@Frida B: I used to watch Ultimate Fashion History until I heard her throwing shade at other unnamed TH-camrs. She is NOT the be-all of fashion/era resources yet sometimes she comes across like it.
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 agree. Yes, there were beaded gowns in the 1920s, the hems of many trailed the floor and they were evening gowns. To me, the one-hour dress is iconic 1920s, there are so many photos of women wearing a version of that dress.
I agree! Those cliche dresses look so terrible! My friends are throwing a 20's theamed party for 150 people and I feel so terrified that everyone is going all shortblingblingdressys there. I feel like if they are actually going to spend a *poop*load of money on the party, I should try (as a gest) to actually wear something more like from that timeperiod.
SuperMrsMar I would often wonder the same thing. Then you look at the regular people behind the the main actors in the 1920’s movies. Especially if it was a street scene. There you would see the larger ladies, the breasted ones with broad shoulders, looking like a beautifully wrapped box...in fur. 😉
SuperMrsMar One would wear a “boyishform” minimizing bra, a corselette (early girdle that narrowed the hips), and a slip over all of that, to make sure the fabric of one’s dress didn’t cling to any unfashionable curves!
@@SuperMrsMar they just looked bad and didnt show up in the fashionable pictures. Don't people wear fashionnova now when their bodies aren't suited for it?
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.
Great video ! Very informative and correct! Cab you please tell me, how did you use those historical documentaries and photos from copyright point of view? I’m new to TH-cam and am trying to record a video now and don’t really understand how to go about things like that. Will really appreciate if you share your experience.
@@mariyakotova202 Hi, Mariya. I didn't make the video. I was just complimenting Karolina's hard work. This is something you'll have to research, though. In fact, you will be able to find the information you are looking for on TH-cam's website. It will be in an FAQ or something like that. Good luck!
My Grandpa, who is still alive currently was born in 1923. So for him at least the 20s are still within his lifetime memories. And he remembers his mother keeping spare corset bones to replace in the corsets she wore. He was trying to show interest in my corset making and I had one in progress and so could show him the bones I was using and he got this wonderful look on his face and said "Oh so that's what those were! I wondered why mother had those in her underwear drawer. I used to poke my brothers with them!". :) And then talked about how she used to take in other people's washing and mending to earn a bit more money as his dad wouldn't always give her her allowance (to spend on food and the kids and stuff) and would instead spend it on getting drunk. And she had 13 of her own kids to look (well one died young, so I guess 12) after plus some of the other 10 from my grandpa's dad's previous marriage. So yeah, used them to fix stuff for other people too.
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
I mean Lanvin has always had a pseudo 1920s to 1930s vibe in their modern clothes... a little bit of that usually in Prada as well. The thing is, real 1920s clothes were shapeless and would not be considering flattering to most modern women, which is why the 20s is bastardized. I highly doubt our 2020s will resemble anything like the 1920s...
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.
@@francisabernathy1587 Everything from that time is lost due to immigration for me. My grandparents didn't take anything from back then, and the stuff they wore was already sold before I was born, so with utter sadness, I feel you my dude.
Probably Karen who wants to wear her '1920s vintage dress flapper dress dancer skirt shirt robe for women' from Amazon on New Year's day for the 5th year in a row.
@@user-tv9rt5ud2s In the 1920s, the pressure was on larger women and larger breasted women to get the same boyish figure. There are magazine articles aimed at concealing the figure targetted to larger women, whilst those who were naturally smaller chested and more ruler shaped were praised and told they didn't need to change a thing. The message was that you could put away your shapewear and stuff, unless you were bigger of course, then you needed extra.
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!

