Most of the time though, my curvier hips just barely allow the drop waists to fall properly. That's why I'm a 30s gal...long lines, clothes that cling to the curves, neck and back details that draw the eye to the shoulders and back, and that lower hemline that hits the calves, which for me is a flattering length. That 11th image looks like a 30s gown (or maybe it's really late 20s?) In either case, that's the one my eye is drawn to most.BaronessVonVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329735134543431231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-76976678521980480792009-11-19T20:05:55.607-05:002009-11-19T20:05:55.607-05:00They're so beautiful, but SO not suited to my ...They're so beautiful, but SO not suited to my figure.

The BBC have just finished a season on the glamour of the 20s, if you can catch it on any out of the UK BBC broadcast.<br /><br />I've never been really interested in the 20s because I really don't have the figure. Even at my thinnest I could never have described myself as 14yr old boy. Much prefer the 50s myself.<br /><br />Have you looked at the Victoria and Albert Museum's archives?Louizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691100508790921779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-64935651881337604122009-11-17T13:27:17.690-05:002009-11-17T13:27:17.690-05:00Me!

Either way I lose. :(The Vermilion Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531450691778942914noreply@blogger.com
