The Most Popular 1920s Dresses

1920s style dresses can still be seen on clothing racks today, characterized by no waist, or drop waist and asymmetrical hemlines to name a few. Overall, dresses of the 1920's carried the free-form look. This is true for both day and evening 1920s Dresses . The most popular fabrics came from the Orient and were very decorative. Of course, there were many other worldwide sources as well.

Some may ask what inspired these designs. They are surprised to learn that it was a combination of the many new dances requiring the wearer to be able to move freely on the dance floor, as well as the need for women to be comfortable at work.

Below are just a few of the most popular 1920s dresses styles. Think "The Great Gatsby," or rent the movie! You'll quickly get an idea of the most popular dress types of this era.

The Bias Cut 

This dress style was famous for its 45-degree angle cut at the major seams. This styling allowed the fabric to drape beautifully in folds and show off the woman's shapes and contours. This style of dress was extremely easy to wear, allowing women to comfortably wear it to work during the day and smoothly transition to dancing the night away at a speakeasy blaring the charlston.

Flapper Dress 

Many of the Flapper dress as the iconic style of 1920's. Some popular brands included:

• Chanel

• Molyneux

• Paquin

The Flapper look has been a popular choice for many attending 1920's themed parties as it was considered the look of the decade. It featured a silhouette that was tubular with a low waistline, also known as a drop-waist. Dresses were often backless and today would be referred to as a chemise - which is a term widely used for lingerie.

The hemline falling below the knee was preferred by most women of the era. The dresses flowed beautifully against their legs as the fabric was airy and light, and the bead work tended to keep it in place just enough. Chiffon, silk, taffeta and even velvet were common fabrics for the Flapper dress.

Tabard-Style

Finally, the tabard-style dress was more of a straight style that featured inserts in the sides and a low back. Some had very thin straps upon the shoulders just for support. Then a feathered boa or shawl was draped over the shoulders. Some of these dresses even featured intricate beading making them perfect for evening wear.

The Watch Buyers Group - Reward your Hardwork

Show pride in your success with classy accouterments.

         It’s not nice to be boastful.  If you show too much pride in your success, people will start to resent you, but if you show no pride, people won’t respect you at all.  It’s a fine line to walk to exude the appropriate amount of strut, but if you’ve worked hard and been fortunate enough to achieve an element of success that allows you certain comforts in life, you deserve to show off.  A little.  The trick is to find an elegant way to draw attention to yourself, without drawing attention to yourself. 

Get an impeccable suit

         Impeccable and loud are mutually exclusive, so don’t misunderstand me.  The most expensive suit is rarely the classiest, but the classiest suit certainly will cost you a pretty penny.  For those of us who have worked hard to achieve our success, the perfect suit is an appropriate accouterment to our mindset, to our drive and our ambition.  When I wear one of my two favorite suits, I immediately feel more successful and more confidant, which in turn draws people to me and contributes to my success.  It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.  The most important step in the process of procuring the right suit, is the tailoring.  Please don’t arrive at a suit store and just walk away without trying it on.  Yes, I realize that trying on clothes is about as desirable as a shark attack, but the smallest shifts in measurement will make or break how you look in your new suit.  Do yourself a favor and get a professional to make it perfect.

A Rolex

          It is part mechanical ingenuity, part breathtaking jewelry, and all a symbol of tact and success.  And it all fits right around your wrist.  Rolex watches have been the absolute standard in timepieces since before your grandfather was born back in the old country.  This long history of perfectionism has instilled a priceless amount of pride and individuality in every single watch.  Also, they are designed for both men and women and will make anyone feel at the top of his game.  To don a Rolex watch is to give yourself a promotion, it is the three piece suit for your hand, it is the emotional support staff that will allow you to walk into that pitch meeting and have your entire audience teetering at the edge of their seats.  If the idea of this is whetting your appetite, check out the watch of your dreams at rolex watch repair los angeles or rolex repair los angeles and be prepared to get inspired. 

A briefcase

         Not just any briefcase.  Allow yourself to be at your best with an all leather, well made briefcase.  I like one with a shoulder strap rather than a handle, but there are so many options to choose from in a briefcase that you should really do some perusing yourself.  However, any great business bag is a perfect accouterment for the workplace.

