Once reserved for aristocrats and the affluent, high fashion had taken a noticeably more attainable turn, allowing middle class men and women in on the fun. Some luxurious textiles were finally affordable, making it possible for fashionable items to be created at home. In the 1920s it was still quite common for clothes to be handmade.
Designers and homemakers alike were throwing caution to the wind, trying daring new styles just to see what they could get away with. In this instance, I’m speaking of young, stylish city women. Many women who lived in rural areas wore nearly the same as their mothers. There were very different types of people converging at once in the 1920s from many different walks of life. Some were desperate for change, others wanted nothing to do with it.
The most stunning thing you will notice about 1920s fashion is the shape of the silhouette. It is strikingly straight and flat.

This straight shape is a very distinct element of 1920s
