After seeing the 1700s, and 1800s outfits, this makes my brain think you’re “naked”. Even though I know you aren’t. Like if you chose to go outside in your chemise only.
Same that's why I think the transition to 1920s was so wild! It's like a complete 360. I wonder what the conversation was around that time about their clothes. Was society triggered? Did ladies want more comfort and free forming clothes? The transition was wicked fast and different 😅
I saw someone making herself some 20s undergarments meant to make curvier women look flatter. They work but I heard many people hated the lower part because it actually pinches your hips and it hurts.
I used to HATE 1920’s fashion until I saw Kendra on Démodé make the most gorgeous day dress. It was sooo flattering. She made it on a whim for an Art Deco Society picnic and just nailed it. Previous to her I thought it was so frumpy. Then Downton Abbey came along and I just had little heart eyes every episode. Love, love, love this on you!!!!
@@isabellarebekah436I posted it but I’ve been having a weird issue lately with RUclips “eating” my replies. If you google démodé 1920’s dress you’ll find the page.
@@isabellarebekah436I’ve tried to reply a few times and it just won’t work. Search Démodé Couture 1923 and the first link should a page with some thumbnails. Sadly I don’t think she has her full construction page up for that dress.
Finally, my favorite era! If you ever get to the NY/NJ Metro area, check out the Jazz Age Lawn Fest on governor's Island. It's held 2 weekends every summer & is a nice little picnic with some day-drinking 🤭 & dancing.
You need to make that side bow bigger so that the ends of the tie are not hanging so low below your hem, almost touching the ground, and fix it up so it doesnt look quite so raggedy. You could also enhance the dress with a broach. Evening wear did not necessarily require sequins or beadwork, there were also some very nice materials like silk chiffons, velvet, satins. You do look adorable in 1920s style. (Wow, when all your life you've said "the 20s," and now you have to specify the 1920s! 😮)
It was only recently that I suddenly undersood that fortunately, just like in previous eras they very soon invented the shhaping garments that helped to create the desired silhouette (brassiere and hip-level corset) I have always liked 1920ies (and many other eras), but always thought I can't wear this because of looking frumpy in everything drop-waist.
It's adorable, and so comfortable for summer where I live! (I'm old enough to have been a "matron" in those days - maybe even now 😆 - and my figure is much more suited to the older style, so I probably would've been one of the holdouts in serious undergarments...)
You are SO correct!!! the twenties dress and accessories are scrumptious on you. I have seen larger figures looking great; especially pearls and furred collars on coats and the women holding small adorable puppies. Done the right way; it will work! The look HAS to come back! the stockings! Your shoes! Perfect beautiful strings of pearls, very beautiful dress on you! There has to be room in the world for charm and fun!!! thank you! If you would I would Leo to know what material is the dress?
Honestly, the 1920s are my least favorite (except for modern) style. I prefer the fancy & full dresses of the Victorian era. But you make this look so cute.
I collect and resell antique and vintage jewelry (some purses and shoes) and every time I see you in a new outfit I think to myself “oh, I have the right brooch or necklace for that!!” lol😂😂😂
I'm someone who was told that if I were born and survived in 1893 instead of 1993 that I would've had fun being a model during the Roaring 20s. It might've been a short modeling career all things including my age considered, though. I'm curious to know how many models turned 31 and got to keep their career because I heard a famous model from a famous family say that she feared for her career when she turned 27. Edited: to add and fix spelling. I'm going to see what Google search results come up with. A significant number of models in this century so far do still model past 31. I wonder how different it was back then with how Fashion Houses were about to become more common and if maybe The Flapper look being popular amongst those in their early 20s is the reason why we see fewer photos of models who were in their 30s showing off the same style. Was it all just marketing?
Sleeveless during the day? "The flappers wore thin dresses, short-sleeved and occasionally (in the evening) sleeveless; some of the wilder young things rolled their stockings below their knees, revealing to the shocked eyes of virtue a fleeting glance of shin-bones and knee-cap; and many of them were visibly using cosmetics. "The intoxication of rouge," earnestly explained Dorothy Speare in Dancers in the Dark, "is an insidious vintage known to more girls than mere man can ever believe." Useless for frantic parents to insist that no lady did such things; the answer was that the daughters of ladies were doing it, and even retouching their masterpieces in public. Some of them, furthermore, were abandoning their corsets. "The men won't dance with you if you wear a corset," they were quoted as saying." --‘Only Yesterday An Informal History Of The Nineteen Twenties’, Frederick Lewis Allen (1931)
I like watching your videos on the antique and classic clothing back in the day. Plus you're very funny I like that as well. Maybe you can talk your husband / boyfriend into modelling some of the men's clothing from back then. Be kind of neat to see what us guys wore as well.
I'm beginning to think that flattering means whatever gives the siluette that's considered pretty at the time. Because in the 20's everyone was trying to look very flat but right now it's all about the hourglass shape.
I think "flattering" is more personalized. It's about that person's proportions and having a neckline, waistline, and hemline that looks proportional for that particular person. Also skirt and sleeve volume can have a big effect on how proportional or balanced that person looks.
You’re confusing flattering with trendy. Flattering works for the individual, trendy works for the mass conformist culture and idea of what should be worn irregardless of the individual’s proportions. People who follow trends are trying to force themselves into outfits that aren’t for them, generally because they have no sense of style or personality. People who wear flattering clothing make the clothing work for them not vice versa.
Where did you buy the stockings buying my first real sewing machine and Im very inspired by all decades I haven't sewed since highschool I took three years of apparel I hope it'll be like riding a bike. The last time I touched my high school sewing machine was 2010 I'm 32 now. Thank you for inspiring me with more looks. Fun fact about me my name is Bonnie 👠 💄...maybe why I'm so inspired by the1920- depression era we should bring it back especially in the south I'm from Texas and the humidity kinda kills like I'm epileptic and always looking for light weight fabric that I can use to look like the 20's and combat the humidity and heat. God bless you and love your content. Soooo inspired! ❤
The 20s really isn’t one of my favorite costuming periods which is to bad because I love the era and we’re in the 20s now but it doesn’t give me the ooos and ahhhhhs that other fashion eras give me. I’ve made 1 20s dress for a party and it wasn’t to bad; the dress was pretty and I looked cute, but given the size of my upper assets getting the right silhouette took some work. All that said THIS LOOK SLAPS! The dress looks so light and breezy and the hat necklace and shoes *chef’s kiss*
😄 This SO reminds me of the pearl necklace scene in the movie Thoroughly Modern Millie, where she couldn’t get her long strand of beads to lay flat over her lady bumps until she saw a brazier in the store window that significantly flattened things and allowed her beads to lay perfectly. Such a great movie!! 😅

