{"product_id":"9781785003400","title":"Making Vintage 1920s Clothes for Women","description":"The '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 pyjamas, 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. Superbly illustrated with 314 close-up colour photographs.","brand":"Crowood Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135555879152,"sku":"9781785003400","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785003400_p0.jpg?v=1763727035","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785003400","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
