Italian fascism predates Hitler's rise to power. Plus, I think elements of what we think of as 20's fashion were still in style in the first couple of years of the 30's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-dropped-waist-dress-still-30s#post-1134169 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:38:26 +0000 annagybe 1134169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, done deal, I'll wear the jumpsuit!<br /> Maybe with my new pink pumps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-dropped-waist-dress-still-30s#post-1134166 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:36:54 +0000 Anonymous 1134166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jumpsuits are fine!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fashion-era.com/images/Silhouettes/1930dresstoptrouserscen1000.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.fashion-era.com/ima.....en1000.jpg</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-dropped-waist-dress-still-30s#post-1134154 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:28:08 +0000 catgirl 1134154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know but I love drop waist dresses!

Good search.<br /> Hmm, Dana, the only thing in my closet approaching those silhouettes is a black silk jumpsuit. Above the waist it's spot on, but it's pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-dropped-waist-dress-still-30s#post-1134137 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:18:55 +0000 ATLynn 1134137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think waistlines moved up in the 30s, but the pleats sound very of the time.&nbsp;</p> <p>Is it this one? &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marni-midi-dress-color-question">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....r-question</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>You would rock this, and it would be a nice nod to the era without being too literal. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-dropped-waist-dress-still-30s#post-1134134 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:17:10 +0000 ironkurtin 1134134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I don't think so.&nbsp; (<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=1930s+fashion&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;hs=8de&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;channel=fflb&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=aMzOUo7PHvKwsQS9koGADA&amp;ved=0CCwQsAQ&amp;biw=1213&amp;bih=659" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?.....S:official</a>)<br />But that doesn't mean you can't wear it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-dropped-waist-dress-still-30s#post-1134128 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:13:52 +0000 Anonymous 1134128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there still would have been some persistence of the trend into the 1930s. I don't think someone would call you out for wearing it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-dropped-waist-dress-still-30s#post-1134127 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:12:20 +0000 Janet 1134127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like it should work nicely for the occasion.&nbsp;</p> <p>I cannot wear a dropped waist to save my life -- I look like a big wide box with boobs!&nbsp;I'll live vicariously through you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-dropped-waist-dress-still-30s#post-1134119 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:03:59 +0000 Carole 1134119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems appropriate to me, flapper-esque! I personally love dropped waists. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-dropped-waist-dress-still-30s#post-1134116 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:02:34 +0000 annagybe 1134116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know they were definitely emblematic of the 20's, but did the silhoutte extend into the 30's.<br />Saturday night I'm going to opening night of Rigoletto with Amy, Jenava and another friend. Seattle Opera is setting in the fascist Mussolini era. They are encouraging patrons to dress according to the era.<br />I have a dusty pink drop waist Marni dress with big pleats on the skirt. It is a dress I bought on a sample sale, had second thoughts. Unsuccessfully tried to consign, so now I want to try and make it work. </p>
