The Vintage Fashion

HD Time!
I rarely got my painting in HD version, so i got a lil bit excited when i scanned this today :
The French Lady Style.
Maybe not all of them are french, but i'm pretty sure women (in many different eras) use style like this.
I mean, everything is possible in France, since France is the most fashionista country in the world. 
Then let's take a look at this doodle i made for French Style :)

Vintage Fashion Style
1) The Brooks
Popularized by Louise Brooks, this looks is look alike what Audrey Hepburn from 'sunday at tiffanys' style, but ofc it's different (but still i think it's look alike) black short dress and cloche hat with some furry for the accessories.
2) The Petite
Usually wore by little french girl, around 1917. Big bows for hair accessories and white dress is typically used in this era, just like porcelain doll.
3) The Marie antoinette
of course, this style come from The Queen Marie Antoinette century (probably the most fashionista queen i've ever seen) Which means, from the 18th century. Ball gown, corsette, and big up-do hair.
4) The Evacuation
If you watch Narnia, then you'll now exactly what's like The evacuation style. It's all abut the double breast coat & the suitcase. you can read it more here
5) The Revolution
This one i saw it from HUGO movie. The style is very simple & very urban. Simple blazer, warm clothes and  berets (hat). You can found it mostly used by children.
6) The Outdoor
Boater and simple gown for take a walk, you can read it more here
7) The Bookclub
19th century style. Usually worn by teacher or women with education ( i didn't know more about this style). Try search hellen keller and you'll find more about this style :)
8) The Vogue
You'll see a lot of style like this in 1945-1960, usually in most woman magazine. You can see Anita O'day, Audrey hepburn and a lot of actress in this era worn this style :)
9) The English Noble woman
Loves Sherlock Holmes? Knows Irene Adler? Then you probably know a lot about this one. around 1870, and characterized by a gradual return to a narrow silhouette after the full-skirted fashion. There are soo many movies use this noble woman style and it ain't just sherlock holmes.
10) The Winter's Night
Maybe not as mainstream as double breast coat, but i think it's from the same century.
11) The French Army
No Details, you know what it's like army uniform in the World War II, right? if not, then you should go watch some WWII movies or Captain America.
12) The Maiden
Maybe you watch Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights and see catherine linton is using the same dress like this. Nah, that's called Morning/evening dress. The morning dress in the 1800s was designed to be worn primarily at home. Society ladies engaged in a series of social calls in the morning, calling at one anothers' homes. and fashion was an important part of the day. Ladies clothing styles featured the "Empire-line" silhouette. Empire-line dresses were closely fitted just below the the bustline with loose folds below.
