Making Fashion (1938) - extract

[sallyofseattle]

I sooo want that cream and magenta print number at the finish of the video. And the floral one right before it as well. OMG you don't see clothes like that anymore not even close!!!....the 30s was the best, lots of body consciousness and bias cuts, much sexiier to me than the 20s, the 40s or the 50s by a long shot!

They put so much more effort into making clothes back then, even in the nightgowns & slips, I have a few, so I've looked at the construction. Today we have computerized sewing machines & yet clothes look so blah, unless you customize them yourself. Oh well, another fashion clip favorited!

Superb. Very similar in style to the extract included in the BBC Television Demonstration film from 1937.

Oh - and I love Dufaycolor as well. I wish they'd bring it back.

Argh. I adore the music playing in the background and I really, awfully hope that it's a case of tented-music (or whatever it's called.) and that there's some kind of 1930s 78 release of the same recording that can be found somewhere to post on youtube.

This is one of my favorite 1930s fashion-related clips.

I agree with sarlota vielsu and misshowe. I think here the question might be. Practical for what ? I like 43 .

Overdressed,overpriced dressess for the upper crust of soceity..they are works of art wear but not practical and comfortable.That is a perspective coming out of casual wear fanatic.I can try putting them on for cat walk though.

[Sarlota]

I dont think you are saying something which I would agree with.

[vielsu]

Every one of these dresses is stunning!

[misshowe]

Exquisite.. such style and poise.
