not gonna lie i am all here for fashion encyclopedia for different eras!
resting sad face absolutely! As an friend group's fashion historian, I need more material!!
Definitely not telling you to stop watching Meme Mom - this was great! - but for more fashion history I recommend The Ultimate Fashion History: ruclips.net/user/ProfHallay
@Frida B: I used to watch Ultimate Fashion History until I heard her throwing shade at other unnamed RUclipsrs. She is NOT the be-all of fashion/era resources yet sometimes she comes across like it.
yes please!!
@@New_Wave_Nancy thanks! can't believe i've never heard of her until now
Am I the only one who would love a 5-hour long video about this?
So would I!
Meeeee ♥️
You are not alone. I would totally watch that.
Nope. We're all clothes nerds here😊
Nope. I'd watch ten hours of this
"Otherwise it would be 5 hours long"
Well I don't see a problem here
I cannot express enough how much I hate the cliche 1920’s clothing, your videos make me so happy. I wish the rest of the fashion industry was more informed like your videos.
I agree. Yes, there were beaded gowns in the 1920s, the hems of many trailed the floor and they were evening gowns. To me, the one-hour dress is iconic 1920s, there are so many photos of women wearing a version of that dress.
Today's Hollywood films are much to blame for the false perception we have about what fashion was really like during this period.
Also the cheap versions of 20s clothing look so bad it is just painful if you try on the items
I agree! Those cliche dresses look so terrible!
My friends are throwing a 20's theamed party for 150 people and I feel so terrified that everyone is going all shortblingblingdressys there. I feel like if they are actually going to spend a *poop*load of money on the party, I should try (as a gest) to actually wear something more like from that timeperiod.
Mom is really feeding us well
Hahahhahahahaha
1920's fashion: boy-ish figure
My wide ass edwardian hips: i'm about to ruin this man's whole career
That's a mood
Brings up a good question, what did women who couldn't "pull off" the look wear? I would look terrible in 1920 clothes.
SuperMrsMar
I would often wonder the same thing. Then you look at the regular people behind the the main actors in the 1920’s movies. Especially if it was a street scene.
There you would see the larger ladies, the breasted ones with broad shoulders, looking like a beautifully wrapped box...in fur. 😉
SuperMrsMar One would wear a “boyishform” minimizing bra, a corselette (early girdle that narrowed the hips), and a slip over all of that, to make sure the fabric of one’s dress didn’t cling to any unfashionable curves!
@@SuperMrsMar they just looked bad and didnt show up in the fashionable pictures. Don't people wear fashionnova now when their bodies aren't suited for it?
This video needs to be a book just so I can throw it at people perpetrating misinformed nonsense.
She published a book. There is an advert for it. It is in Polish, though, ha ha.
@@user-mv9tt4st9k Very aware of that, thank you. Alas, that particular book is not called "1920s for Dummies" ;)
Best use suggestion for a book other than reading it I’ve ever read!
🤣😂
I imagine this took a HUGE amount of time to research, write, record, and edit. The payoff was fantastic. Thanks, Karolina.
Great video ! Very informative and correct! Cab you please tell me, how did you use those historical documentaries and photos from copyright point of view? I’m new to RUclips and am trying to record a video now and don’t really understand how to go about things like that. Will really appreciate if you share your experience.
@@mariyakotova202 Hi, Mariya. I didn't make the video. I was just complimenting Karolina's hard work. This is something you'll have to research, though. In fact, you will be able to find the information you are looking for on RUclips's website. It will be in an FAQ or something like that. Good luck!
Finally! Someone understands that a video is not only about editing! The editing is actually the "smallest piece" to say so. 😊
Meme mom coming in clutch just in time for everyone to rethink their lives before they hit “add to cart” on their halloween flapper dress from amazon. She is urging us to think historically accurate and not costume-y. What a queen!!! Thank you meme mom
I mean Lanvin has always had a pseudo 1920s to 1930s vibe in their modern clothes... a little bit of that usually in Prada as well. The thing is, real 1920s clothes were shapeless and would not be considering flattering to most modern women, which is why the 20s is bastardized. I highly doubt our 2020s will resemble anything like the 1920s...
