This dress started in the same way that many of my sewing projects have started…with a picture. A simple, little picture of a dress. This particular picture was tossed among waves of other dresses, yet it popped right out of the page and straight into my imagination.

You see, I have a hard time with 1920’s dresses. Not because they aren’t cute, or because they aren’t stylish in their own way…but because then have little to no waistline.
