I really enjoyed this. So much footage and stunning images. The advertising back then was an art in self. Thank you 🌺

How fabulous!!

Dear Madison, I finally got to watch this fantastic latest installment tonight! All of your hardwork definitely paid off! Your attention to detail is always amazing! As a side note, my great grandmother who was born in 1900 in Ohio, mentioned that she absolutely hated the woolen underwear they had to wear as it was extremely “scratchy and itchy”. Also, according to the few photographs we have of her and her sisters from the 1920s, they still dressed extremely modestly and I can’t help but wonder if typical flapper fashion was more common in the big cities? Thank you again for continuing to share your expertise with us! Sending a big hug! 💕🙏🏻

Where did you get that last picture of the guy and gal buttoned into the jacket together, the one where the guy is laughing? It's kind of adorable.

20s hairstyles are easier to manage than many modern hairstyles

As always, your presentation is informative and cultured --- such a blessed relief on youtube! Thank you again!♥

Thanks!

I adore your Fashion Archaeology series. Absolutely wonderful!! Thank you so much for your hard work and effort. This is such a useful and entertaining episode. Thank you so much!

I love the womans anklet (1:12). So sexy . . .

Fantastic job! The 20s/30s is my favourite fashion era to learn about and this is the best one I’ve seen so far! Binging your videos now and a new subscriber here! Keep up the good work! Best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 x

Ok and then you’re not gonna show what they actually wore then? Stupid ass video 🤦‍♂️

At time index 23:50 with the cartoon editorial of how women's fashions trends will end up if they kept going, they weren't far off with the right hand panel! There was a bald trend in the 1990s to early 2000 IIRC. It didn't really catch on, but it existed! And in the summer from the early 1970s to today some women do go out in such revealing attire. So whoever cartoonist drew and wrote that was almost dead on! It just took about 70 years!

I'd love a video where you pick apart bad flapper costumes & show what they'd look like if they were more accurate.

If you could make an illustrated book about what people really wore in the 1920s, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

The delicacy of lingerie ornamentation is just lovely. Your research for this video is meticulous!

Mich fun. My grandmother's grew up in the 20's. I think the men looked more stylish then the women.

That opening shot was awesome!

Vacum in the 1920s ? It look a bit modern ?

I’ve been utterly fascinated with the 1920’s since I was 4 years old!! It’s a longing!!

Yay! 💜

I love this series so much :)

Kudos on the selection of imagery for this. I especially appreciate the ethnic diversity! Great job overall.

What a whoosh of Spring!

Dear Madison, Thank you for a most wonderfully researched, thorough, educational, and fascinating video. I can see similarities in current styles. I definitely remember stretchy girdles with garters or garter belts to hold up our nylon stockings when I was in 8th grade (when I was allowed to wear them) and having to adjust them. Pantyhose didn’t become popular until the mid-60’s. if I remember correctly.

Fantastic!! I was a little worried when I saw this was about undergarments and swimsuits, but you showed everything in such a wonderfully modest fashion!! 😊

I was looking forward to this one, and you didn’t disappoint, Madison. It’s a wonderful addition to your series! I can’t imagine the work, and time involved. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Well done, Madison! As you may recall, I am producing an animated film set in 1926. Finding accurate clothing for my characters has been almost impossible, but I’ve been doing my best. There is a scene in the film where ladies’ underwear could be seen, and I hadn’t researched the topic yet. Thank you for your efforts to produce this video! 👏👏👏🌸

"Come on babe, why don't we paint the town? And all that jazz I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down And all that jazz..."

Thank you for that precious collection of lingerie of the 20s. ❤Very interesting from a historical point of view. I am not convinced that it could be re-introduced in fashion because of change of health.

With all the crime in the 1920s, you'd think that cities would have better uses for their police than patrolling the beaches with measuring tapes. 🤔

Your fashion documentaries are so enjoyable, Madison! I had never heard about the knee painting at 12:59 before. How did that start?

I am now influenced to get a racoon coat, fly style

I bet this would be a great video to watch, for people who don’t speak English as their first language, since you have such good annunciation and don’t talk too fast.

I'm doing research on the 1920s and this is fantastic. Thank you! <3

Great episode!!!!!!!

Very interesting. We had at home many photos of women of the family that seemed like these I saw here

Literally looking for inspiration because our community theatre production of Anything goes opens next friday and I started laughing so hard when I heard the opening music

Love this!

Flat cap and newsboy caps are different styles. A NEWSBOY CAP (Newsies, Paperboy, Bakerboy caps) look rounder, puffier and a little baggy, originated in 1800 North America. It has strips of material akin to "pizza slices" sewn together and a button in the center. A FLAT CAP (ivy cap, crook cap, driving cap, cabbie cap) fits more closely on the head and is constructed from several strips sewn together in the back of the same material, having a smooth, consistent "one-piece" look, with no "pizza slices" and no top button. They are two different looks. In the add at 6:54 are shown ten cloth hats. All but two are Newsboy caps. Only the second one from the left along the array at the bottom is a flat cap. Notice the buttons atop the Newsboy caps. I wear flat caps made in Ireland and the Flat cap traces it origins to the 16th century England where it was called a "bonnet". They began calling it a cap just before 1700, except in Scotland, where it is referred to as a bunnet. The two caps are shown together at 7:14 Newsboy on the left; Flat cap on the right.

Just over here hoping you do a series on the 1930s 🤞🏻😃🤞🏻

My uncle ran a pool hall so my sister and I used to steal his pool chalk. Beautiful BLUE. it was the 70's.

This video would have been PERFECT!👌 But at 6:43 the 60's music does NOT play! 😩 Terrible failure!😱....Sorry, but..I can't give LIKE 😠

I have my Grandma's flapper hat and the swinging beads.

Your wooden cuff bracelets are stunning, works of art. Really impressive, I adore them. They have perfect design and even look like they would be comfortable. I just haven't seen any jewelry like it before, quite stunned and a bit green eyed monstery.
