Vintage Find - 1920s Avant Garde Coat
I'm yearning for change - change in administration, change in weather, and of course this all reflects on my wardrobe. This week's Vintage Find is a perfect example of how change in society affects fashion history.
The 1920s brought change in society, economy and it all showed up in fashion. Clothes were cut slimmer and women's fashions always brought attention to the face. The rounded crushed velvet collar frames the face perfectly, while the cut away hemline give a peek of the seductive knee that ladies were exposing at the time. Shocking!
It's so rare to find vintage clothing from the 1920s that is in such great condition and perfectly wearable.
available at Dorthea's Closet, $345
