Dress and the Dancer: A Glimpse into the Jazz Age Fashion of the 1920s in London This collection of images showcases four costume sketches and two actual costumes from the vibrant world of jazz age dancing in London during 1922. The first costume sketch, titled "Mrs. Banfield in her Costume for the Three Arts Ball," depicts an elegant woman dressed in a flowing, intricately beaded gown, complete with a feather headpiece. The second sketch, "Dance Gown by Ninette," features a more daring design with a dropped waistline, fringe detailing, and a daringly low back. The two actual costumes in this collection further highlight the flair and excitement of the 1920s jazz scene. The first costume, worn by Mrs. Banfield, is a stunning example of high-end couture, with its intricate beading, delicate lace, and elegant train. The second costume, the dance gown by Ninette, embodies the spirit of the era with its bold fringe, daring cut, and seductive allure. These images, sourced from a London magazine in 1922, offer a glimpse into the world of jazz age fashion and the glamour of the ballroom. The age of flappers, Charleston dances, and daring fashion statements had arrived, and these costumes are a testament to the creativity and innovation of the time. Whether you're a fashion historian, a fan of the 1920s, or simply someone who appreciates the art of costume design, this collection is a must-see. These images transport us back to a time of excitement, creativity, and self-expression, and serve as a reminder of the enduring influence of the jazz age on fashion and culture.
