1910s in Fashion


-Softer than 1900s, soft drapery

-Hobble Skirt- narrow at the hem, shorter to the ankle

-V-neck opening

-Coat cocoon or Kimono shaped (oriental influence)

-Tunic over a long underskirt

-WWI- abandon the underskirt and just wear the tunic or overskirt by itself


- National Standard Dress- utility garment-metal buckles instead of hooks and eyes

-Accessory:
. Hat- fit the head closely- simple felts, turbans, and tulles
. Feather- stuck straight up into the air
. Footwear- Tango Shoes, stockings, gaiter, Laced shoes-lower heel/round toes/WWI

-Paul Poiret
