I've been in seriously low depression these past three weeks; it took me forever to get to the sewing machine. With depression I had zero and I mean NO energy at all. A fog of a wet, damp cloud fell inside my head, weighing down my thoughts and exhausting me. After a batch of chocolate chip cookies and a homemade pizza, life is looking a little better!
Walmart sells cut-rate cheap fabrics, some of which I used for the flapper dress. To start, I folded the cloth and used a tank top half for a pattern at the fold. It was so easy: What a discovery!

| I used chalk to trace the tank top shape on the fabric fold, then cut. Iced Coffee fueled the project! |

| You can see the neck and the arms as a one-piece. |
 |
| Inserts were added to shape the sides. |
 |
| A good 11" inches or so from the bottom needed to go to achieve my favorite "midi" length. |
 |
| See the shape of the hemline - it worked! Woot! |
 |
| Finally - I can smile in the sunlight again! |
very interesting redesign!
