Roaring Twenties

I really like the boyish look of the 1920's, although there was not a  lot of emphasis on body shape it had it's own kind of charm. The waistline if any, was located somewhere around the hips. The confining corset was discarded, replaced by a chemise or camisole and bloomers which was later shortened to panties or knickers and during the mid-twenties all-in-one lingerie became popular. My favourite - the short hairstyles such as the Bob cut, Eton Crop and the Marcel Wave became popular. Thanks for taking the time to visit - my entry for the 1920's challenge at Three Muses.

Touched by colour

A hodgepodge of a few things I really like - 1920's fashion, bold colours, french ephemera and feathered creatures. Her hairdo was known as the Marcel wave - a stylish wave given to the hair by means of a heated curling iron. Named after Francois Marcel, a 19th century French hairdresser who invented the process in 1872. It revolutionized the art of hairdressing all over the world and remained in vogue for over fifty years, no doubt making a fortune for monsieur Marcel!
