[h-cost] 1920s

[Sylvia Rognstad]

While channel surfing for a couple minutes I cam upon a movie made in 
the 60s that took place in the 1920s.  Can't remember what is is, but 
it starred George Peppard and Elizabeth Ashley, among others.  The 
Carpetbaggers maybe?  Anyhow, I'm trying to figure out what is so wrong 
about the designer's attempt at 1920s women's clothing.  Obviously the 
hair, for starters, which looks like the 1960s bouffant.  The dress 
seems fairly 1920s and I realize that most women then were probably not 
built stick then to look like they do in all the renderings from the 
period.  Elizabeth Ashleiy is very well endowed and it's leading me to 
wonder what busty women wore for bras then and would have given them 
the support they needed.   The only bras I've seen from the 1920s are 
flimsy little silk things with no structure at all.  And what would you 
use on a busty actress today to help give her that proper 1920s look?
