1920s
I hadn't really planned on doing another historical costume, but the latest trend in dapper-chic fashion is currently 1920s style apparel. I think this style was driven by popular movies; Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Great Gatsby, and Chicago. You can buy beautiful 1920s style party dresses on Amazon for $40.
As a historical period, it was a truly massive cultural change, stirred by the end of WW1 and women’s suffrage.
All women’s fashion changed; shorter hair styles, bare shoulders, higher hems, long necklaces, cloche hats, slimfit swimwear, smaller underclothes, hosiery, shoes.
The women’s rights brought on a new sense of feminine expression; new attitudes, new fashions, new music/dances. Modernist movements in Hollywood [art deco], and the ‘Roaring Twenties’ consumer culture. Ready to wear fashions. Cosmetic counters. Beaded dresses with low cut backs. Coco Chanel. A booming fine art and fashion era. There was Jazz and Prohibition of alcohol in America. Auto-mobiles gained popularity. Social melting-pots and cultural explosion in major cities. ect.
I ended up wearing this because of a 1920s themed gala party that I was attending. My dress is sequined and beaded. and it has a little slit in the front for dancing.
Some event photo booth Pictures, and others that I took at home.
