Clothing of the "Roaring `20s" comes to life in this new book through more than 550 color pictures of distinctive garments, fashion illustrations, and period photographs. The comprehensive text discusses the historical events and renowned designers who influenced the evolution of fashion throughout the decade. Fashions for men, women and children are shown here, from glittering evening gowns and bridal wear to lingerie, sportswear, and domestic uniforms. Hats, handbags, shoes, and jewelry plus smoking and drinking accessories are all included to document the heyday of the "flapper" and her friends. The glossary includes French fashion terms and pronunciations and the price guide is a useful reference.

Fabulous flappers!,

This review is from: Fashions of the Roaring '20s (Paperback)
I referred to this book extensively while writing my historical novel, SLAPSTICK (LTDBooks). Since I also collect vintage clothing from the Edwardian era through the '30s, it also came in handy for dating and authenticating my own collection. This book has it all, from underwear to children's clothing.

The Best Book On 1920s Fashion & Accessories,
This review is from: Fashions of the Roaring '20s (Paperback)
I have recently surveyed all of the books on 1920s fashion and accessories. This is the best one for information and clarity. Wonderful pictures and details that you will not find in any other book. Text is short but pithy. A real treasure. I also recommend her 1930s book too!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fashions of the Roaring '20s (Paperback)
Dear Amazon,
I purchased this book from Amazon as a birthday gift for my daughter, who loves 1920s fashions. I was delighted when the book arrived in plenty of time for her birthday on 14 May, and much earlier than Amazon's estimated delivery time. My daughter LOVES this book and I do too! It is filled with beautiful colour illustrations of the fashions of the time, including underwear, children's and men's fashions too. It also has a considerable amount of historical information regarding what was happening in the world during the 1920s. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the 1920s and what women were wearing during that decade. Maria Faen
