Great War fashion : tales from the history wardrobe
Adlington, L. J. (Lucy J.), 1970-2013
Books
'Great War Fashion' follows the revolution in women's lives and aspirations during the second decade of the 20th century, as reflected in costume and appearance. We open the wardrobe in the years before the outbreak of war to explore the contrast between the stiff, mono-bosomed ideal of Edwardian womanhood and the gossamer gowns draped round her. While suffragettes battle social and legal restrictions, fashion literally hobbles women with narrow skirts and thigh-length corsets.
