1920s, Twenties, Roaring Twenties, Flappers

"The new generation is dedicated more than the last to the fear of poverty and the worship of success; grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1920.

You like the 1920s? This is the place. Roaring Twenties, Golden Twenties, the first modern decade. Flappers, silent stars, the first fast cars, bootleg booze, and so much more.


Content from or relating to within a few years of either side of the 1920s is fine too.

Painted knees" in the 1920s refers to the trend of women, particularly flappers, applying rouge or blush to their knees as a way to add a touch of color and flirtation to their appearance, as shorter hemlines made the area more visible than in previous eras.

Can anyone find this dress?

I originally found this when reverse searching on google for a different dress but like this one so much more.
