Umm... this looks closer to 1930s, perhaps late `30s. Jessica Lange's gown is closer to 1890s-1910 but they aren't commenting on her dress and calling it a flapper dress. 1930 example http://www.vintagetextile.com/new_page_154.htm http://www.antiquedress.com/item6604.htm http://www.antiquedress.com/item6166.htm comparisson for Lange's gown http://www.antiquedress.com/item4597.htm -Original Message- Wow, this is one of the very very few celebrity retro-wannabe dresses I've ever liked: http://snipurl.com/fy932 -E House ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Yeah...it has no flapper influences except maybe beading on a sheerand 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 h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] 20s-ish dress was: Peacock Wedding Dress
Well, yeah. I was more quoting the article than dating the gown--the movie it was inspired by(? or a costume from?) is supposed to be 1920s. Either way, it doesn't look like it's supposed to be a repro to me--it looks inspired by. I do see that silhouette in films of the very late 20s, though. This dress could probably pass as '29 or even high fashion '28 to my eye, which admittedly hasn't been trained through actual serious study of the period, but rather through my fascination with silent movies. =} -E PS--there are ever so many silent film clips on YouTube ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
