1920's Romance- pastel

I wanted to find out the history of pastel colours. And I started in the 20's, fashion garments where heavily embellished, 'romantic' and pastel colours where very popular. The colours where soft and the fabrics where floaty and lose. Women appeared very feminine in the 20's, they wanted to look elegant and lady like. Fur was also used, although it was expensive at the time, it was associated with glamour and wealth.
 
This dress is a perfect example, its lose fitting, the peach colour is complimented by the duck egg blue ribbon and the embellished flowers sewn in dusky pink and green. The lace makes the dress even more feminine, tying it all together.