I'm sorry, but I had to close the video when she said "colours". I can't stand historic inaccuracy, especially when it tries to cover up the fact that everything was black-and-white back then. I'm disappointed but not surprised, since it's an usual propaganda.
youre so cool

last time I was this early, 1880's curly bangs were still in style
Rocking the ‘80’s. The 1880’s!
I AM SO HERE FOR THIS
I have some of my grandmother's dresses from 1925-1927. My build is perfect for most styles from the decade and I am looking forward to seeing what new interpretations we see.
So does that mean you have a flat chest? Haha
I’m kidding :)
@@francisabernathy1587 Everything from that time is lost due to immigration for me. My grandparents didn't take anything from back then, and the stuff they wore was already sold before I was born, so with utter sadness, I feel you my dude.
Next year we will have to get used to the fact that 20s were 100 years ago
That's kinda strange
ShhhhHHHHH YOU DON'T NEED TO REMIND MEEEEE
Noooo! Don't remind me! Time is moving too quickly! D':
My Grandpa, who is still alive currently was born in 1923. So for him at least the 20s are still within his lifetime memories. And he remembers his mother keeping spare corset bones to replace in the corsets she wore. He was trying to show interest in my corset making and I had one in progress and so could show him the bones I was using and he got this wonderful look on his face and said "Oh so that's what those were! I wondered why mother had those in her underwear drawer. I used to poke my brothers with them!". :) And then talked about how she used to take in other people's washing and mending to earn a bit more money as his dad wouldn't always give her her allowance (to spend on food and the kids and stuff) and would instead spend it on getting drunk. And she had 13 of her own kids to look (well one died young, so I guess 12) after plus some of the other 10 from my grandpa's dad's previous marriage. So yeah, used them to fix stuff for other people too.
Chubby Bunny welcome to how it’s been at the Great Channel for the past 5 years
Here from the future to say don't worry! You'll have bigger problems
The one dislike is the Great Depression
Caroline Roberts to be fair, the Great Depression wasn’t a hit with many people...
anyone else wouldn't mind a 5 hour long video? Or documentary? Meme Mom Movie
Id watch it
The person who dislikes this must be one of the people who believed in "stereotypical 1920s"
Azharie Raemy 😭😂
Probably Karen who wants to wear her '1920s vintage dress flapper dress dancer skirt shirt robe for women' from Amazon on New Year's day for the 5th year in a row.
I love watching 20’s films because the girls aren’t judged for being flat chested 😂
I felt that lol.
You got judged for being overweight and having larger chests and otherwise being stout though. So not that good.
@@AlexaFaie Lmao what?
@@user-tv9rt5ud2s In the 1920s, the pressure was on larger women and larger breasted women to get the same boyish figure. There are magazine articles aimed at concealing the figure targetted to larger women, whilst those who were naturally smaller chested and more ruler shaped were praised and told they didn't need to change a thing. The message was that you could put away your shapewear and stuff, unless you were bigger of course, then you needed extra.
This sounds like an exciting series
“Keep the chest flat”
alas, Mother Nature has gifted me with a body shape resembling more to an edwardian One than anything else :0
I don't think we care about your perfect body.
SHALLISA-
Ignore the haters. Modern clothing makes that shape a curse. I too suffer from pre- 1910 curves.
same :/
@@DragonRebelRose same here- some of my 'friends' who preach body positivity and acceptance make fun of me for having small breasts. I think the fashion industry, in general, accepts plus size women but not skinnier women with small breasts. The hypocrisy smh
@@DragonRebelRose for real! As an 'A' cup women's shirts look like jokes on me, esp v-necks. I don't have boobs to fill them up so deep ones go down to my belly button 😂😭
I'm not much a fan of 20s fashion (I Do Not like moved waistlines and the silhouette doesn't suit me much) but damn if it wasn't super iconic.