Thank you Cathy! It’s pretty vague but I hope it can give people a basic idea 😬
I'm SO GLAD you're making a series about 1920s. I've been studying this decade for the past year amd a half for a project I'm doing and this really helps. I hope you will also include mens fashion because it is deceptively nuanced. Looking forward to the hair and makeup part because the PEOPLE MUST KNOW! 👏👏👏
@@DragonRebelRose same here- some of my 'friends' who preach body positivity and acceptance make fun of me for having small breasts. I think the fashion industry, in general, accepts plus size women but not skinnier women with small breasts. The hypocrisy smh
@@DragonRebelRose for real! As an 'A' cup women's shirts look like jokes on me, esp v-necks. I don't have boobs to fill them up so deep ones go down to my belly button 😂😭
Make a one-hour dress (fairly easy to draft; and, yes, it will take longer than an hour to make) and search thrift shops for a pair of blocky heels, ha ha.
My friend is writing a book set in the twenties, and I have told him about your videos. Aside from me picking up many fashion books, your videos on twenties fashion have been a godsend. And to be perfectly honest, you're making my journey through fashion easier than it had been. Just, thank you. You're the best, meme mum.
Oh, don't worry, they will. Fast fashion will milk those trends for all they're worth until we're all sick of looking at them. Of course they won't be historically accurate.
This is great.. would love to see also fashion from the 30's and 40's So struggling with winter wear from the 40's, mainly shoes for snow that will look nice with dresses/skirts
i really hope you plan on continuing this!! i love hearing about this decade, especially with how little resources i can find depicting it accurately :(
If you think people wouldn't watch an entire 5 hour video of you discussing 20's fashion i think you're underselling yourself. Loved this! Can't wait for more. Thank you.
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???
I think people should dress however they wish, fully accurate or only inspired! I hope everyone gets to express themselves freely with their clothes, hair and makeup, since it shouldn’t harm anyone!💚 I personally love more accurate looks, so I greatly appreciate this informative video!💛 Thank you so much for uploading for us!⭐️💛
Love this! Women's fashion often has a lot to cover and can be majorly confusing at times where one thing starts and another begins, so I love learning more about its broad strokes from someone who does their research. Can't find many good historical fashion channels that explain things so well and in so entertaining a way.
I love this this!

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !! I’m not as familiar with 20’s fashion as I am with their decades, this series is going to be great ! Can’t wait to see more
I know I am a bit late to this video but I adore it. I love the Art Deco era and it’s nice to see info thats not the stereotypical 20s. I hope this series continues. I couldn’t find more but I do hope it continues. This was so handy 💜💜💜
I can't wait for the evening/party wear episode so I can share it for all the 1920's themed new year parties this year before everyone shows up in fringe mini dresses, heels and a feather boa.
So excited for this series!! I love that you are doing focused videos vs talking about everything in the 1st half of the decade & then everything in the 2nd. Having a video about each individual aspect of a 20’s wardrobe, helps to ensure that one is wearing the correct undergarments, accessories, makeup, etc, for either a true vintage; or, a period accurate reproduction day or evening dress. The 20’s were one of the best decades to keep up with the changes in fashion (for the wealthy of course). I love the androgynous aspects & I hope we see much more of this style in clothing, & not just on the runway; but also in more accessible retailers. Already excited for the next "chapter"!! 💜🦋
Very good informative video I love that you don’t sound or come off as condescending in any way shape or form you just genuinely love the history of fashion can’t wait for more 😻
I want to thank you so much for the videos you make and I would LOVE for you to keep up this encyclopedia series going on!!!! I would love to see any era!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ love your videos, you are fantastic❤❤❤❤
I am writing my thesis on 20s female fashion in germany (more specifically Berlin) and this video was a lot of help! It was the perfect introduction and made it more easy to go deep in the detail of the era's fashion, instead of the more broad way a lot of other sources about the 20s mention it (short hair, baggy dress, etc). What i find the most interesting and striking is the way women's fashion became more "manly", as a direct reflection of the feministic spirit that rose during this era. Overall, there was a trend of the female clothing being more freeing and comfortable, which is a contrast to the complicated and time-consuming ways women would dress in the end of the 19th century. I am writing my thesis around the androgyny of the women's fashion that became a trend in the 1920s. Fascinating stuff!
