Lingerie dresses were very popular throughout the Edwardian Era, and for good reason! This light weight lacy dresses were comfortable and cool in the summer heat, and the same is true today. These dresses are perfect for summer and I think I could use a few more in my wardrobe, so come with me while I make some comfy dresses for summer.

Pittsburg Daily Post from 1905:
Shirtwaist Suits for Southern Spring
But in new york french lingerie ceases to be a noun and becomes and adjective, signifying... the quality of being thin, light and fluttering. The lingerie frock is usually white, though it need not be. To blow lightly, trail softly and be somehow frou-frouy are it's essential qualifications

I finished my seams with a serger, but I wish that I had gone with french seams instead because the fabric is so light weight. I think this is going to be the shortest sewing montage ever because this pattern is so simple. Oh yep, and we're done.

because the pattern has very little fitting involved, the seams are minimal and pretty simple. It does have pockets though.

After my first insertion lace project, I'm kind of hooked, so I decided to do some on this dress as well, despite how time consuming it can be. I got curious about how long it actually takes so I decided to time the process.
It took about four minutes to do 65 inches worth of zigzag, and I was surprised to find that cutting the fabric away from the back of the lace took even longer After doubling it to account for the fact that you hhave to do everything twice for each piece of lace, I found that it takes about 11 or 12 minutes per yard!
