Do you see old fashions coming back into style? #Fashion #FashionHistory #Style

On YouTube, I enjoy watching Nicole Rudolph’s videos about fashion in history, but this one about fashions that repeat themselves was particularly interesting to me.

If you’ve followed my doll history articles, which I posted on Tuesdays over the past 10 weeks or so, you’ll remember that a doll’s clothing isn’t always indicative of the era in which it was made. This video gives us a good reason why this is the case.

What are your thoughts about this video? Do you remember old fashion trends becoming new again when you were in high school? And if so, what “bygone era” trends do you remember?

  1. Hi, I had a lot of fun this summer, looking at female clothes in shops. I just discovered a lot of dresses I had made for my Barbie few months before! And many were exactly the same shape (even if doll’s clothes are usually simpler). It was very funny because I had chosen to make some dresses from the oldest patterns I have and some are very old fashioned! 🙂
