For that reason 1920s fashions tend to be very comfortable and easy to wear. While actual twenties garments are a rarity and extremely delicate due to age. Reproductions can give you the look and freedom of flapper fashion. About a year and ago I had a flapper dress made by Time Machine Vintage using the McCall 1920s Drop Waist one piece jumper dress pattern.

It must have felt amazingly freeing to go from corsets to the flapper outfits.
ReplyDeleteI love all your vintage photos! It's so fun to take a look back!
ReplyDeleteYou look like the perfect flapper and I LOVE the scarf tied in your hair! It looks very Clara Bow. I've always been a little afraid of 20s fashions on me, but this look makes me want to reconsider wearing them.

The silhouette definitely takes some getting used to as its so straight up and down and can make you look big, but the dresses are so comfortable and once your eye adjusts it looks good

Thanks. I definitely want to try some flapper looks post-baby and while my hair is still short.

Looks very comfortable! And you even have the seamed stockings!

Oh, so luv this kind of stuff, not sure if the dress would swamp my paws a bit.
ReplyDeleteThough I bet it would look great. Luv's Cat Flap Cavalier X
It was quite a shock to society when hems were raised THAT high....
ReplyDeleteSHE remembers a college history lecturer saying that during the mini skirt rage, that that was nothing compared to the flappers.

Such an amazing time of liberation and fun. So much changed after WW1. As always you look stylish and lovely. Have a super Saturday.

I love the way rayon drapes though it is difficult to sew. I prewashed some in my washing machine and bunged up the filter, thought my washer was broken! Your outfit looks great with the hat, scarf and gloves.
