the best part about the 20's style clothing is that they compliment all shapes and sizes.
the best part about these photos is that they are so exuberant. they transcend 'fashion'.
i hope that the spirit of the roaring 20's get back to the u.s. soon

That crochet lace dress – or is it a skirt + top? – is one of the raunchiest pieces of clothing I've seen in a long time! The cling, the weight of the skirt. I can see why she wore it to dance in, and I can see why he asked her to dance.

Love the woman's outfit! The dress and the headdress would fit right into Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. I like the man's hat, especially with the ace of clubs card tucked at the brim.

The bow tie/spectator competition is fierce, but the older gent wins. The young gun should know better than to ruin good trousers with clip-on suspenders.
