A young girl has gone viral on TikTok for using her crochet skills to create her prom dress. 

Crocheting has become something of a fashionable trend, with many people bringing yarn back into style. 

Sarah, who goes by That Crochet Gurl on TikTok, shared her inspiration behind her Matric Dance dress, which was a Zendaya look that was made with satin.

She is a talented crochet designer and has made other creations before embarking on her prom dress, so there was no lack of experience. 

Sarah did say that her entire prom dress cost $60, which is roughly R1,100. 

It certainly is a stand-out piece.
