1920s: The era of Art Deco, of Surrealism, of prohibition, of motorcars, and telephones being available for the middle class. In 1920 women gain the right to vote. African Americans push for equality and began to garner fame in film, business, music and literature. England and America is blossoming after World War 1, with booming industry and inventions. While other European countries suffer lack and unemployment. Radical political changes are born. In 1922 Mussolini creates the first fascist government. In 1923 the tomb of Tutankhamun is opened by Howard Carter, and baseball star Babe Ruth hits another home run to the delight of his fans. The “celebrity” is born thanks to mass media coverage, new improved motion picture houses, radios, and phonographs. Charlie Chaplin, Lilian Gish, Clara Bow, Rudolph Valentino, Mary Pickford, Louise Brooks and more grace the silver screen grabbing the affection, laughs and interest of the public. Record play out the music of Rudy Vallee, Paul Whiteman, Jelly Roll Morton and Bessie Smith. Literature is published at fantastic rate from authors like Fitzgerald, Hemingway and D.H. Laurence. In 1928 a man named Walt Disney introduced to the world to a little mouse name Mickey, and 1929 saw the first films with a completely African American cast.
While there is still a great interest in the 1920s, I have found that today's view of the era has degraded into something very different from the original. The perception of 1920s fashion is easily one of the most stereotyped and misunderstood out of all fashion eras. Women are often portrayed wearing a generic clothing with no period tailoring or subtle detailing. Some come close, while many are just completely and horrendously wrong. Most of this degradation can be accredited to people watching films that take artistic liberties because filmmakers think that the audience will not relate to accurate costumes or they just don't bother doing research at all. Also to blame is Halloween costumes which are usually as inexpensive as possible and again cater to the modern taste, and then there are celebrities, who do not care about historic accuracy but just want to look sexy or edgy. Thus this odd and tasteless image of the 1920s is born. In this video we will sweep away these layers of misinformation to reveal the true craftsmanship and beauty of 1920s fashion for women

I was lucky enough to have Great great Aunt's who would gather around my Grandmothers kitchen table to drink tea and have coffee cake. I got to hear lots of stories. My Grandmother didn't have children until late in life. She was probably in her 30s to early 40s. She married the Doctor whom she worked for and she loved him so much! He drove her to places she never would have seen had it not been for him. They drove down the old Route 66 when it was a 2 lane highway. He wanted children so badly and was in his 70s when my mother and uncle were born. I never thought that was fair due to the fact that he would not likely live long enough to raise them. He came down with what was then called Hardening of the arteries when my mother was 9 yrs. old. When my Grandmother spoke of him she always called him the Doctor. She was so tiny that I used to take her to get sample shoes. She wore a size 4B! We were lucky they still had them. She didn't get her driver's license until she was 64. She was the sweetest Grandmother and I miss her.

I know what it is to lose a parent. But Mom lost her Mom when she was 5 . In 1922. Jobs were hard to come by . There were 4 children. Her Dad could build a house but himself. And he was an inventor. Mom’s brother was sent to college. Girls had no need. Back in the late 20’s & 30’s. Times were hard. God’s blessing to those whose parents and Grands were the pioneers. Blessings on all parents who did the best possible for their children.

My grandmother was born in 1898. She was a very well dressed woman, an excellent seamstress and relatively modest in taste. I had the wonderful experience of seeing her wardrobes from the 20', 30's, 40's, and 50's as she saved her favorite pieces! She once made me a fur coat for my Barbie doll from a fur of hers. As well, I do remember a fox stole she'd wear (she sometimes wore her 40's and 50's dresses into the 70's when she passed). I remember her housedresses and aprons, you are spot on! A strong, independent, capable woman who worked to support her children. She fascinated me. I love and miss her still.

[Not 1920s. Please forgive me…] I inherited my grandmother’s 1940s silver fox coat. It was fabulous. I donated it to PETA. It was dipped in a substance resembling blood, joined a couple of other fur coats, and dragged down Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive.

@@brainmachine235 As someone who sold vintage clothing for years, I once bought a mink stole because it was too good of a deal to pass up, but couldn't bring myself to sell it. So I donated it to the local zoo to use as bedding for orphaned animals. At the time they didn't have a program for this, but I believe they do now. Seems a fitting and just end for furs. Not that I begrudge anyone wearing vintage furs if the climate warrants it.

The beach attire was less revealing than every day warm weather clothing today. Loved this presentation! Amazing how some of the knitwear could be worn today, as well as other items.

I really prefer what the Romanov family wore before the Soviet Jews(Bolchevics)slaughtered them,compared to what is available today readymade.King Solomon in the Bible said it was best to wear white,and the Romanov women wore a lot of white.The modest swimsuits looked a lot more comfortable,and a lot less slutty than today.Tight swimsuits always gather uncomfortable sand in the croth in the ocean.Supposedly swimming in the ocean was not always historically practiced in the U.S.A.,and I just see where women in sports has put our wardrobes into the gutter disrespecting us.Coco Chanel's short skirts look very uncomfortable,with her legs exposed,trying to be photographed seated,while negotiating her uncovered body in a revealing short dress; to prevent photographing up her skirt.I just feel women deserve an entire dress which they can comfortably sit in,or bend over without exposing everything,like they are a slave that doesn't even deserve clothing.The Russian Jews were sent over from N.Y.C.to slaughter 80 million Christians in 1917, including Czar Nicholas and the Romanovs,according to Eustace Mullins,in his book"The Christian Holocaust",for period dating their clothing.The first manufacture of color dyed cotton in America was here in North Carolina in Alamance County,Greensboro area,and pieces of the original mill support a building at the rest stop on U.S. Highway I - 40/I -85,mile marker 142.North Carolina was famous for it's textile and hosiery mills,and brown lung for some of the cotton and textile mill workers.Now the jobs have been shipped to Mexico.Hanes Hosiery Mills originated here as Shamrock Knitting Mills in Winston.

