What sort of clothing style and accesories did they wear in the 1920s?
i am going to a 1920s fancy dress murder mystery for my works christmas do, but im not sure what they wore then, anyone have any idea?
Answers:
Clothing:
Dresses were knee-length and straight line. The silhouette tended to be rather boyish with little to no emphasis on curves or bust. They actually went out of their way to play down the hourglass figure (women had just thrown away the corset not long before then). Necklines were often plunging and dresses were embellished with beads or sequins. The fringe dress is a staple for 1920's style facy dress.
Accessories:
Long pearl necklaces and lavaliers the longer, the better.
Rolled stockings & rouged knees
Cloche (bell-shaped) hats
Scarves tied around the head
"Headache" bands (large, jeweled headbands)
Feather boas, and feathered hair clips/headbands
Make-up:
Do a Google image search for pics of famous actresses of the time. Louise Brooks and Clara Bow are good 1920's fashion icons to start with. (Louise is particularly fabulous!)
If you have time to look for a book I would recommend looking at the work of John Peacock.
they wore sacks. whatever it looked like sacks.
I've had a look at a couple of sites and the fashion apperas to be similar to the style the kids wear in Bugsy Malone
below is a web address for you.
Cloche hats, knee length shift dresses, sometimes with a sash worn around the hip (think flapper girl!). You really need some visual resources - I'd suggest a trip to the library to look at the history of fashion - Vogue do a wonderful series of reference books about fashion through the 20th century - I'm sure you'd find something there.
here ya go..
a link to the world of the roaring twenties..
have fun at your party!

All people wore the same. More smartly dressed than people are today but it looks like there wasnt much choice of clothing
They wore unfitted straight cut dresses ending just above the knee, sometimes with a beaded fringe. Also a flamboyent feather in the hair.
long (mid - calf length) straight 'no waist' dresses with little skull cap bonnet hats, often crochet, and long strands of beads/pearls and small handbags. Short hair had just become fashionable so you could cut your hair and the most rebellious women rode motor bikes and smoked cigarettes - but it was very unusual! Think simple stylish chick and long silver cigarette holders - sort of Jeeves and Wooster era, I think
I would say they wore 1940's type clothing, or perhaps flares and platform soles.
Watch the Chicago movie..And you'll get an idea about the clothes worn in that period..