So what I'm seeing is no one had ears or boobs in the 20s
Lmao! They pulled a van Gogh on us.
We all know boobs were invented in the late 1930s.
@@sexymoneyonion888 In the 1900's, women had a singular boob, cut them off for the 20's, and then grew two in the 30's
They didn't have a forehead either
6:41 i found one ear
I'm SO GLAD you're making a series about 1920s. I've been studying this decade for the past year amd a half for a project I'm doing and this really helps. I hope you will also include mens fashion because it is deceptively nuanced. Looking forward to the hair and makeup part because the PEOPLE MUST KNOW! 👏👏👏
Yes! definately include men's fashion. Early 1920s men suits are so cool looking.
last time i was this early, panniers still in trend
they kinda were in the 20s... look up 1920s robe de style
Flat chests will come back into style? Ah, my time has come.
ah no im doomed. my favorite decade and i cant even wear the clothes :(
Thank you Karolina! This is a huge project and very much needed. I very much appreciate you taking the time to construct a quick reference guide to the 1920s as they really were, with oodles of primary source material. Standing ovation here!
Thank you Cathy! It’s pretty vague but I hope it can give people a basic idea 😬

My friend is writing a book set in the twenties, and I have told him about your videos. Aside from me picking up many fashion books, your videos on twenties fashion have been a godsend. And to be perfectly honest, you're making my journey through fashion easier than it had been. Just, thank you. You're the best, meme mum.
Me, a flat chested woman: it’s my time to shine
This is incredible timing, I just got invited to a 1920s themed party!! Thank you!!
Hell yeah, rock that bag of potatoes, girl!
Make a one-hour dress (fairly easy to draft; and, yes, it will take longer than an hour to make) and search thrift shops for a pair of blocky heels, ha ha.
Am a little late, but how many kneecaps did you have to witness?
@@lilly6357 About 8 kneecaps, but way worse were the 7 headbands with feathers and the 11 polyester dresses
@@dessertisland2491 NOT THE FEATHERS
Your voice is so pretty and professional in this; I'm contented.
"...but we're not going to do that, because this video would be 5 hours long."
But I'd watch every single minute of it. Probably twice.
Some 1920's trends should come back next year, this era was so iconic omg ❤️
Oh, don't worry, they will. Fast fashion will milk those trends for all they're worth until we're all sick of looking at them.
Of course they won't be historically accurate.
This is great.. would love to see also fashion from the 30's and 40's
So struggling with winter wear from the 40's, mainly shoes for snow that will look nice with dresses/skirts
Ugh, 30s fashion is so awesome but so overshadowed by the 20s.
Don't mind me, just getting ready for 2020s.
yaas
We needed more preparation
Turns out 2020 would be slaying us, unexpected conditions.
Well, were you ready?
@@blathermore I was naive
I used to not want to know anything about fashion but damn am I getting into it now thanks to you
"This video would be 5 hours long." OH YEAH, SO???? I'd still watch it?????
If you think people wouldn't watch an entire 5 hour video of you discussing 20's fashion i think you're underselling yourself.
Loved this! Can't wait for more.
Thank you.
i really hope you plan on continuing this!! i love hearing about this decade, especially with how little resources i can find depicting it accurately :(
I'm so glad you've made this video just in time, even more glad it's more than 1 part
1920s: flat chested
me: finally a place i feel accepted :’)
Something interesting that I saw at my local H&M today, there seems to be a slight revival of the lowered waists, looser blouses and midi length skirts. Which was a nice take on a /slight/ 1920s revival, rather than just using fringe, feathers and the ever irritating gold and black LOL. Thanks for another awesome video Karolina, your channel has been keeping me going during the winter holidays!
I think people should dress however they wish, fully accurate or only inspired!
