Ebay Vintage Find - Flapper Girl via 1960s
One of my favorite bloggers is Miss Karen of I'm Not Anti-Social. Not only is she adorable, but she has gone from a 1920s flapper darling to a 1960s mod girl in the blink of an eye (and a trim of the bob).
I posted a comment on her blog, or it may have been mine, not really sure, about the commonalities between the 1920s and the 1960s in terms of style and women's issues. The 1920s were such a liberating time for women - short hair, short hemlines, partying, and much to the dismay of the previous generation, "liberal" values. And as history often repeats itself, the mod girl of the 1960s went through another liberating metamorphosis. Gone were the days of the wasp waist and full skirt - this modern girl wore knee baring, and often thigh baring, skirts, severe Sassoon bobs were in vogue, and she entered the workforce - by choice!
So it makes perfect sense that this week's Vintage Find comes from the 1960s, but pays homage to the original liberal girl with this killer flapper girl print bodice. I could see wearing this little dress anywhere - party, shopping, a speak easy, a poetry reading.
