I really enjoyed this. So much footage and stunning images. The advertising back then was an art in self. Thank you 🌺
How fabulous!!
Dear Madison, I finally got to watch this fantastic latest installment tonight! All of your hardwork definitely paid off! Your attention to detail is always amazing! As a side note, my great grandmother who was born in 1900 in Ohio, mentioned that she absolutely hated the woolen underwear they had to wear as it was extremely “scratchy and itchy”. Also, according to the few photographs we have of her and her sisters from the 1920s, they still dressed extremely modestly and I can’t help but wonder if typical flapper fashion was more common in the big cities? Thank you again for continuing to share your expertise with us! Sending a big hug! 💕🙏🏻
Hi Carolyn!! I hope you are doing well! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your great-grandmother's first hand experience of the 20's.Yes, I have noticed that styles seemed to be more conservative and slower to change in more rural areas, and I can only imagine how uncomfortable the wool undies have been. 😬 Sending lots of love and hugs to you! 😊🖤
Where did you get that last picture of the guy and gal buttoned into the jacket together, the one where the guy is laughing? It's kind of adorable.
It is such a cute photo! I believe I found it on Pinterest. :)
20s hairstyles are easier to manage than many modern hairstyles
As always, your presentation is informative and cultured --- such a blessed relief on youtube! Thank you again!♥
I'm so glad you enjoyed my work. 😊 Thank you for watching!
Thanks!
I adore your Fashion Archaeology series. Absolutely wonderful!! Thank you so much for your hard work and effort. This is such a useful and entertaining episode. Thank you so much!
I'm so happy to hear you enjoy my Fashion Archaeology series, Jamie! Thank you for your kind words and support! Your generous donation made my day. 😊
@@uniquelymadison It's just a little thought. Wish I could send more. Thanks again for your wonderful videos!!
I love the womans anklet (1:12). So sexy . . .
Fantastic job! The 20s/30s is my favourite fashion era to learn about and this is the best one I’ve seen so far! Binging your videos now and a new subscriber here! Keep up the good work! Best wishes from Scotland 🏴 x
Oh how wonderful! Thank you for both watching and subscribing! I was especially delighted to hear that you are from Scotland. Your beautiful country is at the top of my "Dream Countries to Visit" list.😊🖤
Ok and then you’re not gonna show what they actually wore then? Stupid ass video 🤦♂️
At time index 23:50 with the cartoon editorial of how women's fashions trends will end up if they kept going, they weren't far off with the right hand panel! There was a bald trend in the 1990s to early 2000 IIRC. It didn't really catch on, but it existed! And in the summer from the early 1970s to today some women do go out in such revealing attire. So whoever cartoonist drew and wrote that was almost dead on! It just took about 70 years!
Indeed! When I saw it I just knew I have to include it for that very reason. 😄
I'd love a video where you pick apart bad flapper costumes & show what they'd look like if they were more accurate.
That is a fun idea! I will definitely keep it in mind for the future. :)
If you could make an illustrated book about what people really wore in the 1920s, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Thank you! 😄
The delicacy of lingerie ornamentation is just lovely. Your research for this video is meticulous!
I was also so fascinated by the beautiful lingerie. It was so fun, yet still dainty and delicate. Thank you for watching!😊
Mich fun. My grandmother's grew up in the 20's. I think the men looked more stylish then the women.
That opening shot was awesome!
It was such a cool shot! 😍
Vacum in the 1920s ? It look a bit modern ?
They had prototype vacuum cleaners as early as the Victorian era :)
I’ve been utterly fascinated with the 1920’s since I was 4 years old!! It’s a longing!!
That is awesome! Please feel free to check out my other 1920s videos, you might enjoy them too :)
Yay! 💜
🥰
I love this series so much :)
I'm glad!! Thanks for watching. :)
Kudos on the selection of imagery for this. I especially appreciate the ethnic diversity! Great job overall.
I'm glad you enjoyed. 😊 Thanks for watching!
What a whoosh of Spring!
😄 It was a delight! 🪷
Dear Madison, Thank you for a most wonderfully researched, thorough, educational, and fascinating video. I can see similarities in current styles. I definitely remember stretchy girdles with garters or garter belts to hold up our nylon stockings when I was in 8th grade (when I was allowed to wear them) and having to adjust them. Pantyhose didn’t become popular until the mid-60’s. if I remember correctly.
Hi! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, I have always found it fascinating how styles go in and out and back into fashion. Also I have heard how fussy garter belts were. Pantyhose must have been a relief for many. 😄 Thank you very much for watching!
Fantastic!! I was a little worried when I saw this was about undergarments and swimsuits, but you showed everything in such a wonderfully modest fashion!! 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed! Yes, I try to keep things family friendly here 😊 Thanks for watching!