20s fashion isn't for everyone, but it does look adorable on you! I'm far too big to wear things like that, it would look like I'm cosplaying Dobby 😅
Everything looks adorable on her.
You can look good in slip dresses! Just buy ones with thicker fabric or darker colours. I'm a big boy too and I look great in mesh and thin clothes ✨
@@slithra227 This!!❤
I seriously want some of these
@@slithra227I hope you're not wearing women's clothes 🤦🏽♀️

Me too fam. I feel the same about myself when I go from my winter to summer wardrobe.
@scy77a yes! That's what clicked in my mind for me. Older folks were upset!

Right?? I would be so uncomfortable in this. 😂
How freeing that would be after all of those layers!
I love the 20s, but as someone with an Edwardian figure, if I was alive during that time, it would have been a nightmare.
Ditto! I'm a Lilly Langtry curvaceous type.
The 20's style was closer to modern Heroin Chique, and prepubescent girls. 🧐🤨
I saw someone making herself some 20s undergarments meant to make curvier women look flatter. They work but I heard many people hated the lower part because it actually pinches your hips and it hurts.
I’ve never seen anything from this era that I’ve thought was cute or would look good on me. I would be a 1910s/1950s gal.
I feel like the diaphanous fabric on this dress in particular could drape well over curves, but yeah part of me winces at the belt placement😅

That's the way I feel about it actually! I have some curves but I prefer a more "boyish" or androgynous silhouette
I love 1920s fashion for women and men. ❤❤
That is super cute, it really looks great on you. Stunning.
Downton Abbey vibes! Love it!!!!

