Making and Styling a 1920's Cotton Dress // Twenties Styling Challenges

Black Lives Matter. Resources on how you can help: blacklivesmatt...
I have been wanting to make more 1920's style pieces for day-wear, but seem to run into styling challenges trying to get the look in 2020. This week I make a dress and then try to style it, but also go over what 1920's style day-wear looks...well, actually looked like, and what my areas of opportunity are in styling looks for the new tumultuous twenties.

Loved all thee source images! I have never seen them. In the dawn of time in my first retail job I sold ladies silk stockings in the 80’s. And I will mention that they really did come in all conceivable skin tones you can imagine. Putting them back so all the shades were perfectly in place from light to dark and warm to cool was my first lesson. If you do make a silk slip, please go the whole nine yards and make a garter belt for that real 20’s flavor! The store sold those too. You haven’t lived until you have tried to measure a tiny 90 year old lady for a girdle. Boy howdy did she school me properly on what to do! I thanked her humbly for the information as I had been thrown into the ‘intimate apparel’ department with no training. Stockings were down with accessories on the main floor. And I did spend a lot of my time matching stockings EXACTLY to handbags and shoes. The names were fun: camel, fawn, cinnamon, clove etc. I had to wear special gloves after unlocking the case that held them. Our rough hands could ‘catch’ the silk.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

If only it was as easy to get a hold of them now! Though in general if I could go back back back in time, I'd love to go to a department store in the 40's (or 50's, or 20's or 1915...) and just wander around for a few hours...even if I couldn't buy anything, I'd just love to see it all!

[@abcarlson80]

I liked this format: sewing, inspiration, images, styling.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

ME TOO!

Hello I like both the sewing and styling together.

Me too

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! More to come then!

[@katjas9150]

I'm definitely into this format, because it has a nice mixture of sewing, styling and diving into historical details.

[@lizhumble9953]

I don’t even know if I would have noticed it two months ago, but today I did. Thank you for including diverse women in your photos from this era. It was very nice to see.

[@chaeburger]

I can't tell you how much I love the research section of this video!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Chae! I'll try and do it some more then :)

Hi, Bianca! Wait wait wait ... You actually walk around a paved garden? *Hands you Sportswoman of the Year award*😘

I know it's hard to believe, I even had to avoid a few puddles in the path ;)

[@averyt9600]

This turned out fabulously as always! As lovely and stunning as 20’s evening wear is, it’s exciting to see a more casual look from the decade.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Avery!

[@nancymandle5215]

Loved the entire video - sewing, styling, etc. Of particular interest was the segment on period photos with your very helpful focus on design elements typical of the era. I always learn so much from your videos!!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Nancy!

[@corasgrove3474]

Thanks for this video. It is hard to find videos of people sewing 1920s, so I am always happy to see more!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thanks! More to come in the future for sure!

[@RobinT346]

I love this video. I'm working on a 1920s one-hour-dress (several days dress as I'm hand sewing it all!) and want to add several more pieces to my wardrobe so seeign different variations and styling is great. I've decided I want to do 1920s but with more of a neo-goth modern twist. I fully intend on wearing my dresses with doc martens.

[@strangeamanda7470]

Interesting you should say that, I am trying to do 1920’s inspired goth twist outfits too. I am working on my dresses and headwear at the moment.

[@bl00dhoney]

Appreciate the diversity in the source photos

[@SewFastDyeYoung]

There are some simple cloche hat patterns out there and it's actually pretty easy to cut down the brim on a felt or straw hat and rebind it with bias or ribbon. Use some steam to reshape it with the fold or dip and add some embellishments. Could be a fun project to get creative with...

[@margot6845]

I liked this format, and I love 20s daywear! It definitely doesn't get enough love. Also, you can find sewing patterns on etsy to make your own 20s style cloche hats. The seller I bought one from was called Elsewhen Millinery and it was remarkably easy even though I'd never made a hat before.

[@lovemyferals]

I love the 1920's style, it's so versatile depending on the accessories. Your talking about the cloche hats reminds me of the I Love Lucy episode where they are in Paris and she wants a couture outfit so Ricky & Fred put together dresses made of burlap/feed bags and the cloche-style hats were made from a feed bag a horse would wear on his face. Since I love horses, I got such a kick from that outfit🤣🤣🤣 I hope someday you find a hat you love! By the way, I enjoy the sewing and the styling. Without the sewing for context, it's more like a costume show, at least for me🙂

[@zencat55]

If you know someone that knits I bet you can felt your own cloche. There are patterns and instructions. We used to make and felt purses all the time. I don't know if you've tried Etsy for a cloche hat but they range from about $50 on up. They're really beautiful.