@@uniquelymadison It is highly appreciated! This series deserves to be seen so much more than it already has!! 👏👏
I was looking forward to this one, and you didn’t disappoint, Madison. It’s a wonderful addition to your series! I can’t imagine the work, and time involved. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you dear Cindy!! Yes, it took over two months to put together 😅 But I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed. 🖤
@@uniquelymadison ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well done, Madison! As you may recall, I am producing an animated film set in 1926. Finding accurate clothing for my characters has been almost impossible, but I’ve been doing my best. There is a scene in the film where ladies’ underwear could be seen, and I hadn’t researched the topic yet. Thank you for your efforts to produce this video! 👏👏👏🌸
Glad I could help. And thank you for the support. :)
"Come on babe, why don't we paint the town? And all that jazz I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down And all that jazz..."
Isn't that from Glee? 😄
@@IanMichael-pj7fz The movie “Chicago"
@@Lainers2000 Oh thank you! I didn't know it was first from a movie.🙂 Is it worth a watch?
@@IanMichael-pj7fz I saw it on the big screen it’s a musical and thought it was quite good. It won 6 Academy Awards. There is also a movie entitled “All that Jazz” sort of the life of Bob Fosse, a famous choreographer, which I really enjoyed. Can’t remember if they use the song in the movie, however.
@@Lainers2000 Thank you so much!! I will be sure to watch both of those
Thank you for that precious collection of lingerie of the 20s. ❤Very interesting from a historical point of view. I am not convinced that it could be re-introduced in fashion because of change of health.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks so much for watching! :)
I don't think it will be re-introduced either. But I'm curious why you think so for health reasons?
With all the crime in the 1920s, you'd think that cities would have better uses for their police than patrolling the beaches with measuring tapes. 🤔
😂
Maybe that's why crime increased,;the cops were on the beaches!
@@annbrookens945 That almost seems like it could've been a cartoon from the time...a policeman on the beach with a measuring tape, while a masked robber is tiptoeing in the background.
@@storiesbydarian 😆
@@annbrookens945 🤔 Hmmm, maybe!
Your fashion documentaries are so enjoyable, Madison! I had never heard about the knee painting at 12:59 before. How did that start?
Thank you so much!! I found the knee painting thing fascinating too, but I could not find much info on how it started. It did seem to be connected to dating culture, since many would choose a picture of their boyfriend. So that is certainly part of the reason. 😀
@@uniquelymadison That is fascinating! Sometimes it's more interesting when no one knows exactly how a historical trend started.
I am now influenced to get a racoon coat, fly style
They do look pretty rad! 💯 😁
I bet this would be a great video to watch, for people who don’t speak English as their first language, since you have such good annunciation and don’t talk too fast.
I would hope so! Some people have mentioned that, and it always makes me happy to hear.😄 Thanks for watching!
I'm doing research on the 1920s and this is fantastic. Thank you! <3
I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching! I have a new episode on 20s fashion coming next week, by the way. 😊
@@uniquelymadison I see that =)
Great episode!!!!!!!
Thanks! Stay tuned for a new episode coming next week. 😊
Very interesting. We had at home many photos of women of the family that seemed like these I saw here
That is so cool! Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for a new episode coming next week. 😊
Literally looking for inspiration because our community theatre production of Anything goes opens next friday and I started laughing so hard when I heard the opening music
How awesome!!! I wish you all the best in your community theatre production. 😊
Love this!
I'm glad you enjoyed! I hope you enjoy more of my episodes, and thank you for watching. 😊
Flat cap and newsboy caps are different styles. A NEWSBOY CAP (Newsies, Paperboy, Bakerboy caps) look rounder, puffier and a little baggy, originated in 1800 North America. It has strips of material akin to "pizza slices" sewn together and a button in the center. A FLAT CAP (ivy cap, crook cap, driving cap, cabbie cap) fits more closely on the head and is constructed from several strips sewn together in the back of the same material, having a smooth, consistent "one-piece" look, with no "pizza slices" and no top button. They are two different looks. In the add at 6:54 are shown ten cloth hats. All but two are Newsboy caps. Only the second one from the left along the array at the bottom is a flat cap. Notice the buttons atop the Newsboy caps. I wear flat caps made in Ireland and the Flat cap traces it origins to the 16th century England where it was called a "bonnet". They began calling it a cap just before 1700, except in Scotland, where it is referred to as a bunnet. The two caps are shown together at 7:14 Newsboy on the left; Flat cap on the right.
Just over here hoping you do a series on the 1930s 🤞🏻😃🤞🏻
😊 Of course I will! I'm hoping to start on the 1930s sometime in 2025.
My uncle ran a pool hall so my sister and I used to steal his pool chalk. Beautiful BLUE. it was the 70's.
This video would have been PERFECT!👌 But at 6:43 the 60's music does NOT play! 😩 Terrible failure!😱....Sorry, but..I can't give LIKE 😠
I have my Grandma's flapper hat and the swinging beads.
How wonderful! I wish more people kept their family heirlooms. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for a new episode coming next week.😊
Your wooden cuff bracelets are stunning, works of art. Really impressive, I adore them. They have perfect design and even look like they would be comfortable. I just haven't seen any jewelry like it before, quite stunned and a bit green eyed monstery.
That is very kind of you. I was so grateful that some one sent them my way. Thanks for watching!
