The Roaring 20s overlaps the Prohibition Era in 1925. The Jazz Age, inventions, sculpturing a mountain, writing great novels, and bootlegging. This video will share with you my journey into the era, the make-up, and sewing a 1925 Fringe Front Dress. Then I take it all to A Gatsby Fundraiser! A magical evening!
