Men's casual clothing in the 1920s was not yet a clothing category. Upper-class men dressed in sportswear or dressed-down summer suits look quite formal in our modern eyes (dress shirt and tie required). The lower classes wore durable workwear everyday. Men's work class clothing would eventually inspire a range of casual clothing in the 1940s,

The 1920s and 1930s are mostly associated with flapper dresses and Hollywood glamour. During the daytime, dresses were still the primary outfits, but that doesn't mean they were the only thing women wore. I had a few readers ask what kinds of casual '20s clothing or '30s menswear-inspired looks they could wear that involved pants,

Reader Maria wrote to me asking about 1920s winter fashion that is warmer than the typical short "flapper" dresses. With the exception of thick wool and wool overcoats, 1920s clothing in the fall and winter wasn't very different than in the spring and summer. Colors changed to cooler tones such as black, navy blue, burnt
When World War One ended in 1918, people were obviously happy. So happy in fact that their collective euphoria ultimately influenced the fashion of the time. The era came to be defined by the emergence of vintage fashion, and as you can see from these pictures, it still looks awesome over 90 years later.

Where the name 1920s “flapper” comes from is not exactly clear. Some claim it has to do with the "flap flap" sound young girls' open galoshes made when they walked. Another theory is that flapper dates back from before World War I, when it originally meant prostitute but came to refer to any woman
Once housework was done, 1920s women would put away their house dress and apron and head out for the day. Running errands, visiting a neighbor, working in a factory or office, or going to town for a White Castle burger and matinée movie all required a woman to dress well yet still enjoy the comforts

To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html Once you’ve taken your measurements, please paste them into the “Note” box on the Order page. .~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. How to choose a STANDARD SIZE? I can make standard sizes S, M, L or XL with small adjustments to better fit you. Sizes are a tricky issue, and there aren’t any hard and fast rules, but I’d say my list of sizes is more European than American. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html The best way to know your size is to take some measurements of yourself and use them to gauge your size. I can also modify a pattern to better fit your measurements. For example: You choose size S (Europe 40-42). If your body is closer to the first number, 86 (Upper bust/Torax 86-88 cm), than the second, 88, please tell me. Otherwise, the pattern will be the standard size S of between 86-88 cm for the upper bust. .~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. All sizes, both standard and custom, can be modified to your liking (for example, waist higher or lower; skirt longer, shorter, wider, narrower, unpleated, etc.). A dress can be made as either one or two pieces—as a blouse and skirt, for instance. Please specify any of these alterations by email, or at the bottom of the form “Taking measurements”.
