| Commentaires : | 1920's Fashion Dress styles and even the ideal "silhouette" of a woman changed dramatically in the 1920's. Girdles were often discarded. Linen towels replaced brassieres to flatten curves for the boyish silhouette. Simply made, loosely fitted garments, often in beige or fawn, became fashionable. The most notable feature of the mid-1920's was the long shapeless day dress bodice, often slightly bloused over the lowered waistline, and shortened skirt. Swathed belts and sashes were worn at hip level. Often, dresses consisted of two nearly straight pieces. Hemlines varied between lower calf and ankle-length until 1924 when hemlines went to just below the knee. Lowered waistlines with partial or full belts or sashes were typical. As were tiered and tunic or apron style skirts. Silver, gold, gunmetal, black, pink, brown, and blue beads were arranged at necklines, on bodices, sashes, and tunic-like hemlines of dresses in the mid 1920's. Some were completely covered form bustline to hem. The weight of these garments was considerable. Cam Becker says this was a tablecloth. November 28, 3007 |
