Episode 804 of It's Sew Easy is all about jazzy styles from the roaring twenties. Drop waists, fringy fashions, garment details with pretty points, and long strings of pearls typified the era. A little digging into historical photos will turn up everything from the wild and crazy to the sophisticated and chic. Aside from the 20's style dropped waist, I think you'll agree that some of these fashionable features are quite trendy today. Take a glance at the beautiful blue dress pictured above and think about how it fits right in to our contemporary fashion scheme. Look at the following details:
- Lacey Overlays, most certainly current right now, lace details and overall lace garments are everywhere!
- Ombre Fabric Effects, I saw tunic tops that were dip dyed in varying shades in a clothing catalog just the other day.
- Handkerchief Hemline Accents, tops and skirts in both ready to wear and pattern catalogs are showing similar high-low, and pointed hemlines galore!
It's amazing how fashion comes full circle but always has a different twist. In this show Angela Wolf added simple fringe to a t-shirt and Amber Eden, editor of Stitch Magazine provided a full tutorial on sewing sequined fabrics.
