No one can wear green like a redhead - stunning look, Jenniferose7! (Now I'm thinking of that green cotton I've got in my stash... )
Beautiful dress, Kamikat!!
Yesterday I finally finished my first "One Hour Dress" using this book:

It only took me two weeks! lol Has anyone used this method? I made it up in muslin just to try it out. Here is the result.

I think it has potential, although this first attempt probably will be worn at most as a house dress (the white muslin is a little flimsy & see through!) I have a nice print cotton I want to try it in now that I know it will work.

:rofl:CarolineH - I think you're right - great potential on such a classic, easy to wear shape. And after you've make 37 of them, it may actually be the one hour dress! lol
Emy, actually it wasn't too hard. I just followed the basic instructions except for the skirt. I wasn't sure exactly how that was supposed to work so I looked at the variations she suggested at the back and decided on the plaits instead. Then I sewed the skirt sections to the bodice before I did the side seams and just made one long seam from sleeve bottom to skirt bottom on each side.
On a bit of a sewing kick. I made a couple skirts this morning.