I hope everyone gets to express themselves freely with their clothes, hair and makeup, since it shouldn’t harm anyone!💚
I personally love more accurate looks, so I greatly appreciate this informative video!💛
Thank you so much for uploading for us!⭐️💛
Wonderfully said!
So looking forward to watching this ♥ I love the 20s the most!!
You should give a Period-accuracy grade to Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries
YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
I don't understand why the massive stereotype around 1920s clothing is so popular?? The stuff they actually wore is to die for!
I would love to see a video on men's fashion as well
I love this this! I spent hours looking into the 20th century events, politics, wars etc. whether it be through reading, documentaries and of course RUclips, great channels such as The Great War, Extra Credit, Armchair Historian.
Here though is such a fresh flavor in exploring how the past lived and how much more there was to life back then, and stray away from typical or misconceptions to bring us closer to the history we want to witness. New subscriber, can’t wait to see more
Karolina, perhaps you can shed light on this family mystery. My husband's grandmother was married (for the first time) in the mid 1920's. I have what I believe were her wedding shoes. The mystery was in reading her wedding announcement. She was from a somewhat prominent family in a suburb of St. Louis marrying into another prominent family from the area. It was a formal church wedding with bridesmaids and the like. The issue was her dress. It was dark brown velvet with her bridesmaids wearing lighter brown velvet dresses. The shoes I have are dark brown with gold metal trim.
Have you ever heard of other than white being popular for wedding dresses during this era? No one from her generation is alive to give an explanation.
Very good informative video I love that you don’t sound or come off as condescending in any way shape or form you just genuinely love the history of fashion can’t wait for more 😻
Omggg this series!! I’ve been dying for something like this! Thank you so much
I am writing my thesis on 20s female fashion in germany (more specifically Berlin) and this video was a lot of help! It was the perfect introduction and made it more easy to go deep in the detail of the era's fashion, instead of the more broad way a lot of other sources about the 20s mention it (short hair, baggy dress, etc). What i find the most interesting and striking is the way women's fashion became more "manly", as a direct reflection of the feministic spirit that rose during this era. Overall, there was a trend of the female clothing being more freeing and comfortable, which is a contrast to the complicated and time-consuming ways women would dress in the end of the 19th century. I am writing my thesis around the androgyny of the women's fashion that became a trend in the 1920s. Fascinating stuff!
Thank you so much! 20s are my favorite facion period in XX st. It's so cool that you decided to make special videos about these times!
You're not only well informed about your clothes. But also incredibly smart about the wars and hystory and I love that!!
I know I am a bit late to this video but I adore it. I love the Art Deco era and it’s nice to see info thats not the stereotypical 20s. I hope this series continues. I couldn’t find more but I do hope it continues. This was so handy 💜💜💜
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !! I’m not as familiar with 20’s fashion as I am with their decades, this series is going to be great ! Can’t wait to see more
Love this! Women's fashion often has a lot to cover and can be majorly confusing at times where one thing starts and another begins, so I love learning more about its broad strokes from someone who does their research. Can't find many good historical fashion channels that explain things so well and in so entertaining a way.
I think the 1920's silhouette is rather unflattering, but then again, 2020's fashion so far is pajamas, so I guess the 1920's had it going on. 🧐
I love your videos, your research and your accuracy. Could you go on with the 1920s encyclopaedia please?
Everything in me is watching this and screaming, “Yes! Yes! YESSSSSSSS!!!”
Ohhh I got so excited when I saw you uploaded this!! You said in your first 1920s themed video that the 20s wasn't one of your favourite eras, but I've actually grown fond of it (even if I couldn't pull it off to save my life) precisely because of your videos. I specially find 1920s Germany fascinating. Thank you for the well documented and beautifully delivered video.
