Fashion During the Great Depression

I like clothes from the 20s, like this:


But clothes from the 1930s are much better.
1930[1]

Aren’t they pretty?


I like the white gown with the green bow. And the silver gown.


The thing that I like about this shoe is that it has rainbow colors on it.  Also it has a birdie on the side – on the buckle.


I don’t even believe this is a man’s coat.

I like jewelry.
Fashion jewelry first appeared in the 1930s as a less expensive, disposable accessory meant to be worn with a certain outfit. Also known as "costume jewelry" Fashion Jewelry is made of less valuable materials including base metals, glass, synthetic stones and plastic.

  1. It sure is fun to see how much fashion has changed over the years. When it comes to jewelry, bracelets are my favorite. I especially love the made for luck bracelet in your photo.

    If you didn't see this when I posted it... you may enjoy it Miss Esme.
