1920s - fashion with fun, whimsy and chic

[Brooksie]

Thank you so much Paul, Cherry Lips, Lauren, Mojito and Crazy Daisy for all of the wonderful words - I hope I did not miss anybody here.

I would have to say out of all of the era's the 1920's suits me the best (I wish I had more 20's clothes) - I have always hated my figure or lack of one (when I was younger) but I have learned to love it now because I can look like a sassy flapper!

 

[Mojito]

They're great photos, Brooksie. And you do have the figure to showcase these styles - like Lauren and Miss Sis you're not "skinny" but slender, which has a whole different connotation, and lightly athletic, which is one of the ideals of the era. Well put together!

 

[crazydaisy]

This is just: WOW!! If I were you I would never ever wear anything else but 20's style! Beautiful!

 

[Brooksie]

Awwww thanks crazy daisy!

 

[Paul]

You may not have quantity (20's cloths wise) but you certainly have quality and style, you just look out of this world wearing this. Fabulous!

Brooksie... I must have missed it if you posted it, but who is your photographer? :eusa_clap

 

[TessTrueheart]

Are there any online repro resourses for 20s clothing? I know that unique vintage carry some flapper dresses, but where does one shop for day wear?

 

[cherry lips]

Tess, the ladies here probably have less pricey suggestions, but the only on I have is ReVamp:

[Lauren]

That's probably my favorite outfit from revamp, that first one.
This is my favorite for repro 20s clothing:

It has been a while since I have been on here (I mean this thread - not the lounge in general)... thank you again Paul for your compliments. I have a few more outfits to post - one of these days. I have been in the process of moving and as of a few days ago I have just gotten settled in now.

Lolita to answer your question about my photographer, I have a few but the one that did this shoot is JD Images (Jim Dorothy) out of Gladstone Oregon.

Also - Mojito, I just want to thank you so much for starting this thread it has been a lot of fun:eusa_clap and I also want to add that you have the most exquisite and enviable 1920's clothing collection that I have ever seen.

Oh my, they have some beautiful stuff!

 

[Lauren]

I'm lusting after this one, especially. I saw it last year at the Queen Mary deco festival, and it would be THE perfect summer dress.

some 20s clothing sharing from NYC!

a lot of these are from my 20s/30s monthly event, Wit's End...and some are from Dances of Vice- my pal Shien's amazing vintage event here!

from Wit's End's premiere night...with my slip peeking out!

from Dances of Vice - Les Secrets du Boudoir : in 20s silk romper and stockings...c. Don Spiro

from Dances of Vice's Spring Ball...wearing freesia with the 20s gown

Justa few! I came into a windfall of 20s pieces lately, and I can't wait to wear them!

 

[crazydaisy]

Clubwitsend, you look beautiful. So gracious!

Clubwitsend, you look beautiful. So gracious!

Aw, thanks! That's so sweet of you!

 

[Mojito]

TessTrueHart, I'm sure Leluxe would ship to you - they've sent things down to me here in Oz (and are very fast!). I have quite a few of their slips and some of their bandeaux.

CherryLips, I hadn't seen those Revamp dresses - I'll have to go have a look.

Clubwitsend...gowns, hair, makeup, accessories, poise - all perfection! I love seeing photos of these events - they just look like so much fun. I hope to time my next visit to the States to coincide with one. Looking forward to photos of your 20s windfall. I've been preoccupied with work and have just returned from Greece, and have a whole pile of 20s pieces that I haven't photographed yet. Hope to do so soon.

 

[Mojito]

And blushes with thanks to you, Brooksie! I enjoy this thread so much, and I'm glad others do as well. I'm glad my 20s vice is shared by so many gorgeous ladies, with some many beautiful pieces.
