Soon we’ll begin looking back to the 1990s with the same fondness we have for the 1920s–both were periods of liberalism and prosperity followed by stock market upheaval and conservative backlash. But one thing the ’20s did much better than the ’90s was fashion: Women stopped wearing corsets and started dressing in calf-baring, boxy chemises–what we know today as flapper apparel. Take a glimpse at some of these gorgeous frocks at Painting the Town: 1920s High Style, an exhibit at Fashion on Main in the Universities Center at Dallas, 1901 Main St. The exhibit is open noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays through December 18. Call 214-752-8151.
Thursdays, Fridays, 12-5 p.m. Starts: Oct. 9. Continues through Dec. 18, 2009
