Making a one-hour dress but it took me a week | Refashioning a failed Regency-era gown

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. *** REFERENCES *** My previous Regency-refashion video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWWEZ-32Ras One-Hour Dress Book: https://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/html/warm/H-SW007.htm Collar: https://www.etsy.com/listing/886449396/white-collar-rbg-lace-pair-venise-lace *** MUSIC *** Courtesy of EpidemicSound.com *** CONNECT *** Follow me on Instagram @dixiediy: http://instagram.com/dixiediy I blog at http://dixiediy.com If you'd like to support the channel, I have a Ko-Fi account: https://ko-fi.com/dixiediy I may not always have time to respond to all comments but know that I do read and appreciate them!
