'Embellishing the Famous 1920s One Hour Dress - Part 2'

'Time to sew!  Today we will finish the confusing ugly tube of a 1920s day dress and transform it into something that would have been worn during the day time between about 1923 to 1927.   The famous 1920s one hour dress can be sewn in one hour, however the finishing of the dress absolutely takes more than one hour.  I purchased a few pdf files of old 1920s fashion magazines and have determined what I personally liked.  I have finished this dress as if I had actually lived during this time period.  All of my sewing is dedicated to historically accurate clothing that should a time portal accidentally send me back in time, I might actually be able to \"pass\".  1920s sewing is wildly different from every other time period.  It\'s an outgrowth of the 1910s and is the time period that corsets went into the trash bin.  The general fashion lines, emphasis, and lack of patterns makes this a very interesting time period to sew. Everything that is created today to be a 1920s dress, is flapper based AND is modern interpretation.  There is nothing about the 1920s clothing that makes sense to us today with our modern concept of beauty, so this dress is likely to be something that most think of as ugly or unflattering.  I have yet to see an accurate1920s day dress for purchase.  So it\'s time to sew one!  I love house dresses because they were simple, practical, and comfortable.  Sewing a housedress that has a custom fit ensures that I am not miserable while wearing lipstick and cleaning the house.  Why wear lipstick while doing chores?  Because why not?!  I\'ll wear what I like, thank you very much.  Please do the same.  You deserve to wear what you love without question.  Sewing vintage patterns that are true to the era and not a history bounding effort has transformed my closet into something unique and impossible to purchase.I am a hardened, seasoned, pilot\'s wife, SAHM, wanna be writer, and I am a vintage seamstress.  I am not a huge fan of commercial patterns, so I draft my own sewing patterns mainly based upon Haslam designs.  Haslam is a dress cutting system that came out of Great Britain between 1920 and 1960.    Today is Part 2 of sewing  and finishing  the famous 1920s One Hour Dress. It\'s not a flapper dress. It\'s a house dress, and it was a unshapely, uninteresting tube that completely confused me on every level. Research has been done and the dress has been pulled from horrible to something I\'m rather thrilled with.  This was a fantastic sew because I love historical sewing and the fashion perusal and research that comes with it.   I wear what I sew compete with wet set pin curls, aprons, and lipstick.  I primarily sew garments that were worn between 1920 and 1965.  #1920s #1920dress #1920sfashion #1920saccuratefashion #1920srealdress #1920ssewingpattern #1920sflapper #1920saesthetics  ///  Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook  /// https://linktr.ee/TheNoraShow   ///  Binge Me  /// https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLex960Pm4KIjtXvJEH7zEb8XCJmIN2y57  /// FTC Legal Disclaimer /// - As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. - Some links found in the description box of my videos may be affiliate links.
