Thanks, ladies!

Here is a dress I made from a 1936 pattern I got on ebay! I used Aunt Grace's Garden Party Cotton in Cherries and Stripes and grosgrain ribbon for the belt and sleeves binding. The buttons are vintage!

Looks fantastic! I love your colour choice. Screams summer by the sea to me

Thanks so very much! I had to look around for a bit to find just the right pattern, but I did find it! It is such a great casual pattern! I will have my hubby take a pic when I am wearing it and post it sometime!

I used the One Hour Dress instructions to make a silk flapper dress for one of my dolls, Maisie, who is 42 cm tall for a Pick a Decade sewing challenge on Den of Angels (a bjd forum). Ironically, it took about an hour to make the dress because I had to re-arrange some of the assembly instructions and make a couple guesses about fitting, due to the scale I was working on. The booklet is easy enough to follow that I think anyone with basic sewing skills could make a human sized flapper dress easily enough. I also made the not-a-cloche hat from handmade wool felt I made a while back. I strung her pearl necklace on buttonhole thread.

Thank you so much!
And thank you for the compliment on the mirror! I had always wanted a very ornate floor mirror, and treated myself when we moved down to LA

Thanks so much!

I have worn it a couple of times and it is so comfy!

I am working on a 1930 dress from EvaDress patterns at the moment. The one above gave me more confidence in top stitching
