The Jazz Age, Female Fashion 1925-35
The years surrounding the First World War saw significant changes to many women’s lives, which were reflected in the clothes they wore. From restrictive, if beautiful, dresses of the Edwardian Era to the more emancipated styles of the early 1920s, a social revolution was being set in motion, initially voiced by the suffragettes, and then accelerated during the war as women took over what had been traditionally men’s roles in munitions factories, in non-combatant roles in the military, notable as nurses, and elsewhere. Displayed here are clothes which represent these changes, from an elegant ensemble from the early years of the 20th Century, to the much looser and freer dress styles which emerged in the 1920s.
