheting until the end of the row, making rows every other stitch, that is, in one stitch crochet a row, in the next just join with a slip stitch and again a slip stitch, not only without a row (that is, skip 1 stitch). The rows should be in a checkerboard pattern with the previous rows. When only the last round from the head remains, crochet the rows more frequently, that is, in every stitch.

Now attach the veil to the head. The last rows at the crown are not sewn.

Close all stitches, take a hook, crochet: (3 v.p, skip 1 stitch, slip stitch) x until the end of the row. Secure the threads, cut them, sew on 2 buttons. Now we decorate the dress. There are many Slavic protective patterns, they have different meanings. As I am a small expert in embroidery, I took the simplest one (the second in the picture). Embroider with any white yarn. Take the thread longer to reach the end of the hem. When embroidering, focus on the braids, I crocheted the braids every 3 braids. Now embroider in the middle of the braid.

On the arms, you can embroider with lace along the sleeve. We crochet the belt in two threads (red + white) v.p, about 30 cm, threading through the holes of row 7. Leave about 1.5 cm at the ends for tying knots, unravel the threads with a needle, resulting in tassels.

Shoes (2 parts)

1. Chain 7 v.p, starting from the second stitch from the hook, 4 sc, 4 sc in the last stitch, on the other side of the chain 4 sc, pr (16)
Then continue crocheting in the round.
2. 2 inc, 4 sc, 4 inc, 4 sc, 2 inc (24)
3. (1 sc, inc) x 2, 4 sc, (1 sc, inc) x 4, 4 sc, (1 sc, inc) x 2 (32)

Take red yarn
4. 32 sc in the back loop (32)
5-7. 32 sc (32)
8. 4 sc, 12 dec, 4 sc (20)

Secure the threads, cut them.  

Attach white yarn to the shoes in the middle, leave about 25 cm at the ends (this will be the ties), crochet the upper edge with a slip stitch. When reaching the beginning, cut the thread longer (this will be the tie), bring the thread to the front side and crochet a chain of v.p. Then bring the previously left thread to the front side and also crochet a chain of v.p. At the ends thread beads.

Crochet the second shoe similarly. The shoes are ready.

Headband
We crochet a headband. I crocheted a mesh. At the beginning of crocheting leave a thread about 25 cm, at the end of crocheting also leave a thread, cut it. Crochet chains of v.p at the ends, tie knots at the ends. Decorate the headband to your taste.
