Prompt Birthed By @ahhhh-118!

Some insight into the designs and fashion of the 20s would be so cool, especially since it's kinda hard these days to sift through just costume listing :'0

Yeah, sadly, the usefulness of a Google search is greatly diminished these days. You can still find articles written by actual human beings and genuine historical garments, but you have to wade through a lot of junky costumes and AI bullshit to get there. I can't possibly fully explain 1920s fashion here, though. It's a broad enough topic to write a sizable book about...which is why people have written many books about it. Check out some books. There are things you can get pretty cheap from resellers, everything from academic screeds about the politics behind the fashion trends of the time, to clothing catalogue compilations from the 20s, to giant coffee table books full of glorious photos.

Here's a PDF version of one of those clothing catalog collections. There's an entire preface about 1920s fashion in general too.

There are some pretty well made blogs about the topic out there as well. Vintage Dancer is one of them. The front of the site is unfortunately kind of cluttered with ads for costume apparel and modern clothing inspired by the 20s, but scroll past that to the historical bits and you'll find pertinent things.

There are some great fashion YouTubers too, like Karolina Zebrowska. Although she's not focused heavily on 1920s fashion, she talks a lot about early 20th century fashion in general. She also talks a lot about the historical context of those fashions.

Also, try online museum displays. The Met Museum has a searchable collection, for instance. Look up 1920s fashion, 1920s dresses, 1920s suits, etc.

Cameras were popular and accessible in the 1920s. Look at pictures of what people actually wore. You can find these images in free government photo archives, or licensing libraries like Getty Images (you don't have to license anything to look at it). And there's always Shorpy. Poor old, underappreciated Shorpy. Their archive is searchable.

You’re going to make me cry 🥹

I’m so glad you like the portrait! I return the tight hug and I appreciate you as my friend 🥹❤️ The Lackadaisy community is filled with really cool people and I’m so glad to meet you!❤️❤️

And I don’t know what’s going to happened at the drinking party, but I made a sketch of the aftermath 😭 and Maríanne definitely got into the bunny hugs 😭😭

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAURA!!!🎉🎉❤️

I made a little portrait of her for @rudnitskaia as a gift to celebrate her charming LackaOC Maura!

She is such a fun and amazing character and Heldig, you are such an awesome person!❤️ Thank you for being so welcoming to me when I first posted about Maríanne!❤️❤️

Maríanne Villanueva

Painting of Maríanne I wanted to surprise the wonderful @ahhhh-118 with! Except not really because they already knew since I asked xD But I mean, how could I not!? A Latinx traveler that dabbles in boxing in her free time?! Ummm yeah…that’s queen material right there.

Drawing a new character really helped me step outside of my comfort zone, it was so lovely! I might have to start harrassing more of my mutuals and followers to let me draw their OCs to help me learn. Maybe I’ll start an OC of the Week! Haha that’d be great.

The beautiful Maríanne belongs to @ahhhh-118 ! I really hope you like it !! 🥹❤️

Can you please draw D1 for Viktor please? <33

Ofc! Thank you for sending the request! :> once again I apologize for this being so late, but I hope you like it :>

YAYY MAU LORE!!! Once again thank you for taking the time to draw this and answer my question, it came out beautifully and Mau looks adorable!! ❤️❤️

I love her ambition to get what she wants and going undercover! (Literally girlbossing through the 1920s patriarchy and pool💅)

And wait a MOB PURSUIT???? Her Uncle has a speakeasy?????!! Mau what have you’ve been getting into 😦

I’m excited to hear more about Sebastian!!!
