As a continuation of yesterday's onslaught of big bows, I thought a little piccie post would finish it off nicely.  Am I the only numpty who DIDN'T know the origins of the term 'flapper' and thought it was just came about from flighty gals who hitched up their skirts a bit and had their hair shingled?

On another note, the crips white sailor dress with the chunky flat lace-up boots is really working for me...

"A young worker mends army uniforms in America. Her sailor suit-style is typical of childrenswear at the time. Boys would have worn a similar top, but with trousers. The bows which girls wore in their hair became known as 'flappers' because of the way they fell onto the head. The name would stick with this generation, as they grew up in the Twenties."

(Again, with help from the Beautiful Century who very laboriously scanned the pic from Decades of Fashion).
