One of the main reasons Brian and I started this blog was to inform our hobo wedding guests about Depression Era clothing so they, too, can dress the part. Over the past year I have been collecting 1930s dresses, particularly those made from patterned
feedsack fabric, for myself and my bridesmaids to wear. Color photos of period clothing are scarce and wearable garments from the 1930s can be hard to find and often expensive. Here's some dresses I've found on
Etsy that would be appropriate for a casual affair like our back yard hobo wedding, all authentic Depression era garments, all under $100.
Remember family and friends, the key is to dress comfortably so you can have a fun time! You're not required to dress in authentic 1930s clothing, just encouraged to! More inspirations soon ...

ReplyDeleteLove that Gingham dress!
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Jenny! I might have to buy it. Maria (Adelaide's Homesewn) offered it to me before she listed it, but I hesitated for some reason. She'll be at the wedding so maybe she should wear it. :)