[@janatherton9194]

Lacis has a few books on beaded handbags from the 1920's if you have a bead loom, or you can crochet, they also sell a larger bead loom designed for making purses.

[@sharonrussell7933]

I also loved the format for this. Can't wait to make that dress. I love berets so much and wear them when it isn't too warm. I have the wool ones, but decided I needed to make my own because of my love for them. I made my own pattern (not really difficult) and have quite a few already. Looking forward to fall and cooler temps.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Sharon!

[@annlidslot8212]

Hi, Creating nice garments and then show how they would have been worn is great. To see how you want to wear them...icing on the cake. And anything with a hat is a winner with me. I have a very small head, and the other day I found a promising site for everyday sunhats. Then for sizing I had to look at the larger sizes kids hats. Not great if you are in the mood for a Panama made out of Toquilla. Thank you for a very pleasant half hour. Yours, Ann

[@draughtoflethe]

I encourage you not to worry too much about being repetitive, partly because it makes the information available to people who might have missed previous videos, and partly because repetition is useful for learning. I personally find that my understanding of a subject or technique becomes greatly improved by watching three or four different costubers go over the same subject, or having the same technique come up and be reviewed in multiple videos by the same person. That's my personal take, at any rate.

[@tamiajackson]

Thank you Tamia!

@@TheClosetHistorian Most welcome pookie🥰🥰🥰

[@dorothygriffiths6626]

What a gorgeous dress, I guess it was the era of the flapper so women starting to kick back on formality. Shorter dresses and hair, women were looking for equality. The end of World War heralded a lot of change for women and this lovely dress you made was part of that revolution. I love your photos. Hope you are all ok, sending much love and fondest wishes from the U.K. xxxxxx Dorothy

[@Eirashands]

I really liked that you showed the inspiration photos and commented and shared your thoughts on them before the styling of the outfit :) and i always enjoy the sewing part.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Eira!

[@marnaschoeman7794]

Loved it, as usual. There are people in the US who do "modern" felted/velted (???) hats and I'm sure they would be able to replicate a 20's hat. I'll go look for a link. They're on my crafts FB groups.

[@ave2677]

It was so interesting to see the reasoning behind your styling! I definitely have a similar motto of first being familiar with the actual historical fashions and knowingly changing things - it makes things always so much more interesting! And I definitely feel your struggle with the lack of options with 20s style accessories ❤

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Ave!

[@minad6224]

Really enjoyed this video with the sewing and styling of the pieces. But then I really enjoy all your videos LOL!!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Mina!

[@elainebye9090]

I like both sewing and styling. I get some inspo from your sewing every time.

[@janeodee1677]

maybe tulip sleeves, or flutter sleeve could help? lovely dress!

[@PolyvoreThea]

Oh yes do a flutter sleeve please!!

[@swisslions]

I would love your take on Madeleine Vionnet dresses. She is my favorite designer..

[@grottoserpentina9342]

I agree with you. Must admit, I didn't know who she was. What style! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@petapendlebury9024]

Lovely video. I have my grans photo album from her time at university in the late 20s and I love looking at it. She went to Oxford so there's even photos of her punting on the river. Quite often hatless and gloveless!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Peta!

[@tinajohnston8139]

I liked the styling focus of the video. I also really enjoyed the 1920s pictures and your analysis of them. I think that’s a good way to make a video about a garment that’s a variation on something you’ve shown in more detail before. I do enjoy seeing variations on a theme, because it always gives me ideas for how I can use materials from my own stash to make new styles based on patterns that are already working for me. I think it would be a good idea to link videos in the description that show more detail about how to make the garment you’re styling. I didn’t see that in this video description, so apologies if it was there and I missed it (I know which videos those are, but others may not).

[@katefromantikanueva4629]

Ever since your first long video on this, I've made.... I think it's 4 now? One-hour dresses. They are the BEST for loose comfortable dresses in the summer.

