For ladies of color who flat iron your hair, her first hair style can be done with dry hair, slight spritz of super hold hair spray. Spring rollers very small. Next day use small paddle brush to gently brush out as she did. Do the clips like she did. Should. Be able to get a similar set.
If you really want to succeed as a RU-vidr, then please do yourself, and your audience, a favor by getting with a voice coach. Or even, just join Toastmasters. You have a cadence to your speech which is extremely tiresome (as in, you sound tired and bored with it all). And then there are the verbal tics... umm... and yeah... but yeah... uh... you know... yeah. But the clothes are beautiful. Yeah.
For anyone getting a new (or new to you) sewing machine, there are affordable options with a stitch that looks like a zig-zag with a line above and a line below. It functions as close to a serger as possible on a regular machine with its one spool of thread - highly recommend.
Have you done 1930s makeup for working class or house wife of time. Not as in Marlena Dietrich. Steal or glamorous. . How or were would you. Address this subject. I am prep for event were it more adventure, Indiana Jones, working class type person Amelia Earhart type characters not sure Hollywood glitzy climber 30s make up. What’s the suggestions you have for that type of personality
I think most people in the western world have gone through those things. It is called learning and growth. You are NOT so different than anyone else. I have debt because I was in school late in life and I used credit cards for food. I used to have a job that paid me fantastically during the summer and I always paid everything off each summer. Unfortunately, the pandemic hit and my job died with it. I don't worry about it. I pay what I can and move on. Life is full of ups and downs. I wanted to be a special education preschool teacher, but a couple of months after I received my teaching credential I was diagnosed with cancer and I have had many operations due to cancer and bad back problems so I am now retired and I have little money on a fixed income.
Just popping in to say hi! I have been binge watching your content the past couple of days and I really love the intersection of deco style, sewing and the concept of economy and having fewer, better things. I really hope you continue to make videos in the future because they are all so well-researched and rich with insight. I’m a huge fan. Thank you for the inspiration!
Madeleine Khan’s white dress from Paper Moon is on my make list. I have a couple reproduction patterns from McCalls from the late 20’s and early 30’s. From family photos, most of the women in my family wore simple shift dresses. I have one of a grandma with a shirt and blouse, at a funeral, I think. Maybe it goes under the radar because it was an austere time. Bonnie and Clyde and the Newton boys (family) were in the press and usually not in anything fancy. Even fancy was poor and folks like reminiscing about the stories. Then the war started and folks were just relieved it was over.
Did you make the beige jacket you are wearing in the third part of the video? Just asking because I really like the style and would like to make a similar one if I can.
Thank you for sharing. Many people are quite superficial, and hence consider the people around them in a superficial way. I can definitely relate, having a classically pretty face, a lot of people have commented on my pretty face, without having the curiosity to know me on a deeper level. I have found that when I do meet people who show genuine curiosity, I spend a lot more time with them!
Hear hear! I couldn't agree more! Thank you for starting your channel, this video just popped up in my feed. I scoured RU-vid a couple years back looking for a #costuber specialising in 1930s style, and yes, I could not find anyone at the time.
I love to flip through these old magazines. I have a lot from the 30s to 60s. I am always amazed at how good the still are: these colours and drawings, no fading. The shorter dresses and skirts for college girls show that fashion is not a quick change. It is not a cut in style from 1939 to 1940 it is more a progress.
Yes! The 30s get so overlooked as a whole! I wish there were more reproduction 30s cloting out there too. I find that it is very close to the 40s, but there is something that 40s clothing misses that the 30s does just so well. my Favoite Batman is Batman the Animated Series because it it totally styled with the cues of the 1930s, and it is just so visually pleasing!
Hearing about the Great Depression as the first (and only?..) association with the 1930's was a bit unexpected. For me, as a Russian, the first associations were the Great Terror of 1937 and the general rise of totalitarianism, also reflected in fashion, not only in the USSR and Germany, but in other places too (sportswear!). Feels kind of relatable again...
Definitely veering very close to what we see as the 1940s silhouette ❤❤ I'm currently trying to sew clothes using the Haslam system to create a thirties/forties style wardrobe. She actually has patterns for nightwear and lingerie for those who want to be authentic from the skin upwards
I unfortunately discovered AD about a year ago and have since become an addict lol. I got the green Parkers for an event, then took advantage of the summer sale and got the navy Claremonts. I love them both though they haven't been worn quite as much as I would like due to life. Then I splurged on the Liliths and Daisys during the Thanksgiving sale, though I anticipate wearing them more in the springtime than winter, since I have a fear of their shoes being discontinued before I can get them (I really wanted the Peggys but was trying to be responsible with my money and they were discontinued this summer, sigh). Over the last 2 years I have needed to replace all my shoes since they wore out basically all at once and weren't worth taking to a cobbler. I now have a closet full of SAS and American Duchess shoes that I love; though I do occasionally have to remind myself the beautiful AD shoes are meant to be worn and if I ruin them at some point it is ok, they are just shoes lol.
Female owned? I’m out. I only buy from male owned companies. Sounds crazy doesn’t it? Female owned is just as crazy. We are all equal! Quality is quality! Who cares who owns it!
Subscribed simply from seeing your neckline. Interesting topic, and I’m unfamiliar with more ordinary 1930 sclothes, so I am looking forward to seeing more.
I would love to see a very glamorous 1930s movies star style look book or outfit or something. 😍I’m really into 1930s glamor. Fur coats, sleek and slinky satin dresses, makeup, jewelry etc! Or maybe summer wear of the 1930s. I love love love 1930s summer resort wear. Especially palazzo pants. ❤
i teach interior design history in a college program & i love going on about how the 1930s was when we first started to see the earliest versions of the fabrics we use every day start to develop. DuPont started investing in rayon & eventually lead to the discoveries of nylon & polyester .. I love looking at the 1930s era ads showing the new materials
oh, you made my day! A few months ago a hairdresser completely ruined my hair, so I had to cut into a pixie. As a 1930's girl, I was gutted. Actually my hair is as long as yours, but I was still insecure to style it. Thanks to you, I feel more confident ❤
Very lovely and pretty! The way you did your makeup is perfect! Are you wearing mascara at all? Have you tried their cake mascara? I just purchased the Bésame Universal Masterliner and I’m so excited to try it! Anyway, thank you for the video 😊
