Description As Promised, here it is. I drew these at college between classes, completely from memory. I only used reference from my Lit book for the 40's shoes.

1. 1910- Edwardian, I believe it is called. The Gibson girl era. Note the bouffant...
2. 1920- flappers. of course this dress is longer than the normal flapper dresses.
3. 1940's- fashion becomes a little more masculine for women
4. 1950- fashion becomes very feminine again with full skirts and high heels
5. 1970- blah! polyester!
6. Present- we're all familiar with this fashion (I couldn't do the 80's and 90's... just too painful to draw...)

I'm going to have a 1300's- 1600's fashion lineup soon. If there is anything you would like to see done in fashion terms, feel free to ask

I'll also have a how to dress victorian 101 lineup with the steps to dress yourself in a civil war dress and a victorian bustle dress

I love it! You mentioned suggestions, so have an 18th century to late 19th century to fill in some of the gaps.

YES! I would love to be able to still dress in the 1700's fashions... but, it's the modern world and we must conform or else we'll look crazy...

Annoying and crazy is far more fun than conformist! My friend are making a pair of knee breeches. We're debating about when we should wear them to school...I dunno if I have the guts quite yet, tho...

I reallllly want to. The fact that many find it obnoxious when a theatre kids wears a costume as regular clothing is the only holding me back.....

eh, I don't know, I'd still do it, just to make them mad...

DarkLadyOSonnets In reply to WisdomsPearl [2008-02-17 02:49:08 +0000 UTC]

That would be fun. The only question is whether to only wear the pant, or go all out.....

WisdomsPearl In reply to DarkLadyOSonnets [2008-02-17 04:01:47 +0000 UTC]

Going all out would be being brave... I'd think that taking baby steps first would be best... and, then, who knows? If you feel up to it, go ALL OUT!
