1920s: The era of Art Deco, of Surrealism, of prohibition, of motorcars, and telephones being available for the middle class. In 1920 women gain the right to vote. African Americans push for equality and began to garner fame in film, business, music and literature. England and America is blossoming after World War 1, with booming industry and inventions. While other European countries suffer lack and unemployment. Radical political changes are born. In 1922 Mussolini creates the first fascist government. In 1923 the tomb of Tutankhamun is opened by Howard Carter, and baseball star Babe Ruth hits another home run to the delight of his fans. The “celebrity” is born thanks to mass media coverage, new improved motion picture houses, radios, and phonographs. Charlie Chaplin, Lilian Gish, Clara Bow, Rudolph Valentino, Mary Pickford, Louise Brooks and more grace the silver screen grabbing the affection, laughs and interest of the public. Record play out the music of Rudy Vallee, Paul Whiteman, Jelly Roll Morton and Bessie Smith. Literature is published at fantastic rate from authors like Fitzgerald, Hemingway and D.H. Laurence. In 1928 a man named Walt Disney introduced to the world to a little mouse name Mickey, and 1929 saw the first films with a completely African American cast.
While there is still a great interest in the 1920s, I have found that today's view of the era has degraded into something very different from the original. The perception of 1920s fashion is easily one of the most stereotyped and misunderstood out of all fashion eras. Women are often portrayed wearing a generic clothing with no period tailoring or subtle detailing. Some come close, while many are just completely and horrendously wrong. Most of this degradation can be accredited to people watching films that take artistic liberties because filmmakers think that the audience will not relate to accurate costumes or they just don't bother doing research at all. Also to blame is Halloween costumes which are usually as inexpensive as possible and again cater to the modern taste, and then there are celebrities, who do not care about historic accuracy but just want to look sexy or edgy. Thus this odd and tasteless image of the 1920s is born. In this video we will sweep away these layers of misinformation to reveal the true craftsmanship and beauty of 1920s fashion for women

If you could make an illustrated book about what people really wore in the 1920s, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Thank you! 😄
Fantastic!! I was a little worried when I saw this was about undergarments and swimsuits, but you showed everything in such a wonderfully modest fashion!! 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed! Yes, I try to keep things family friendly here 😊 Thanks for watching!
@@uniquelymadison It is highly appreciated! This series deserves to be seen so much more than it already has!! 👏👏
Kudos on the selection of imagery for this. I especially appreciate the ethnic diversity! Great job overall.
I'm glad you enjoyed. 😊 Thanks for watching!
I was looking forward to this one, and you didn’t disappoint, Madison. It’s a wonderful addition to your series! I can’t imagine the work, and time involved. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you dear Cindy!! Yes, it took over two months to put together 😅 But I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed. 🖤
@@uniquelymadison ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well done, Madison! As you may recall, I am producing an animated film set in 1926. Finding accurate clothing for my characters has been almost impossible, but I’ve been doing my best. There is a scene in the film where ladies’ underwear could be seen, and I hadn’t researched the topic yet. Thank you for your efforts to produce this video! 👏👏👏🌸
Glad I could help. And thank you for the support. :)
Your fashion documentaries are so enjoyable, Madison! I had never heard about the knee painting at 12:59 before. How did that start?
Thank you so much!! I found the knee painting thing fascinating too, but I could not find much info on how it started. It did seem to be connected to dating culture, since many would choose a picture of their boyfriend. So that is certainly part of the reason. 😀
@@uniquelymadison That is fascinating! Sometimes it's more interesting when no one knows exactly how a historical trend started.
The delicacy of lingerie ornamentation is just lovely.
Your research for this video is meticulous!
I was also so fascinated by the beautiful lingerie. It was so fun, yet still dainty and delicate.
Thank you for watching!😊
Dear Madison, Thank you for a most wonderfully researched, thorough, educational, and fascinating video. I can see similarities in current styles. I definitely remember stretchy girdles with garters or garter belts to hold up our nylon stockings when I was in 8th grade (when I was allowed to wear them) and having to adjust them. Pantyhose didn’t become popular until the mid-60’s. if I remember correctly.
Hi! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, I have always found it fascinating how styles go in and out and back into fashion. Also I have heard how fussy garter belts were. Pantyhose must have been a relief for many. 😄
Thank you very much for watching!
Dear Madison,
I finally got to watch this fantastic latest installment tonight! All of your hardwork definitely paid off! Your attention to detail is always amazing!
As a side note, my great grandmother who was born in 1900 in Ohio, mentioned that she absolutely hated the woolen underwear they had to wear as it was extremely “scratchy and itchy”. Also, according to the few photographs we have of her and her sisters from the 1920s, they still dressed extremely modestly and I can’t help but wonder if typical flapper fashion was more common in the big cities?
Thank you again for continuing to share your expertise with us! Sending a big hug! 💕🙏🏻
Hi Carolyn!!
I hope you are doing well! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your great-grandmother's first hand experience of the 20's.Yes, I have noticed that styles seemed to be more conservative and slower to change in more rural areas, and I can only imagine how uncomfortable the wool undies have been. 😬
Sending lots of love and hugs to you! 😊🖤
Thanks!
I adore your Fashion Archaeology series. Absolutely wonderful!! Thank you so much for your hard work and effort. This is such a useful and entertaining episode. Thank you so much!
I'm so happy to hear you enjoy my Fashion Archaeology series, Jamie! Thank you for your kind words and support! Your generous donation made my day. 😊
@@uniquelymadison It's just a little thought. Wish I could send more. Thanks again for your wonderful videos!!
I love this series so much :)
I'm glad!! Thanks for watching. :)
Thank you for that precious collection of lingerie of the 20s. ❤Very interesting from a historical point of view. I am not convinced that it could be re-introduced in fashion because of change of health.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks so much for watching! :)
I don't think it will be re-introduced either. But I'm curious why you think so for health reasons?
With all the crime in the 1920s, you'd think that cities would have better uses for their police than patrolling the beaches with measuring tapes. 🤔
😂
Maybe that's why crime increased,;the cops were on the beaches!
@@annbrookens945 That almost seems like it could've been a cartoon from the time...a policeman on the beach with a measuring tape, while a masked robber is tiptoeing in the background.
@@storiesbydarian 😆
@@annbrookens945 🤔 Hmmm, maybe!
I'd love a video where you pick apart bad flapper costumes & show what they'd look like if they were more accurate.
That is a fun idea! I will definitely keep it in mind for the future. :)
"Come on babe, why don't we paint the town?
And all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down
And all that jazz..."
Isn't that from Glee? 😄
@@IanMichael-pj7fz The movie “Chicago"
@@Lainers2000 Oh thank you! I didn't know it was first from a movie.🙂 Is it worth a watch?
@@IanMichael-pj7fz I saw it on the big screen it’s a musical and thought it was quite good. It won 6 Academy Awards. There is also a movie entitled “All that Jazz” sort of the life of Bob Fosse, a famous choreographer, which I really enjoyed. Can’t remember if they use the song in the movie, however.
@@Lainers2000 Thank you so much!! I will be sure to watch both of those