Something interesting that I saw at my local H&M today, there seems to be a slight revival of the lowered waists, looser blouses and midi length skirts. Which was a nice take on a /slight/ 1920s revival, rather than just using fringe, feathers and the ever irritating gold and black LOL. Thanks for another awesome video Karolina, your channel has been keeping me going during the winter holidays!
Ohhh I got so excited when I saw you uploaded this!! You said in your first 1920s themed video that the 20s wasn't one of your favourite eras, but I've actually grown fond of it (even if I couldn't pull it off to save my life) precisely because of your videos. I specially find 1920s Germany fascinating. Thank you for the well documented and beautifully delivered video.
Really liked this! So much information done in a concise manner. So happy too, that you are doing a series. It brings back all of the styles I like, but sometimes I get into a rut in my fashion. This will get my sewing juices flowing again! Thank you.
I find this a very good guide on how to incorporate fashion details into your style. Awesome video! Looking forward to the rest of the series. It’s a very interesting decade
Karolina, perhaps you can shed light on this family mystery. My husband's grandmother was married (for the first time) in the mid 1920's. I have what I believe were her wedding shoes. The mystery was in reading her wedding announcement. She was from a somewhat prominent family in a suburb of St. Louis marrying into another prominent family from the area. It was a formal church wedding with bridesmaids and the like. The issue was her dress. It was dark brown velvet with her bridesmaids wearing lighter brown velvet dresses. The shoes I have are dark brown with gold metal trim. Have you ever heard of other than white being popular for wedding dresses during this era? No one from her generation is alive to give an explanation.
Looking forward to that lingerie episode! Your comment about larger busts needing different types of undergarments to achieve the fashionable look really got me interested in learning more about plus size womens fashion throughout history and whether it deferred from the mainstream.
This is fantastic. I love the 20's decade, including its fashion and art, and it really makes me mad when people dress up with short dresses and high heels and pretend its 20's fashion. This is so good and informative!! Thank you so much :)

Today's Hollywood films are much to blame for the false perception we have about what fashion was really like during this period.
Also the cheap versions of 20s clothing look so bad it is just painful if you try on the items

1920's fashion: boy-ish figure

I can't wait for the evening/party wear episode so I can share it for all the 1920's themed new year parties this year before everyone shows up in fringe mini dresses, heels and a feather boa.
So excited for this series!! I love that you are doing focused videos vs talking about everything in the 1st half of the decade & then everything in the 2nd. Having a video about each individual aspect of a 20’s wardrobe, helps to ensure that one is wearing the correct undergarments, accessories, makeup, etc, for either a true vintage; or, a period accurate reproduction day or evening dress. The 20’s were one of the best decades to keep up with the changes in fashion (for the wealthy of course). I love the androgynous aspects & I hope we see much more of this style in clothing, & not just on the runway; but also in more accessible retailers. Already excited for the next "chapter"!! 💜🦋
Very good informative video I love that you don’t sound or come off as condescending in any way shape or form you just genuinely love the history of fashion can’t wait for more 😻
Meme mom, this is amazing!! I will religiously watch all episodes of this series
I think the 1920's silhouette is rather unflattering, but then again, 2020's fashion so far is pajamas, so I guess the 1920's had it going on. 🧐
Everything in me is watching this and screaming, “Yes! Yes! YESSSSSSSS!!!”
Thank you so much! 20s are my favorite facion period in XX st. It's so cool that you decided to make special videos about these times!
Dresses, furs, and lower heels, I’m all for! Cloche hats-haven’t found one that I find flattering on me. Love this series!
I want to thank you so much for the videos you make and I would LOVE for you to keep up this encyclopedia series going on!!!! I would love to see any era!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ love your videos, you are fantastic❤❤❤❤
Im loving this series. Please cover more decades too.
