#one-hour dress

Dress Journal, Volume 48, 2022

This issue of the journal, which is a publication of the Costume Society of America, has many interesting articles, but I was most excited about the One-Hour Dress. It was invented by Mary Brooks Picken to encourage the sale of fabric and sewing lessons in the 1920s. The idea was that any one could make this simple dress in an hour and demonstrations took place under a big clocek at departments stores across the country This article by Sarah Hegge, Shirley Wajda and Mary Worrall which looks at the predecessors to the dress, its origins, marketing, instruction booklets, and even offers a remarkable surviving example. Although you can make the dress in an hour if you are a good dressmaker, the blue one you see here took a remarkable amount of hand embroidery to complete.

Then, there is yet another feature on sewing: the research report by Sarah Sheehan on Pucci sewing patterns from the 1950s through 1970s. I offer you an image of a dress and coat pattern from 1965 with the kind of hat and gloves then still required for formal public clothing.

The cover has an image of Firefighter Mose from an article on the 19th Century American clothing of white nationalism or white folkwear by Sandra Tome. Then, there are articles on Masonic apron, on visibly queer-fashion and trans-fashion brands, on pointe shoes for ballet, as well as reviews of costume books and exhibitions.

If you were my boyfriend I’d swaddle you in blankets and make out with you btw. I’d give you a winter jacket if you were cold and we were going on a walk.

GUYS. what if fuck buddy sukuna catches you out one night, but instead of being with your friends you're on a date 👀 I think he would play it off, would definitely interrupt and make your date feel like he's about this big 🤏 in comparison. but his jealousy doesn't even show in that moment, it's only when you come over to his place next time around does he mention with the slightest pout: "why don't you ever get dolled up to see me?"