So excited for this series!! I love that you are doing focused videos vs talking about everything in the 1st half of the decade & then everything in the 2nd. Having a video about each individual aspect of a 20’s wardrobe, helps to ensure that one is wearing the correct undergarments, accessories, makeup, etc, for either a true vintage; or, a period accurate reproduction day or evening dress. The 20’s were one of the best decades to keep up with the changes in fashion (for the wealthy of course). I love the androgynous aspects & I hope we see much more of this style in clothing, & not just on the runway; but also in more accessible retailers. Already excited for the next "chapter"!! 💜🦋
Really liked this! So much information done in a concise manner. So happy too, that you are doing a series. It brings back all of the styles I like, but sometimes I get into a rut in my fashion. This will get my sewing juices flowing again! Thank you.
watching this while reminding myself that the roaring 20's are gonna have to be postponed because of the coronavirus *cries in flapper*
Looking forward to that lingerie episode! Your comment about larger busts needing different types of undergarments to achieve the fashionable look really got me interested in learning more about plus size womens fashion throughout history and whether it deferred from the mainstream.
Your levels of research always blow my mind! Can't wait for the rest of the series 😊 When you want a less research-heavy one, I would LOVE to know your thoughts on Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, fashion-wise. It's set in Melbourne in the late 1920s, and in Miss Fisher, Dot, Aunt Prudence, Dr Mac and Jane there are five main female characters with very different styles, personalities, ages and builds. I love the show, and think it's more accurate than many others, but would love to know your opinions!
Phantastic video! What annoys me when people approach a 1920s look, is the makeup. Overdrawn lips (they made them look smaller than they were!) and high arched thin 1930s brows...grrrrrr
I can't wait for the evening/party wear episode so I can share it for all the 1920's themed new year parties this year before everyone shows up in fringe mini dresses, heels and a feather boa.
Man.. I wish more parts to this were made
Thanks so much for this! I plan on writing a mystery series set in the 1920s and this will help a lot in getting the clothing right.
Who else wants Karolina’s voice on their GPS? 🙋♀️
Btw I love this series, hope you continue it for other eras. ❤️
We need a nighttime wear tutorial for all the New Year's Eve parties!
I got a truly cursed fashion aesthetic for you: 1920s clothing, and I mean not the flapper dress specifically but a whole variety that's close to the real deal as humanly possible, but done in the style of the Rawr XD emo/scene kid culture aesthetic from the 2000s, and calling it the Rawring 20s
picture this - multicoloured crazy hair poking out under black-and-white striped cloche hats with a pink bow or two, checkered waistbands around the hips on dresses with edgy designs of band logos embroidered onto the fabrics, with neon leopard print stockings paired with lovely 1920s checkered heels laced up in crazy neon ribbon laces, and it's just a mix of black and neons no matter which way you looked
just how cursed can the Rawring 20s aesthetic get???
omg don’t tempt me
I love how you keep your fashions historacaly accurate!!
This is such a great idea for a series! Now I'm kind of tempted to make one of the 1920's dresses from patterns of fashion 2.
Would love to see you caleb with Safiya Nygaard and do a 1940s; 1930s and of course 1920s outfit look!! ❤
Oh I would LOVE that so much! Karolina, PLEASE make that happen!
Oh my GOSH YES
Ah! Downtown Abbey explores pre-war thru early 1920s life on an English estate - we get to see the costumes change gradually to reflect a lot of the stuff u mention!!
Thank you so much for making a true 20s history video 😭 its so difficult to find references for early, mid and late 20s fashion. Thank u!!
being absolutely excited about this, only to find out it’s nearly two years old and the only part of the series
Dresses, furs, and lower heels, I’m all for! Cloche hats-haven’t found one that I find flattering on me. Love this series!
I love this.
I love learning things and being entertained at the same time.
