An ABC News story about the fashions of the 1920's:
"Fashion in the 1920′s saw a great shift from decades prior, reflecting a myriad of attitudes based on economic prosperity, the more-empowered role of women, the end of World War I, the evolution of jazz music and bootlegging. “The Great Gatsby,” set in Long Island, N.Y., in the 1920′s, has this iconic moment in fashion as its backdrop.
As the decade advanced, so did women’s hemlines.
Women cut their hair shorter in bob cuts and curled it with irons, tucked into their cloche hats or adorned with art deco jewelry and hairpieces. Accent pieces such as anklets were popular as well.
A spirit of opulence and frivolity was well reflected in the clothing worn at this time." ABC News
So....WAS IT WORTH IT? All that MONEY spent chasing the worldly fashions of he day...which are now in the dust bin of history... Same thing applies to the worldly fashions of today....
....for the fashion of this world passeth away.
