A Fashionable Hallowe’en

OH! How much do I adore these vintage 1920s Hallowe’en costumes? So many of my favourite stripes and pompoms are featured. The designs are rather interesting with their Oriental flavour too – Chinoiserie was popular during the Art Deco period. I find them so much more interesting than modern costumes, which tend to be a bit garish for my taste. Amazingly, these 1920s costumes were intended to be made from crepe paper.

The illustrations, by Barbara Crews, are pretty delicious too. Now here is a party I would love to go to.
