Re: The One Hour Dress

Dear Friend,
If you're looking to make a 1920's style dress for a nineteen-twenties themed party, or perhaps a costume for a play or period re-enactment then the "One Hour Dress" is for you.

If you're interested in making a dress for yourself or a child for the first time or you're an aspiring fashion designer then this book is for you too.

The "One Hour Dress" is actually a dressmaking system with infinite variations that can be used to make 1920's or modern dresses, so it has something for everyone. It was designed by a very talented lady, Mary Brooks Picken" of the Woman's Institute of Domestic Arts and Sciences.
Create Beautiful 1920's Style Dresses

When announcement was first made in 1924 that Mary Brooks Picken of the Woman's Institute had developed a new plan by which an attractive dress could be made in one hour, it aroused tremendous interest among women everywhere. Some doubted that such an achievement was possible, until the dress was made in a public demonstration in the Grand Central Palace, New York, in 34 minutes, a fact recorded in the New York newspapers and attested to by the officials of the National Merchandise Fair. At right - Mary Brooks Picken wearing a One Hour Dress, sketched by the Woman's Institute Fashion Artist, Alice Siepp.
