The Flapper’s Leg Allure
In the 1910s, women’s skirts became shorter, and by the 1920s the sight of bare female legs no longer surprised anyone.
Black wedding dress
A bride in a black dress is not a scene from a horror movie or a Gothic novel with ghosts, but a completely ordinary — even traditional — outfit for brides in the 19th and the first half of the 20th century.
Curvy Fashion
Curvy Fashion or as it was often written before for “stout women” appears in the 1910s, when corsets went out of fashion.
Robe de Style
The robe de style was a fashionable dress design of the 1920s, characterized by a voluminous skirt that distinguished it from the then-popular straight, rectangular silhouette.
Jodhpur and Breeches
Jodhpur pants (or trousers) and Riding Breeches are two types of pants that are similar in silhouette. Main feature: very wide, loose-fitting trousers in the hips and narrow from the knee down.
Painted knees and rolled down stockings
Flappers, as fashion-forward young women of the Roaring Twenties were called, were very bold in their style choices. We have a separate post about them.
Turban, 20th century
A Turban is a headdress that has been fashionable since the Middle Ages. We wrote a separate post about the history of the turban in Western fashion before the 19th century.
Flappers
Flappers are the ultra-trendy, fashionable, emancipated young women of the 1920s. These girls are the symbol of the Roaring Twenties. If we talk about the fashion of the 1920s, it is the flappers that personify this style.
Drawn stockings
In the early 20th century, women’s skirts began to shorten, but going out with bare legs was still considered indecent. Ultra-fashionable women started painting patterns directly onto their legs, imitating the look of stockings.