I feel frumpy in 20's
Oh my god the SHOESSSSS and the BACKKK
The 1920's isn't my favorite era either but those two details really sell it for me
This is my favorite era in clothes!
It's cute! Looks comfy too
My preferred fashion era is early to mid Victorian Era and then the 1950's so it's so strange seeing so little on a person lol!
The shoes 😱 THE SHOES! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Those are the Bernadette from American Duchess
It’s lovely!!!! The fabric does look particularly lovely fluttering about 😊
My great Aunt dressed like that and she was a flapper ❤
My grandmother as well.
I love the style but do things in mostly black. The 20s silhouette is the most flattering for those US that are rectangular figures.
I am rectangular too, but with a bigger chest. I don't feel pretty in 20's clothes.
@@minagelina for me, it gives the illusion of curves.
It's adorable, and so comfortable for summer where I live! (I'm old enough to have been a "matron" in those days - maybe even now 😆 - and my figure is much more suited to the older style, so I probably would've been one of the holdouts in serious undergarments...)
This is very cute! On you. I'm built completely different but you have a much more 20s aesthetic and this outfit looks adorable on you!
I love 1920s styles!
I love the 1920's! also you look marvelous!

I love your content cause I'm a adventurous person and I'm always curious about history
I'm dying for those shoes!!
Love this but I think the hem needs to be a little longer, maybe mid calf. That would make it even more beautiful on you.
Yeah it would look better that way but she wanted it to look cutesy I think so a shorter dress
I was a part of the 1920s-1950s fashion community for a while and you video brought back some really nice memories.
Thank you for that! ❤
So so beautiful!!!
Those shoes I love!
Cute and comfortable! ❤️
Truly. Adorable!
The downton abbey style 😻
I love flapper fashion ❤❤😍
It's fully giving Rose McClare and I'm obsessed.
I love your work! The clothing is always lovely!
So cute! I love this!
Love everything about this! 💖 you look gorgeous!
OMG that hat! 😍❤
It looks amazing
The stocking are super cute 😊. Did they wear patterned/designed stockings like that ? Xxx
Yes patterned tights were super popular in the 1920s and also the 1960s
Scandalously short skirt!

You made that look so easy😊😊😊
Always cute on you. I’ve never noticed the tattoo on your arm either. I guess you often wear dresses with sleeves.
Oh that looks so comfortable! It’s so hot and humid in central TX today, now I want to make a dress like that! 🥵
🇺🇸 I love 1920 fashion you look FAB!
That outfit looks awesome on you &: I would totally wear that.
It looks really gorgeous❤
This is gorgeous ❤ is there a pattern available?
that’s gorgeous😮

So cute!!!
You look adorable!
Yes, very adorable
So awesome cute!!!!
I like it, I wore those beads when I was a teen.
Thats cute 🥰 reminds me of the movie fried green tomatoes
I love it! 🥰
The shoes are to die for
Love it!

So good!
So cute. You can wear it because you're so slender. The perfect silhouette for 20's clothes.
Where did you buy those shoes please?
Google “American Duchess Bernadette”
It is adorable
I have those shoes in black and white!
The transitions from full skirts and big dresses to this. Do you think you could do the transition from the big dress to this please ? Xx
My grandparents were married in 1929…this is very reminiscent of one of her outfits 🫶🏼💕🌸💕🫶🏼
The SHOES .... 😍
Where do you purchase the shoes? I love shoes that look retro like that but can very rarely find anything.
Not 100% certain but I think they’re American Duchess’s Bernadette shoes!
Garden party vibes.
That's adorable! I'm not sure I could handle such drapey fabric, though. It tends to look slouchy on me.
So cuteeeeee!!!!
The scalps lining under the shear fabric 💋
Which came first, the Charleston or the style?😅 I'm convinced: You're just gorgeous in anything!❤️
The style, this was being worn early as 1917 in the evening.
My favorite thing from 1920s-1940s are the hats. I wouldn't look very good in 20s fashions unfortunately. I'd look better in Edwardian.
Cute! Wonder if sleeveless for day seems unusual for this time? Anyway lovely dress
I would love to see women dressed like that today.
I would wear that window shopping and everyone would admire me.

No of those multiple petticoats and corsets, freedom.
Honestly, not a bad Charleston at all!
Amazing
Love it
Idk why but it's giving me Ruth and Idgie from Fried Green Tomatoes
I love it
