A Touch of the 1920’s

Today’s post is all about appreciating the various aspects of life during the 1920’s. Β From recipes to fashion and a bit in between, I hope you enjoy these reflections of the past. Β And of course, I hope you will try one of the delicious recipes provided below…I know I will! πŸ™‚

Spring weddings are the perfect time to choose something bright and cheerful! Β I love the cut of the green dress!

Finding the perfect wave and bob is such an eternal struggle. Β Maybe these images will help spark some ideas!

Upcoming rainy days mean bringing out the old reliable rain coat! Β This stylish lady has both a matching hat and jacket in a happy shade of blue!

This lady is not onlyΒ impeccably dressed, sheΒ is also in a stunning location!

Host a spring tea party and make a few of these little treats to serve!

I adore house plans, and this little bungalow is equal parts quaint and charming!

Happy 1920’s my friends!


One Piece Dress: 1920’s Style

This dress started in the same way that many of my sewing projects have started…with a picture. Β A simple, little picture of a dress. Β This particular picture was tossed among waves of other dresses, yet it poppedΒ right out of the page and straight into my imagination.

You see, I have a hard time with 1920’s dresses. Β Not because they aren’t cute, or because they aren’t stylish in their own way…but because then have little to no waistline. Β And being a girl with a body shape that emphasizes finding said waist, this style goes against the grain. Β Nonetheless, the little image of an early 1920’s dress just wiggled it’s way right into my heart, and I knew I had to make one of my own.

Created out of a soft yellow cotton with a brown check, this easy-to-create dress is made unique with the three panels thatΒ hang down just below the hem. Β As always, I have included the pattern as well as the list of materials needed.

Pattern:

Materials:

  • 5 yards cotton for dress
  • 1/2 yard cotton for revers and belt/band.

Enjoy!
