1930s Fashion
1930s FashionFashion for Women – 1930 George V
Women wore clinging materials such as crepe, georgette, satin, rayons, heavy silks, shantung, jersey, supple woollens, etc. The colours were neutral browns, beige, pinks, etc. They were floral printed fabrics in soft large designs with elaborate cutting, particularly on the bias.
Women wore corsets to control excess weight. The craze was to be tall and slim, with slender hips and a mannish figure with broad shoulders, a small bosom and small bottom. The movement of women was mature and elegant.
The women’s clothes clung to the body with longer hemlines that were flared and dipping at the sides. Picture hats and longer hair were the fashion. Coats were worn of all lengths.
Accessories – Fauntlet suede gloves were fashionable. Matching handbag, shoes and belt were worn. Red or grey fox furs were slung over one shoulder with the head of the fox forming a clasp to hold the back legs. Batik and fine silk scarves were worn around the neck. On the fingers heavy rings were in fashion. Costume jewellery included ear, neck and belt clips. Gem-set wrist watches were popular.
