    Women's fashions of 1914 -

    1920 were heavily influenced by

    World War I, or the Great War,

    as well as the women's suffrage

    movement. Though clothing of

    this time is often referred to as

    Edwardian, in the strictest senseit is not, as King Edward had

    died.

    These are the the fashionsfeatured in the second season of

    the popular PBS drama

    Downton Abbey which is set

    between the years 1916 - 1919.

    By 1914, women's clothing had lost the rigid, tailored lines

    of the Edwardian period, and the styles of fashion's first great

    design genius, Paul Poiret, obliterated the need for wearing

    tight fitting corsets.

    Shortly before the outbreak of World War I, fashion had takenon a whole new look based on Orientalism with its soft

    drapery, and bold prints. The lines of Russian peasant costume

    appeared in hip length tunics, a style that lasted throughout

    the war years.

    During the war, as men went off to fight, women took on jobs

    formerly filled by men. Women and girls who previously

    worked as domestic servants took on jobs in munitions

    factories, performed administrative work, took work as

    drivers, nurses, and farm workers. They volunteered for

    organizations like the Red Cross, and joined the military.

    Many of the occupations demanded the wearing of uniforms,

    including trousers. A military look crept into fashion designs as

    well with military style tunic jackets, belts, and epaulets.

    British Women's Land Army Poster A new image of freedom and self respect led

    women away from traditional gender roles.

    They drove cars and demanded the right to

    vote.

    Before the war, Paris led the world of fashion.But due to the privations of war, and loss of

    communication between the US and Europe,

    New York emerged as a fashion leader with new

    designs based on a combination or femininity

    and practicality.During World War I, people took to a plainer

    lifestyle. Women stopped wearing jewelry, and

    the lavish clothing of the Edwardian period fell

    by the wayside. As women dressed for new

    roles, gender dictated dress codes relaxed.

    Skirts became shorter, as they often do during

    wartime and colors became sober and muted.

    Dating the Clothing Styles of theWorld War I Era

    1914 began with a strong E

    dwardian silhouette. Women wore long, narrow

    skirts that fell to the top of the foot, along with lacy shirtwaists. But the tunic

    effect introduced by Paul Poire, based on a Russian peasant look, came toblend with the military style tunic worn during the Great War.

    At the end of the Edwardian period, Paul Poiret, introduced, the jup colot for

    evening wear - a high waisted n tunic style dress worn with harem pants. As

    the world entered war, women were offered more tailored versions of the look

    which included military details along with checks and stripes.

    Jeanne Paquine, the first woman to gain international fame in the world of

    fashion, created garments for the new, more active woman. Her version of the

    hobble skirt (a narrow skirt that restricted a woman's stride) included pleats

    for ease of movement. Her fashion designs mixed tailoring with femimine

    drapery.

    19141919 fashion

    The spring of 1914 saw a new fashion trend called the war

    crinoline which featured a bell shaped skirt and a wide over skirt.

    The season also offered sloped shoulders and wide collars. But

    the use of so much fabric was soon viewed as wasteful duringwartime and critics called for more conservative use of cloth.

    In 1915, hemlines rose to mid-calf and traditionalists complained

    of immodesty.

    By 1918, skirts grew narrow again and hemlines fell to below the

    calf.1919 saw longer dresses with clean lines and a normal waist.

    1918s -Roaring 20s

    In 1911, the fashion show was a new phenomenon. Previously,

    designers had worked with individual clients to create new

    combinations of style, cut, and the fabrics used in the creation

    of fashionable clothing for a more personalized look.Paul Poiret's 1911 traveling fashion show appeared at charity

    benefits, theaters, and department stores. He took his show to

    the US in 1913. Soon, other designers followed suit.

    In 1913, a New York film company documented a twice yearly

    show, offering a look at couture to the masses. Before the

    advent of fashion models, actresses, singers, and dancers

    modeled the clothing.

    During World War I, fashion shows were organized to help raise

    funds for the war effort. And in 1914, Edna Woolman Chase, the

    editor ofVogueput on a fashion show to display the work of

    New York designers.Led by Paul Poiret, French couture houses banded together to

    form a syndicate to thwart design piracy. Customers and

    businesses who wanted to reproduce couture designs were

    charged a copy right fee and fashion shows were invitation only.

    1914 - 1920 in Shoes

    During theGreat War, higher hemlinesexposed a gap between the tip of the boot

    and a skirt hem. The look distracted from

    the overall appearance of an outfit, so the

    high button boots of the past wereabandoned.

    Women wore shoes with heels that featured

    a slight curve.