10/10 can't wait for future episodes. :D 🖤
I want to thank you so much for the videos you make and I would LOVE for you to keep up this encyclopedia series going on!!!! I would love to see any era!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ love your videos, you are fantastic❤❤❤❤
Oh God, this is exactly the kind of very specific content I need
im a big fan of 20s movies and while i dont know a lot about fashion it's painful to see how people reduce an entire decade to 01 (wrong) look. great video and i wouldnt mind if these were longer 😍
This series is a great idea! I'd love to learn more about when and how pants became an important fashion for women.
I love all your videos, but this is so far one of the best I've seen, so informative and the format is great! I'll be waiting for the next parts! :D
This needs to be show to every "Fashion Guru" Next year.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I haven't been a fashion historian and was only vaguely aware of period fashions because I studied art, so I saw some differences of course. But last year I had a young man write to me informing me we were related and he wanted a bit more information on his maternal grandfather, if I was open to it. It wasn't a surprise to me. I grew up knowing that my maternal Grandfather had at least 2 mistresses and one had produced a child. Here's the key: I have all the photos available from the maternal side of my great-grandmother's family. I also have a history that I gleaned from each living member of my maternal family members, all the way back to my great-grandmother's childhood memories starting somewhere in the early to mid-1860s. I needed some inspirational folly to unravel this Gordian Knot between the photos I have, the personal histories I've recorded, and some documents which I've found when searching because the timelines between memories and personal recollections didn't line up. The side effect is that I have grown a undeniable interest in women's and men's fashion and construction techniques. I am so very happy to have started following you rather recently because you are now focusing on a period that I am also researching at this moment.

That is so cool. I know hardly anything even about my grandparents...I‘m the youngest child of a youngest child and also lost my parents fairly early in life...so there’s no one I could quiz about it, really. I wish, I had had these kind of conversations, when I still had the option!
@@raraavis7782 You might be able to get some information. It turned out that I had an cousin 3-times removed, coming from my great grandfathers line, who was into genealogy and personal histories. My aunt gave my mother a mimeographed copy of the unpublished book he had written for each of his brothers and sisters. My mother gave it to me when I was about 18 and I promptly lost it. But I had read it and so when I was interested in finding out more about grandfather's life I had one name and an approximate date of birth, place of birth, and the first name of the woman he married. I also had a partial name of a battle fought with some Indians involving Texas Rangers. Apparently there was an earlier time when Texas Rangers meant that a bunch of local men used the name in a manner not unlike other less savory men's associations. It takes a long time to search for some bit of information in that manner, but once you strike gold you can go back pretty far. You can try that! I never got the book back, but I gathered the lineage and bits of histories I recognized as reading some 40+ years ago.
Love all the period-original fashion plates and images!
This upcoming 20's I'm gonna be dressing everyday and talk like a 1920's girl periodt.
I love this series please continue it
Yes! i’ve been needing some videos like this for a while now, thank you!!
That meme is epic Xp I was thinking that the other day. Lol. Also, the 20's, 40's, and 70's (ok kinda the 90's too) are my favorite eras in the most recent years. :) I am trying to incorporate more 20's, like Bonnie & Clyde type fancy stuff to my wardrobe, so THANK YOU for this video. I also mix and match decades, of course. :) I am addicted to clothes and thrifting lol. You are amazing!!! I chopped my hair off last year (it was down to my waist) and I am growing it back half inspired by you because your hair tutorials are a must! :)
So 1920s were basically Fashion's TomBoy era. No wonder I love this era so much.
I am soooooooo excited that you're doing this as a series, the 20's are my favorite fashion decade. I'm always excited to see and learn more!
Karolina: makes whole video series on 20s fashion
I sleep
Karolina: Shows one (1) picture of 30s clothes
Every fiber of my being gets activated, I'm excited, in love, going absolutely nuts about beautiful long lines and perfectly positioned waists
I am so looking forward to the rest of this series!
When you tell your friend that the 20s are not just short black dresses and feathers, and she's like: yes it was🙄
This video shows that Downton Abbey costumes were quite accurate indeed 😍 It also shows that Dowager Countess Violet Crawley dressed in Edwardian silhouette 😅
