Luka drawing commission!
Added 2025-01-09 17:53:30 +0000 UTCBreak time from working! Here is your piece, Luka! This style is what I think your OC would have looked like with 1920s fashion.
US history time. :D
Basically, women's fashion in the US 1920s exhibited a long waist illusion (think low-slung sashes or belts down on the hips), and long, rectangular-shaped tops and dresses. As pretty as modern "Gatsby" 1920s style dresses are, they're form-fitting, which was not accurate for the 1920s. Remember, women were emerging from the strict Victorian times, which expected them to squeeze themselves into tiny corsets. Shapeless clothes in the 1920s allowed them to breathe and move freely.
Short bob hair styles were also the rage; it was a symbol of a woman's sexual freedom and her bravery to break societal norms. Yes, some women did keep their hair long, but usually it was styled up, as shown here.
Her stockings are rolled down, and you can just see the fawn mottling spots on her doe legs. Rolling down the stockings was also a daring fashion statement, just giving a bit of exposure to the knees. Fun fact, some women added rouge to their knees to give them a rosy glow, which was thought to suggest good health.

Alastor's annoyed look with his ears pinned back, her large doe like eyes, Alastor's legs and posture looking just like a graceful deer and her copying his exact step. So much detail and expression!! Thank you for the history lesson ❤️ I did not know that about stockings during that time. The only historical fact I do know about stockings is from the 1940s. Stockings had a seam in the back at that time and when there was a shortage of stockings due to WWII, women would draw a line down the backs of their legs to imitate wearing stockings if they couldn't get their hands on a pair.
