The aim of this blog is to take you there... to the 1920's!
I'll be posting photos, illustrations,
magazines, music, and all kinds of vintage things that come straight from the 1920's.
"We have Paris to thank for the convenient gilet and decorative scarf.
"Since one may, if one chooses, keep the suit coat on, a little lingerie gilet may well take the place of a blouse."
"Individuality in dress is achieved today not only in the cut of the garment, but in smart applications of color. Present day designs for hand embroideries employ simple stitches and present an excellent means of giving the touch of distinction."
From McCall's magazine, December 1926.
"From the season's best sellers. If you cannot find these blouses in your local shops, Miss Gould will be happy to buy them for you." From the Woman's Home Companion magazine, August 1921.
"Wash dishes the new way - keep your hands from getting red, rough, uncomfortable." Off topic, but I love the bow on her shoulder! Ad for Lux for all fine laundering, 1926.
"Pale crisp taffeta, bouffant skirt, scalloped hem, a smashing bow, these are the details of the party frock so attractive to young girls." From the Women's Home Companion magazine, December 1928.
"Inevitable Embroidery. Now you wear it on your sleeve!" Fashion illustration from the August 1921 issue of Women's Home Companion magazine. I think the shoes are so interesting!
"Also use Murine immediately after motoring and all other outdoor activities to rid your eyes of irritating particles and thus prevent a bloodshot condition."
Murine for your eyes, ad from 1928.
