How long does it take to make a dress by hand?
It depends on the dress. If you buy a pattern it usually tells you how long it takes on the packet, but I would usually times that by 2 or 3 if you're not that used to sewing. It can take anywhere between 1 hour for a simple dress to a week for a full on wedding dress/ball gown with loads of fancy bits. That is using a sawing machine. If you are sewing by hand then it'll take a lot longer.