[@anastasiarose9003]

I really enjoyed learning more about the actual styling of the clothes you make as well as the historical photos and information for the era. I think that you can make updated video's of something like the 1 hour dress pattern when you cant, but otherwise I would fast forward them and suggest watching the original videos of how to make patterns. I like to watch you sew and style. Very inspiring. Thank you!!! I have been watching your 1920s pattern making etc. because I want to make a nightgown based on one, and it isn't easy to find a pattern that fits that isn't outrageously expensive and that I would have to adjust anyway.

[@hallowhyena]

there are a few sewing patterns for cloche hats. in fact, i found some crochet patterns and made myself a cloche hat. it's black and it has a small brim. also, i can tie any color ribbon around it.

[@amb163]

This turned out really well! If you need a cloche, I make them -- just ask! I use the wet-felting process on my wool knitted hats.

[@dianavoermans]

For me this format was wonderful: sewing and styling and a glimpse of the world back then. Loved it! 🤩 💃🏻

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Diana!

[@artheaded1]

I love the idea of the One Hour Dress, (my version would take 2 or 3 days) May I suggest - Along with shorter sleeves, more fabric in the skirt and a softer fabric that drapes closer to the body.

[@elinasalonen]

I absolutely love it when you analyze the styles in old photos. Please do that more!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Elina!

[@janeunion8748]

Great video, as always. I, for one, don’t mind seeing some repetition and/or similar garments. They say when learning a foreign language you need to be exposed to new vocabulary a certain number of times before you can retain it. I’m sure it’s the same with sewing and patterning technique. I love the videos all the time, but during quarantine they are an even bigger highlight. Thanks for keeping our spirits up!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Jane!

[@trudicole3520]

Both styling and sewing thanks Bianca

[@BeverleyButterfly]

Loved this video as always the sewing was lovely but I loved the added but of going through how you could style it with old pictures that was wonderful

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Beverley!

[@bohemiansusan2897]

I'd love too ala Chanel inspired suit be done. As her jackets were largely made from jersey, it was unstructured. So what's left to do would be a blouse and skirt. There are quite a few cloche hat patterns out there to sew... I myself just do a beret. I find that even a very light support stockings or hose give a silk like sheen for reproduction effect... I plan on doing similar dresses in black eyelet and and a medium-dark beige rayon silky type fabric.

[@seriouslyinsanediva]

perfect dress for this heat!

[@fayewhite-willinger8068]

I’ve made my own cloche hat. I love it and have fashioned with the brim up and down to shade my eyes. I found a pattern on Etsy. I think a low belt would help in your styling this would help too. I just wore my 1920’s dress (using your video to make it). It’s made of rose linen with off white rickrack trim. I love it

[@Sew_Learning]

Yes please! I loved this format - very helpful. I also learn so much from watching you sew too. Thank you, Bianca! Warm regards from Down Under🇦🇺❤️👗✂️📍🌸😎

I loved going through your source images with you! Whether you're sewing the piece beforehand or going right to the styling, I'd be happy to see more of that! I think that research is so individual which makes it really fun to see someone else's: which images you picked, which trends you're picking up on from your selection. Plus, then seeing that in action, I really liked the jade accessories you pulled together after knowing a beret could be period appropriate. ;) Just... such a fun segment!

So glad you did another variation on the 20s day dress. I had a cotton dress for years that mom and I made up from an original pattern. She was not happy with the slash and gather method on the skirt... found it so untidy, but I see from watching examples that it was common and not really that hard to finish once you excepted that method. I've also looked for a cloche and have decided it would be fun to make one. What do you think? Would you attempt to make a cloche? I'd love to see that too. Thanks for sharing your sewing and styling. It's always fun to see what you're up to. Cheers!

[@gothdad94]

i, for one, am enjoying your ventures into 1920s styling/sewing and am excited for where it will take you! crossing my fingers that you (and, well, i too!!) will finally find an original cloche hat from that period. they sure are hard to come by :(

Love this dress Bianca.... Gosh, you suit all types of styles from all eras! The dress looks fab on you & perfect for ‘Mint Juleps’ in the garden🍹🌱 Very interesting to learn about the accessories that a modern gal in the twenties would wear, like the chunky bracelet, very surprised to learn that snippet doll! Thanks for sharing gorgeous! ❤️💋

Thank you Jo!

