1930s

Explore Miskonduct's great range of 1930s dresses and shop the look of 30s style icons Marlene Dietrich, Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis, and Greta Garbo. 1930s fashion grew out of the lasting effects of the Great Depression. Hollywood’s response was to offer an escape from reality through opulent costuming and portraying decadent lifestyles. Garments were well tailored. Signature pieces included high-waisted sailor pants, bias cut midi length dresses and T-strap heels. Ladies would wear their day dresses by day, and cocktail dresses by night. Accessories were how everyday people with little expendable income decorated themselves as costume jewellery became more accessible and affordable. For 30s fashion explore specialist brands such as Pleaser, Hell Bunny, Voodoo Vixen, and 20th Century Foxy.
