Clothes!
I've been tremendously busy today researching interps...sadly that doesn't contribute to homework getting done, but whatever. Here's some good stuff I've found:
General '20s clothing info:
http://www.vintagedance.com/dress-20s.htm
http://www.fashion-era.com/flapper_fashion_1920s.htm
(Has lots of links, many of which are very informative...)
http://www.fabrics.net/joan1000.asp
http://www.fcps.edu/westspringfieldhs/academic/english/1project/99gg/99gg2/clothe2.htm
Shoes:
http://www.centuryinshoes.com/decades/1920/1920.html
(There's more info if you click 'continue' at the bottom...these shoes are beautiful!)
Clothes and Shoes I'd Buy If I were Independently Wealthy:
http://www.tias.com/6361/PictPage/1922572918.html
http://www.anothertimevintageapparel.com/shop_vict1920skirt.htm
http://clothing.listings.ebay.com/Womens-Shoes_1920-38-20s-Depression_W0QQsacatZ74978QQsocmdZListingItemList
Specifically, these ones:
http://stores.ebay.com/Antiques-International_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ0QQftidZ2QQtZkm
This last link is probably the most telling, since when women worked in the mines and forges, they dressed similarly to men for safety reasons. Unfortunately, this was rare, and so there are very few pictures of what they wore...which makes it tough to be accurate...In my mind, I can see them wearing cute tops with short-ish sleeves, but with pants, because skirts and long sleeves just got in the way too much.
I'd love input from an expert on women miners in New Mexico in the early '20s...anyone...Bueller?