I am writing my thesis on 20s female fashion in germany (more specifically Berlin) and this video was a lot of help! It was the perfect introduction and made it more easy to go deep in the detail of the era's fashion, instead of the more broad way a lot of other sources about the 20s mention it (short hair, baggy dress, etc). What i find the most interesting and striking is the way women's fashion became more "manly", as a direct reflection of the feministic spirit that rose during this era. Overall, there was a trend of the female clothing being more freeing and comfortable, which is a contrast to the complicated and time-consuming ways women would dress in the end of the 19th century. I am writing my thesis around the androgyny of the women's fashion that became a trend in the 1920s. Fascinating stuff!
Something interesting that I saw at my local H&M today, there seems to be a slight revival of the lowered waists, looser blouses and midi length skirts. Which was a nice take on a /slight/ 1920s revival, rather than just using fringe, feathers and the ever irritating gold and black LOL. Thanks for another awesome video Karolina, your channel has been keeping me going during the winter holidays!
Ohhh I got so excited when I saw you uploaded this!! You said in your first 1920s themed video that the 20s wasn't one of your favourite eras, but I've actually grown fond of it (even if I couldn't pull it off to save my life) precisely because of your videos. I specially find 1920s Germany fascinating. Thank you for the well documented and beautifully delivered video.
I love this.
I love learning things and being entertained at the same time.
10/10 can't wait for future episodes. :D 🖤
If this was every decade from 1500 I would watch every single one! Loved this xx
Yes! i’ve been needing some videos like this for a while now, thank you!!
Is there a part 2? I couldn't find it on your channel unfortunately :(
Really liked this! So much information done in a concise manner. So happy too, that you are doing a series. It brings back all of the styles I like, but sometimes I get into a rut in my fashion. This will get my sewing juices flowing again! Thank you.
I find this a very good guide on how to incorporate fashion details into your style. Awesome video! Looking forward to the rest of the series. It’s a very interesting decade
Thank you so much for making a true 20s history video 😭 its so difficult to find references for early, mid and late 20s fashion. Thank u!!
I am soooooooo excited that you're doing this as a series, the 20's are my favorite fashion decade. I'm always excited to see and learn more!
being absolutely excited about this, only to find out it’s nearly two years old and the only part of the series
This needs to be show to every "Fashion Guru" Next year.
Love all the period-original fashion plates and images!
This is the culture work internet is needing! Thank you.
Karolina, perhaps you can shed light on this family mystery. My husband's grandmother was married (for the first time) in the mid 1920's. I have what I believe were her wedding shoes. The mystery was in reading her wedding announcement. She was from a somewhat prominent family in a suburb of St. Louis marrying into another prominent family from the area. It was a formal church wedding with bridesmaids and the like. The issue was her dress. It was dark brown velvet with her bridesmaids wearing lighter brown velvet dresses. The shoes I have are dark brown with gold metal trim.
Have you ever heard of other than white being popular for wedding dresses during this era? No one from her generation is alive to give an explanation.
Ah the time when „beach“ and „pyjamas“ were perfectly fine together. Waiting for that comeback soon!
1920s: flat chested
me: finally a place i feel accepted :’)
Who else is really excited about the 20s coming back into fashion!!
Now whose ready to scream at all the inaccuracies!!
I'm waiting for the next episode months agoooooo!! I love this so far
5 hour video, yes please😭
Looking forward to that lingerie episode! Your comment about larger busts needing different types of undergarments to achieve the fashionable look really got me interested in learning more about plus size womens fashion throughout history and whether it deferred from the mainstream.
I love the 20s, from the fashion, music, movies..💜
This is fantastic. I love the 20's decade, including its fashion and art, and it really makes me mad when people dress up with short dresses and high heels and pretend its 20's fashion. This is so good and informative!! Thank you so much :)
Thanks so much for this! I plan on writing a mystery series set in the 1920s and this will help a lot in getting the clothing right.
