Your students have taken a decade not known for beautiful clothing and made me question my assumptions about the period!

I find the shapes in this era by and large really hilarious, and yes, it's kind of cool to see those clothes done beautifully. Like, i still think the silhouette is funny, but it can also be really sharp-looking at the same time!
