I'm refashioning my 2nd of three failed Regency gown costumes - this time we're going 20th century. With my limited fabric I needed to make something simple (and shorter than floor-length) so I decided to try out the very popular One-Hour Dress, a tutorial and book published in the 1920s on how to sew fast and easy frocks.
But I couldn't follow the pattern directions exactly because I didn't have enough fabric. I also made some design changes just to make the most of the fabric I had. That made things more complicated and it took way longer than and hour to make. Even so, this was a relatively quick project because I was able to reuse seams and hems from my old dress.
