This pattern image is from a handout created by Bridget Bradley-Scaife for her course on making the One-Hour Frock, a simple 1920s dress.
When I wrote the original post about this dress I was sure that I had seen a pattern for that exact dress style and I wanted to direct you to it for your own use. Well, I had to search through my numerous "In The Future" aspirational files to find it. But find it, I did.
Unfortunately, I did not have permission to post this and for that I apologize to Ms. Bradley-Scaife, especially in light of it now being all over Pinterest. She has been extremely nice about this. Unfortunately, I can not retrieve each and every pin from those boards; therefore, she has provided me with another image that includes her copyright and has asked me to post this one instead.*This incident did alert her to the popularity of her pattern so...
She is offering the One-Hour Frock as a PDF pattern in her store on Etsy!!
You may purchase the pattern and its clever instructions here. So, go get it and show your appreciation!
* My first thought was to delete this post entirely, however, I will leave it up here so that if anyone is repinning this she will get credited each and every time.

It is so neat that you had a pattern in your files that could be used to make this beautiful dress. So will you be making it?
Thanks for sharing. I can see why you fell in love with this dress. It is adorable.
This sounds like a fun little project I will have to give a try!
I can't sew at all but I would do anything for this dress!!! Thanks for the pattern
Hi there. I've been scouring the internet for instructions on how to make this dress. I can sew, but I've never used a pattern before. Can you explain how I use the one you posted in a bit more detail? That would be awesome!
Thanks.
Jennifer, because the class is copyrighted I do not feel I can discuss how the dress is constructed but perhaps you can google and contact the instructor and see if she will share the details with you?
I found about 4 yards of 45" wide faux Dupioni silk fabric at Goodwill yesterday. It's a dark gold with a tan-ihh shot. Also found a matching hat and clutch. These will be the perfect Lady Edith dress for the Downton Abbey Tea a friend is hosting in two weeks.
I purchased the pattern... and it is basically that picture. It might be handy for a total novice but 'clever instructions' is a bit of a stretch. it probably saves about 30 minutes in clarifying the obvious, so not a total waste of my $3. :)
