February Art Deco festival

I thought I’d write a post for people like me who want the clothes but whose budget is restricted. Just lately, I’ve had some great finds in the many op shops we are lucky to have here. I have made an outfit of a tea dress, clutch bag and a summer hat for a mere $16. This outfit is suitable for daywear and especially the Gatsby Picnic.

This post is just my opinion so do also look at the books in the library or google for inspiration. You may also like to visit Charleston Chic (Masonic Building on Tennyson Street) and Decorum (Herschell Street, across the road from the library. Both shops have layby.

Do not be put off by 1930s fashion images, not many of us could look like this. Waists are normally around the middle of the body, not one third of the way down as in the images. Women were shorter than now too. I find the 1930s look easier to assemble and is far more flattering to most than the dropped waist 1920s look. You may even find that you have a lot of things in your wardrobe and drawers already. Start with a dress. Most colours were fashionable except black or pink. The hemline should be closer to your ankles than your knees. Necklines were round, square and v, with and without collars. Only evening dresses were sleeveless. Belts were usually worn.

My next post will be about accessories.
