world war 1 women fashion

world war 1 women fashion  biography

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 sense it is not, as King Edward had died. These are the the fashions of the day encompassed 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.
