The 1-hour 1920s dress at The Closet Historian. Probably the most simple but also helpful of the sites I tried to look at regarding a dress design.
I realised that I'd need an underslip, so I spent time drafting that one (rather roughly) from the Sicily slip dress.
It needed to be made of a more drapey material than I had. This was trouser lining, and a little stiff. Should have saved it for trouser lining.
I made a draft dress...out of poly-cotton. It did not go well.
The actual material I planned for the dress is a lot lighter and more fluid...
And in the end, I just wore a shop-made dress that I've had for some, oh, twenty years and which still fit me, with a draping overlay from another dress that needs some serious work to be wearable... *sigh*
