The 1920s

In vivid contrast to the dresses of the early 1900s, the "Roaring '20s," witnessed dramatic changes in women's fashion. The jersey dress with its low waistline and short, straight skirt was the hallmark of the decade. These dresses, often sleeveless or with small cap sleeves, usually displayed low necklines, both front and back. Bead embroidery and costume jewelry completed the look.
