Patterns of the Past - What a Difference Two Years Makes

Huge difference. I also adore looking at the contrast between 1920's patterns and 1930's patterns.
I love the look on the right, I am not big into the early 1900's but that dress is so stunning I would make an exception.
Lovely post.
Take care

Women probably silently revolted against being hobbled like a horse.
I would wear that cape anytime. Very classic.
Wow, I didn't even notice the cape! It is so elegant.
I agree the cape is very attractive. Those super narrow skirts must have looked horrible on *hippy* people. I can't imagine what I would look like in one.
