1929 New York Fashion Show

With color added. It's incredible to imagine how radically fashions had changed from 1909 to 1929. If a woman in 1909 were to have worn a dress above the knee she would have literally been arrested.

"literally" been arrested, as opposed to just arrested

When women wore hats! I wish that trend had never ended. I don't think they realize how becoming they are.

Those shoes look like they hurt - cutting into the top of the foot - they're all bulging.

It's wild this was less than 100 years ago.

Imagine what those people from the 1920s would think of the way we dress now!

r5 we would look like aliens to them. And not just the slutty revealing clothes either but sportswear, sneakers etc.

The shoes are by Miller. The Miller building is the one in Times Square with the statues on the side.
