I'm too curvy for 1930s styles, but despite my avowed non-girliness, I am MAD for Dior's New Look.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Because books.

Oh yeah, I love a lot of those dresses. Oddly, I also love a lot of '50s stuff -- and even more oddly, I saw a lot of it on I Love Lucy. The tweed suit she models in Hollywood, the dress with the vines at the waist, climbing up and down. And the hats! We don't wear hats enough anymore.
See what happens when I post before looking at Teppy's link? That's exactly what I talking about.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Also, the two cuts on the right are the Eton Crop you were looking into months ago
That wasn't me -- flea, maybe? I was helping her out with links, just like you.
I don't see what I'm looking for there. I mean more than silhouette, if possible -- and they only have a few. Ideally, I guess, would be some sort of thing where you put in your dimensions and it spat out "Japan, 1920!" and you know that's when and where they were trying to look like your body (or closest, really).
I mean, there are probably tons of women who could do with a subtle shift away from trying to dress like today's fashion, but just introducing period elements into their wardrobe -- keeps their wardrobe timeless, plus is pulling from a pool of fashion that's all about their high waist and flat chest (or whatever).

My shoulders are a bit too wide for it, really, but the full dramatic skirts were made for hips like mine. With that nipped-in waist, it's an incredible silhouette.

I'm so schizy, stylewise. I have gothy stuff and stuff that looks like a Buffett Concert,(I'm wearing some right now, AIFG) clothes that say "don't look at me," and sort of cover everything, little business skirts I never really get to use(but can't sell...they're just cheap Wal-mart dreck(spits) I admire those of you with true style sense.

I'll get on the hats train. It would be lovely to have something a little fancier than a cowboy hat or a baseball cap to keep the sun off my face in the summer. And they're so much fun to try on.

I don't think your shoulders are too wide for it, really.
I luuuuuuuurve Dior New Look. My ideal wardrobe would be a blending of New Look & Victorian styles. (I'm getting close to that, sloooowly.)

I have a big head. Hats coming back would not be good for me.
