Thing 1: Always suspected, but now confirmed: overall, I really don't like 1940s style shoes as much as the other decades! 20s is probably my favorite, really....which is amusing because I dislike the dresses, but eh well. (Am currently browsing accessories for the Reading Air Show we're going to crash this summer, which is WW2.) I do like the original designs from Royal Vintage but maybe not quite $140+ worth, haha.

(No I could not possibly wear obviously 1920s shoes to a WW2 event! I cheerfully mix decades with hair, shoes, and clothes when I wear vintage on a day-to-day basis, but this is different.)

Thing 2: When I relist this painted petticoat (waiting til I'm done both of them, as that would just be my luck that another person decides they want one at this inopportune time!), I'm going to charge more for it! I forgot how damn long the second design takes to paint. Oyyyyy.

I too don't like the 40s shoes. But in my case, I do not like the fashion style neither, or hairstyle. I'm a flapper times lover, can't fight against it:) xx

I love the *idea* of the 20s - history-wise it's fascinating, fast-paced, naughty, and very modern! The actual clothes have never really got me excited though. But I know many people who make and wear lovely 20s things! Just not so much me, haha.

Probably because the 40s fashion doesn't go with me. But I can see when a lady wearing 40s elegant clothes and/or gloves and hats suits that fashion. It goes very beautifully with you:)

I agree with you on 20s over 40s.

They're just so much cuter! The heel shapes are prettier, and I can't help but love me a good t-strap shoe. Silly clunky 40s!
