  NOTE ON HOW I USE BOOKS:<br>I filmed the books because I wanted to signal to you my research is grounded mainly in respected and published books. I hope they serve like citations in an essay. I left captions in the shot so you could pause and read them if you wish. Info on books is in the description box and are listed at <a href="http://amazon.com/shop/zoehong">amazon.com/shop/zoehong</a>

  Do continue the series! So much of this just looks &quot;today.&quot; When did current fashions really start? Decades ago, I think.

  Love the 30s fashion. Everyone loves the 50s but I fell in love with this era when I did a paper for my Intro to Fashion class. I especially love the escapism that Hollywood films and fashion brought to the era.

  I would love to see more fashion videos based on the 20&apos;s, 30&apos;s &amp; 40&apos;s.

  When I first found your channel, my goal was simply to learn to draw a basic pattern. I&apos;ve since consumed massive amounts of information on not just patternmaking but how to construct the piece, where the roots of my inspirations come from, etc.. I absolutely love this series and your channel! Thank you for uploading (and for including resources, as well)!

  Please, the way you explain fashion as a &quot;continuum&quot; is excellent and remarkable.<br>Besides your pronunciation of the English language is remarkably clear and perfect as a natural drop pearl.<br><br>It would be an enormous pleasure for us to see how you navigate fashion across time.<br><br>You deserve my best applause.<br><br>Thank you so much.

  The books are amazing. This is my favorite era for clothes, and grew up watching these movies at a retro theater in the 1970&apos;s. All the movies from the 1930&apos;s, and 1940&apos;s. What a blessing.

  Really enjoyed this. I’ve been watching lots of old films and loving the fashion. Surprised by some of the really risqué clothing styles at that time.

  The shoes from the 30s! Just ask Karolina Zebrowska, it’s (in her opinion) the best decade for shoes.

  Maybe depression era diy clothing?<br><br>Flour sack dresses,<br>Wool blanket coats with sheepskin rather than fine fur or mouton. That sort of thing.

  I’ve been watching videos from historical costumers and fashion historians a lot recently, and it’s so cool and interesting how you all cover fashion history in different ways! You talk about it from more of a business sense and what influenced big trends, while they (especially costumers) talk more about how construction techniques changed and how fashionable silhouettes were achieved. Of course there’s some overlap, but I just think it’s really cool and interesting!
