Umm... this looks closer to 1930s, perhaps late `30s. **************** Yeah...it has no "flapper" influences except maybe beading on a sheer....and many periods have that. The cut, shape and style is 1930s. Of course "flapper" is a lousy term anyway. Reminds me of a picture and paragraph in some Fashion section making fun of a look with a huge wide brimmed hat, full bottomed wig and breeches as "Noblis Oh Please!"... and being 16th century! Full bottomed wigs in the 16th century? It's hard to make fun of something when you can't even get the century right yourself. They probably meant 1600's (late) but of course that is the 17th century. It's like the review of "Dangerous Liaisons" that kept talking about the Renaissance! I once read a review around 1998 that said the film "The Heiress" took place "at the turn of the century." They get a mild pass because the film opens with the title "100 years ago". But the reviewer forgot the film was made in the 1940's and apparently didn't notice Morris went off to the CA Gold Rush. **************Great deals on Dell’s most popular laptops – Starting at $479 (http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100126575x1220631252x1201390195/aol?redir=http:%2F%2Fad.doubleclick.net%2Fclk%3B213968550%3B35701427%3Bh) _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
