What they wore in 1920

Today I thought it would be fun if we took a peek back in time to the 1920's. Grab your coffee and lets go back in time!


The 1920's was the "Cloche and Flapper" Decade. 


The cloche hat was very fitted and often worn tilted and covering the forehead. Women sported a short hair cut that was styled flat to be able to fit under their hats.

The flapper dress was basically a straight and loose style dress.

Throughout the 20's the length of the dress varied. in the early 20's the dress was about calf length, In the mid 20's the dress was at it's shortest just hanging out around the knees. During the 20's the waist line dropped to the hip but by the early 30's in rose back up to it's normal waist line position. The flapper dress made women look young and boyish.

So how did the evolving flapper pull off the look? 

Heavy makeup was used, They had kohl rimmed eyes, lot's of blush and the look of bee stung lips. Let's not forget the heavy many layers of beaded necklaces they wore along with art deco pieces.
