With the death of Queen Victoria, the mourning period disappeared and a new Queen came into power. Alexandra of Denmark became the new Queen after marrying Prince Edward VII. Queen Alexandra set a bunch of the fashion trends of this era such as the use of pastel colors in outfits rather than the dark colors that were previously worn from Queen Victoria’s reign. Queen Alexandra popularized the Tea Gown which was a very popular dress during this era. The crinoline skirt started to fade away and the natural silhouette of the woman’s body started to be highlighted more instead of hiding it. In 1909, Ford mass- produced the Model T automobile for the first time which had everyone using automobiles to get around. The Gibson Girl was the first fashion icon of this time that wasn’t royalty or an actual person. The Gibson Girl was created by Charles Dana Gibson and was seen wearing a shirtwaist tucked into a trumpet skirt with her hair up in a chignon style. The creation of the Gibson Girl was a step forward to the more comfortable silhouette for women. Jean Patou was an influential designer during this time period with his line in the late teens as well as his use of geometric patterns in his pieces. Women’s Day Wear

Women of the 1920’s ditched the corsets, hoop skirts, and brought in the short dresses and scandalous clothing. Women were now seen going to the bars for fun and to let loose after the war time. The 1920’s got the nickname of the “Roaring 20’s” during this time because everyone was having fun and partying. The prohibition of alcohol happened during this time period but restricting alcohol didn’t stop people from having their fun. In response to the prohibition act, speakeasies were built in popular cities to provide a private area for people to hang out and drink alcohol in secrecy. The Garconne and Flapper style of dress were both very big in the 20’s because they gave more freedom to the women who were previously told by male designers what to wear. Coco Chanel inspired women to follow this free movement with wearing the clothing that they wanted. The Garconne style was very slender and was paired with a bob hairstyle while the Flapper look included short dresses with rolled at the knees, and a cloche hat. The 1920’s in the United States were a very glamorous time that included lots of glitz and glam. The Art Deco was the aesthetic of the 1920’s bringing in lots of geometric patterns. Howard Carter found King Tut’s tomb in Egypt in 1922 which inspired a lot of the home decor and interior design of the time as well as jewelry and fashion pieces. Women’s Day Wear

The 1930’s started with the Stock Market Crash of October 29, 1929 which led to the Great Depression. During this time, families would go to the movies, which only costed a nickel making it financially available for almost every family. They would go to the movies to escape reality which became known as “escapism.” The fashion focus shifted to the Hollywood movie screens because of the escapism movement. People during this time wanted to be just like these Hollywood movie stars not only for the way they dressed but their whole lifestyle. Hemlines of the 1930’s moved back down to the ankle and waistlines followed the natural waist. The hemline of the 1930s wanted to hug the woman’s curves which created a feminine silhouette.

The 1940’s began with World War II which meant the men all went to war and the women were left back at home to work jobs that the men who went to war would’ve otherwise taken such as caring for the farm and working in the factories. Around 15 million men were drafted for combat at this time. The 1940’s was a huge revolution for fashion saying that women were moving out of only wearing dresses on a day to day basis and were now wearing pants. The women would wear pants to go to work in the factories which started the “Rosie the Riveter” campaign and dress style. Women strived to be like Rosie the Riveter in this time period because she was a very empowering character for the working woman. These women sporting the Rosie look were called the “everyday Rosies.” A major designer of the 40’s was Claire McCardel who was known for the Monastic dress and the cheap dress. During this time, the United States created a rationing system that was based on coupons. Every family got a set amount of coupons for the year that could be used on everyday items such as food, clothing, and household items. After the war was over, men returned back to their homes and took back their jobs that the women were holding at the time and the women went back to being housewives yet again. Women’s Daywear