Let's Dine! ft. Niners (9rs) Iligan

Model/MUA: Brice Serquina (Potpourri)

I have to say I love Cafes and Restaurants but its very seldom for me to go to these places well at least not yet. There is a certain vibe to these places that I really adore. The designs are carefully thought of, vintage pieces, classic touches, the aroma, its fabulous furniture, the lighting, the overall energy you get, its very liberating almost like a natural high.

Location: NINERS (9rs) Iligan - San Miguel, Iligan City

(Note: This is an artistic collaboration between two people. The girl in the photo is Ms. Brice Serquina. The blogger Carla Cee plays as the photographer.)

It's the perfect combination that makes a set of clothes work. Brice is wearing this lovely top with prints that looks so effortlessly classy. She instantly looks very 'managerial' I say, very formal and presentable. She chose blue jeans that hug her skinny legs very well.

Collab 1
Collab 2

We had lasagna and meatballs. The lasagna is very savory to the point where its too good, its always nice. The meatballs are mouth watering too except that I want more sweetness from it which is how Philippine Spaghetti is like, this one is based on European/American parameters which is good nonetheless. Sorry to make your stomachs complain, mine too whilst writing this. *high five* 

Food lovers are the best people they say, I can see why, every time you eat is an experience, an appreciation of life. I must be one of them the moment I can afford to. 

Cheers to food!

A Lovely Afternoon with Brice

Hello Y'all! I'M BACK from the dead with the strongest intentions ever! I will hopefully have a day job soon and if that happens it'll be by far one of the best things that happened this year. I will be affiliated with Coca-Cola in case you're wondering what job I will have. Wish me luck? :)

My friend Brice and I had a series of photoshoots done while she's having her short vacation. Brice is a student of Medicine which means she's so busy and to have this chance to work with her again is just so wonderful! This is not the first time you'll see her in the blog, we've done a photoshoot before, see this post. I secretly am jealous with Brice's model-esque body, it's just so easy to dress her!

Hope you enjoy the photos as we did have a lot of fun shooting these. I miss you all so much and I hope I'll continue posting regularly. Did you even miss me my dearest readers?

Love from me. <3 Til my next post...

Manicure Mondays : Sally Hansen Mix

Little Story:

So I went to a doctor at 4 a.m. or so last Saturday morning all because I can't sleep, I dragged my parents with me. I complained about this feeling where I would stop breathing every time I sleep or try to sleep, it's like I'm in the state of sleep then I woke up instantly grasping for breathe. I haven't slept since 12 midnight. The doctor said anxiety and probably coffee, I had ECG done and they checked my vitals, it was all good like a normal, healthy person. There was a lot on my mind that time, everything rushed in and I can't concentrate on sleeping, well I guess I'm just all stressed out. I am freaked by what happened and I am not drinking coffee for now. I am trying things to have full control on my heart again, I have been eating a lot and I try to jog at least 5 minutes twice a day. When life hits you in the face, you just react differently and wisely, it's crazy!!! My baby loves try not to be hard on yourselves and always look at the brighter side okay? I don't want you to experience what happened to me. I am now fine and trying to get back to normal, I'm all good. 

Let's get crackin'



Ever since I bought this baby, it has been an instant favorite! I love grey shirts and this steely greyish polish is all the same. You've seen me wear this quite a lot and now it deserves to be in the spotlight!

How it looks when worn:

It looks so not normal to me this shade, its like cement! 

This time I used a different top coat, a new purchase from the same brand.

                   Tadaa! It's the perfect top coat! It is colorless, it is fast drying, it's our best friend!

Voila! Shiny metallic-ish nails!

Products used: 

Sally Hansen Nail Polish (Steely Glaze)
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri (01 Clearly Quick)
You can buy these, here.

Any tea recommendations please? Leave 'em in the comments, its too cold every morning and I can't drink coffee, I'm dying.

Thanks for taking the time to be a part of Manicure Mondays! 

Have fun this week and smile always. *wink*
