Am I the only one who would love a 5-hour long video about this?

[LivLaugh]

"Otherwise it would be 5 hours long"
Well I don't see a problem here

[MadiBendy]

I cannot express enough how much I hate the cliche 1920’s clothing, your videos make me so happy. I wish the rest of the fashion industry was more informed like your videos.

I'm sorry, but I had to close the video when she said "colours". I can't stand historic inaccuracy, especially when it tries to cover up the fact that everything was black-and-white back then. I'm disappointed but not surprised, since it's an usual propaganda.

1920's fashion: boy-ish figure
My wide ass edwardian hips: i'm about to ruin this man's whole career

[elleplaudite]

This video needs to be a book just so I can throw it at people perpetrating misinformed nonsense.

I imagine this took a HUGE amount of time to research, write, record, and edit. The payoff was fantastic. Thanks, Karolina.

Meme mom coming in clutch just in time for everyone to rethink their lives before they hit “add to cart” on their halloween flapper dress from amazon. She is urging us to think historically accurate and not costume-y. What a queen!!! Thank you meme mom

Next year we will have to get used to the fact that 20s were 100 years ago
That's kinda strange

I have some of my grandmother's dresses from 1925-1927. My build is perfect for most styles from the decade and I am looking forward to seeing what new interpretations we see.

[myahackeberg]

last time I was this early, 1880's curly bangs were still in style

The person who dislikes this must be one of the people who believed in "stereotypical 1920s"

[carolineroberts]

The one dislike is the Great Depression

[nikkicedrone]

So what I'm seeing is no one had ears or boobs in the 20s

[arjay]

anyone else wouldn't mind a 5 hour long video? Or documentary? Meme Mom Movie

[sianvaladian]

I'm not much a fan of 20s fashion (I Do Not like moved waistlines and the silhouette doesn't suit me much) but damn if it wasn't super iconic.

Thank you Karolina! This is a huge project and very much needed. I very much appreciate you taking the time to construct a quick reference guide to the 1920s as they really were, with oodles of primary source material. Standing ovation here!

I got a truly cursed fashion aesthetic for you: 1920s clothing, and I mean not the flapper dress specifically but a whole variety that's close to the real deal as humanly possible, but done in the style of the Rawr XD emo/scene kid culture aesthetic from the 2000s, and calling it the Rawring 20s

picture this - multicoloured crazy hair poking out under black-and-white striped cloche hats with a pink bow or two, checkered waistbands around the hips on dresses with edgy designs of band logos embroidered onto the fabrics, with neon leopard print stockings paired with lovely 1920s checkered heels laced up in crazy neon ribbon laces, and it's just a mix of black and neons no matter which way you looked

just how cursed can the Rawring 20s aesthetic get???
