And this is why I love the 1920's....
This one is darling! I've never had the figure to pull it off, though. Sigh.

Girdles, a shelf like bra with elastic, and slips all help a lot in getting the correct look. http://isabelladangelo.blogspot.com/2014/05/getting-to-wear-blue-and-white-1920s.html
DeleteThis is lovely. This dress has the same understructure (panniers) and bodice/skirt piping as the twenties dress I have...
