The 'roaring twenties' marked a vibrant era for women's fashion, epitomized by the flapper's lively spirit in sparkling dresses adorned with fringes. This decade brought newfound freedom in style, as hemlines rose and waistlines fell, leading to a surge in home dressmaking. Women with basic sewing skills embraced tissue paper patterns to create fashionable garments. This practical guide delves into the trends and background of 1920s women's fashion, showcasing various typical outfits of the time. Suzanne Rowland offers a unique perspective on crafting vintage 1920s clothing, drawing inspiration from the dress collections at the Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton & Hove, and Worthing Museum and Art Gallery. The book features fifteen detailed projects, including daring beach pyjamas, an East Sussex wedding dress, and a simple striped frock perfect for seaside outings. Each project is complemented by a description of the original garment, illustrations, and photographs of the actual pieces. Scaled patterns, material lists, and step-by-step instructions with close-up photos guide the reader through the making process, incorporating insights into the original techniques used.
Includes eleven detailed projects, which form a capsule collection of clothing and accessories that might have been worn by an Edwardian governess, a woman travelling on an ocean liner, a campaigning suffragette, or a wife overseeing a busy household in a large country house.