A wonderful presentation of women's clothing in the1920s, which happens to be one of my favorite era. My sister(1926-2022)was a fashion designer/dressmaker, and she made many of my outfits. I dabbled a little at sewing and so I was able to follow your explaining of different fabrics. Our clothing had it all. Beaded dresses, 💃chiffon with feathers, coats with fur collars and last but not least fur coats🦊 👠👛 Can't wait to hear your lovely voice and your next video 👏

IKR? One thing that amazes me is that every generation thinks they create something new. I actually used to in the very early 80’s used to to wear a minimizing bra. I’m not huge, but before implants, they made me feel uncomfortable for mainly no freaking clothes that fit the top to the bottom. . And hate to say it it, but the guys🙄 only a small C. I guess that was impressive back then idk🤷‍♀️ They didn’t strap it down, but kindof distribute it lol.

Wow! As the opposite of a fashion conscious person--I wear the same black jeans and sneakers, and cheap T-shirts every day--I love your channel. Your knowledge is encyclopedic, and your speech is impeccable. You could certainly could have been a consultant for the stinker of a film Babylon, which managed to avoid any semblance of the 1920s fashion, hairstyles or lingo. The 1920s fascinate me, and I am fortunate enough to live in a 1920s-built house in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles that retains many of the original features. Also, it's great you showed so many photos of African American women looking so stylish.

I have lots of little snippets and anecdotes. Nothing that could round out a story. I do have a silver mesh cocktail purse from her, and also a monogram engraved silver ladies wallet.

My beloved great aunt, born in the 1890s and narrowly escaped crossing the Atlantic from England on the Titanic because her little brother fell ill, requiring them to cancel their passage, proudly told me she was amongst the first women to bob her hair, and wear TROUSERS! I saw photos of her in Edwardian dresses and hats, but don't recall any of her in the 20s. Too bad. My mother was too young, and most of her photos from her youth were from the 1930s and 1940s. She had some beautiful clothes, even had a Chanel dress from the 30s, although sadly no photos and she'd gotten rid of it by the time I was born. She got married in 1947 and I don't think she ever got over her resentment of Dior for dramatically changing what was in vogue, because she'd bought her trousseau right before his New Look debuted, instantly rendering her trousseau as very visibly outdated. Aw, I miss you, Mom.

The art was less about women being skinny and more about the angular art deco style of the time. You could often see ads with advice for women to gain weight to be more attractive. Being fit and athletic (not too thin or too heavy) was the goal. Being too thin was considered sickly, especially after the Spanish flu of the 1910s.

You can see quite clearly how expensive clothes were back in the 1920s (or, more accurately, how cheap clothes are now). At 22:25 some of the blouses are $1.98 which is roughly equivalent to $35 today, but most are around the $5 mark, which is ballpark $85-90 now.

Madison, your comprehensive research and vast knowledge of so many different fashion eras, styles, textiles and designers is extremely impressive! You should have way more subscribers, as you are such an authority on this niche subject. I have always found your videos fascinating and so entertaining. Fashion from the 20s through to 50s is of particular interest to me. Your accurate insights into the 'real' constructs and designs of each era's garments and accessories is amazing. There are too many channels on yt, who only focus on what the wealthy wore or inaccurate information about the so-called 20s Flapper girls' tassle and fringe dresses. You not only address this, but you include what ALL women of the era wore. I noticed you mentioned how 20s prints and dress shapes were also incorporated into countries with more traditional clothing, such as Japan and China. The Japanese women were very sophisticated and wore such beautiful dresses and gowns. All the women in this video looked elegant and refined, whether they were dressed up or had a more casual look. It shows us that people from all walks of life were stylish too, regardless of how modest their financial budget may have been. Anyway, thank you for creating this brilliant video Madison. It's certainly a fabulous blast from the fashionable past. Much respect and admiration from Australia. 🤩☮️🇦🇺

@jayneneewing2369 my mother has told of how special it made her feel to wear a hat and gloves. It was just that "little extra." She was a bit of a tomboy, but they had to wear dresses to school. Dressing for church in her hat and gloves always made her feel like a lady. She and her sister always had matching dresses (my grandmother was a dressmaker), shoes, and even little matching handbags (always containing coins for the collection plate and a handkerchief). The 50s were a lovely time for fashion, and I'm obsessed with it. We found the gloves at a bridal salon, by the way. The girls all looked adorable in them.

Women's hemlines changed substantially during the 1920s. After 1925, hemlines rose higher, often hitting just below kneecap. A dress from 1922 was far more modest and frilly than a frock worn in 1928 or 1929.

Excellent video! Thank you! Except for jeans and tshirts, when speaking about dresses or skirts and blouses, fashion hasn’t really changed all that much since then. PS Harlem isn’t a city. Harlem is a neighborhood in New York City.
