Fashion between the 1900s and 1950s changed everything 🪡
In just five decades, silhouettes softened, corsets disappeared, waists dropped, shoulders sharpened, skirts widened again… and clothing began reflecting freedom, war, rebellion, glamour, practicality, and identity in completely different ways.
And honestly?
You can still feel traces of every one of these eras in modern sewing today.
The bias cut of the 1930s.
The structure of the 1940s.
The femininity of the 1950s.
This is why I love studying historical dress so much, fashion is never just clothing. It tells us what society valued, what people longed for, and how makers solved problems with nothing but fabric, structure, and skill with the changing times within our societies.
So now I want to know…
🪡 Which decade pulls you in most, and why?
🪡 If you could sew ONE garment from these decades, what would it be?
🪡 And which period do you think had the most beautiful construction techniques?
I've been a busy bee in the background, clearing my storage, designs, costumes and much more, ready to start uploading and sharing next right here in The Atelier Hub, very exciting!
I'm building the group in real time, and grateful you're here, sharing this space of sewers 🪡 🥰
So, tell the hub what you think of the 50 years fashion journey 1900-1950's.
