Making a 1920's Party Dress // Handkerchief Hem and Fitting the Bust

Описание: It's pretty clear when I look at the numbers behind the scenes here that people are interested in seeing some more 1920's projects, so once I spotted this blue lace on MoodFabrics.com and decided to make something 20's for the recent Ravenclaw lookbook, I just had to share the project with all of you! So today I detail exactly how I drafted a new sleeveless pattern, based on the famed 1920's 1 hour dress pattern, and added a fun handkerchief hem.

For skipping past lots of (useful! Well I think so...) prep information and going straight to the pattern drafting, go to minute 15 ish

The sewing of this is quite short, because the sewing of these is very straightforward and fast! (as long as you're not using lace like me...) To skip straight to sewing, skip right up to around the 1 hour mark!

But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!

First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!
