{"product_id":"9781785003394","title":"Making Vintage 1920s Clothes for Women","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"roaring twenties\" were exciting years for women's fashion. The iconic image is of the young \"flapper\" dancing the night away in a sparkling dress with fringes and tassels moving to the beat of the Jazz age. But, for all women in the post-war years of the 1920s, there was a new freedom in fashion as hemlines lifted and waistlines dropped. The simplified silhouette caused a boom in home dressmaking as women with basic sewing skills used tissue paper patterns to run up a new frock in the latest style. This practical book explains the background to these years and the trends in women's fashion, before introducing a range of garments that women would typically have worn. Suzanne Rowland gives a unique and detailed account of how to make vintage 1920s clothes for women based on the dress collections at the Royal Pavilion \u0026amp; Museums, Brighton \u0026amp; Hove, and Worthing Museum and Art Gallery. Fifteen detailed projects for garments and accessories include a pair of fashionably daring beach pajamas, the wedding dress of a bride from East Sussex, and a simple striped frock suitable for wearing at a British seaside resort. Each project includes a detailed description of the original garment with an accompanying illustration alongside photographs of the original pieces. Scaled patterns are included with a list of materials and equipment required. Step-by-step instructions and close-up photographs are given for each stage of the making process with information about the original techniques used.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crowood Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037736222960,"sku":"9781785003394","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785003394_p0.jpg?v=1763727317","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785003394","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
