I'd love to make some 1920's dresses if I had the time. As it is, I have bought some already made, but as they are the real thing they are too fragile to wear. Sigh.
But I did wear a wonderful 1910 dress which was made to be worn on the first day after the wedding in 1910 and never worn again except once by me. It's blue silk with an asymmetric flounced skirt, all in translucent silks, over a slip, and the bodice has beading in the same color blue.
It was a hit when I wore it, but the next stage will be a museum for that dress.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
