Next class period we are celebrating the end of the war with a party wahoooooo- if you are looking for some extra points see below (this is the handout I gave you after the test) 

Note from Mrs. Perez

            I want to end WWI with a bang, so we are going to have a 1920’s party!  We will eat and study at the same time; it should be a blast.  I want you to think Great Gatsby or Singing in the Rain.  These would be great places to get inspiration from.  You will have the opportunity to volunteer for a food assignment and bringing it to share with the class, you are not required to bring something if you do not want to do so.  If you would like to dress up in period attire as well that is worth extra credit points.  Descriptions of attire are below. 

Ladies - 1920s
The silhouette of the 1920s was straight and angular and the boyish figure, with flat bosom and no hips, was the ideal. Waistlines dropped to the hip or disappeared all together.
      

At the beginning of the decade, skirts were still long, almost ankle-length. It was not until 1924 that skirts really became shorter, reaching mid-calf even for evening wear. The shortest skirts of the decade, stopping just below the knee, appeared in 1926-1927. In the last few years of the decade, skirts often used panels, drapes, and pointed segments to achieve uneven hemlines. This led to a lengthening of the hemline by decade's end.

  

Short hair was universally popular throughout the decade. Those who chose to retain their long hair wore it pulled back into deep waves over the ears. It was then coiled into a chignon or knot at the nape of the neck. Cloche hats and headbands that wrapped around the forehead were common.  Makeup was obvious, with red lips, powdered skin, and dark eyes.
      

To approximate the style of the period, look for a low-waisted or straight dress such as a "tank" style or "slip" dress. Add a long rope necklace--preferably pearls. Modern character dance shoes with a small heel are appropriate for this period.

Gentlemen
From the 1920s through the end of World War II, tailcoats were the preferred dress for the most formal occasions, and were worn with white waistcoat and tie. Often pants were worn a little short so that men’s socks would show.  Sweaters, bow ties, suspenders and vests were also common apparel. 

Men's hats were usually worn depending on their class, with upper class citizens usually wearing top hats or a homburg hat. Middle class men wore either a fedora, bowler hat or a trilby hat. During the summer months a straw boater was popular for upper class and middle class men. Working-class men wore a standard newsboy cap or a flat cap.

Generally, evening wear consisted of the tuxedo in black or midnight blue. Tuxedos had either rolled collars faced in silk or notched collars. Single-breasted styles were preferred in the 1920s, double-breasted styles in the 1930s. From the late '20s on, some men substituted a cummerbund for the waistcoat.