[@eiszapfenkobold]

I love the added reference explanations! (The one with the church door seems to be shot after sunday service) Watching this, altering a 1920s cotton one hour dress style chemise(just taking it in a bit)

[@maryblaylock6545]

The bracelets were usually made of bakelite, a type of plastic. They are collector's items now. I haven't had any experience with 1920's hats. I was thinking of either costume rental places so you could study a hat or if you are near a large city with theatres, the costume department might be able to share info with you. A person familiar with costume design and costume depts is Bernadette Banner. She used to work in that industry. Good luck on your hunt!

[@navahx9406]

Thank you for showing the neckline and pleats in such detail! Especially how you pin. I'm going to try that neckline on a rayon dress I'm working on. Maybe I'll do the art deco thing you described. Your sewing videos always show me the parts I need in detail while trusting me to do the repetitive parts on my own. The way you edit is perfect for intermediate sewists like myself, who also sew from inspiration images sans pattern. I like sewing + styling in the same video. Maybe provide timestamps if you continue this format, for viewers that don't sew? Finally, don't worry about repeating yourself. So many successful, compelling instructional KZbinrs repeat themselves between videos. It helps their viewership coalesce, in my opinion. Remember that YOU know so much more than the vast majority of viewers. So to a viewer, repeated info isn't intrusive or annoying, it's helpful. Plus, not everyone sees every video!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Navah! I know personally I learn from repetition, but I just worry I'll annoy people, so thank you!

[@rebeccagose]

I like them both!!

[@flyingpanda3997]

I'll watch anything you do tbh. I'm sure you know this but there are cloche hat patterns that can be made from woven fabrics available on Etsy. The making of said hat could also make interesting content too.

[@hjelsea]

I enjoyed this sewing + styling video! It was also nice to see your thoughts on what you would do to up the ante regarding your styling of the dress. Regarding the cloche hat, I have seen some “make it yourself” kinds of pattern diagrams floating around that seem to be from the twenties, perhaps you could try that if you can’t find one to your liking? Though if I remember, they were all made from felt, so probably not great for summer wear.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Alison! I tend to prefer blocked hats to sewn ones, and have taken lessons on how to make them , but the hat blocks (wood forms the hats are shaped on) are expensive so I've never invested in a cloche one I'm afraid!

[@UnderOrange]

Yay more 20's stuff! I definitely have a soft spot for this decade, and I am a proud owner of a cloche hat (though I feel bad, I haven't gotten to wear it much in recent years because of my longer hair). As for being repetitive: honestly it doesn't bug me one bit. The kinds of videos I like best are repetitive by nature, since there's only so many ways you can make a thing (be it a garment, resin, or soap, lol). I like seeing the process anyway, and hearing why you made the choices you did. I really liked the bit at the end where you talked about your references and stuff, I think that's a great addition to this kind of video. Anyway, thanks for uploading ❤️ Seeing what you're up to inspires me to make stuff, and I couldn't ask for more.

[@peggyr9623]

I liked this video alot. Have you tried googling 'cloche hats for sale'? I saw one recently on the tv, so it may be making a comeback. My Mother wore silk stockings regularly and she was born in 1923. During WWII, they became very scarce and the seaming up the back went away. She and her sisters would use eyebrow pencil and draw the seam onto their legs and then put on the silk stockings. She said they had to be so careful to never cross their legs as that would smear the lines on the backs of their legs! Thanks for the video!

well done, as usual! i have some modern straw cloche hats that work quite well with my 20s & 30s outfits. i believe all were found with "straw cloche hat" searching on google images. a lot of scrolling took place, but it was worth it. i hope you find some you like! i only have one wool cloche that a friend made by altering a too-large beret.

[@RavenStealstheNight]

I love the 1920-30's hats and you're so right, it's almost impossible to find them.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

I can be quite picky too, so that makes it a challenge for sure!

[@junepeasgood1907]

Hello Bianca - you were originally going to make this with multiple pleats, which I absolutely love the look of, so watched with interest and then you only made one box pleat , would the other pleats have also been box pleats? If not could you do an update to describe how you would have made the multiple pleat version please, please, pretty please. I am a novice sewer and your videos are very informative (yes, sometimes confusing) yet still informative. So would adding more pleats just be a matter of adding more side trim to the skirt level and evening out the pleats on each side - or are the pleats different to a box pleat - in which case I would love to know how to make them as I can't visualise it in my head. Thank you soooo much for your efforts for all the 'ladies with busts' who love the 1920s.

[@jennieeveleighlamond]

There are many lovely, close fitting cloche knitting patterns on Ravelry. I've made many for myself and my daughter and there are some that I could recommend to you.
