Research

To begin my project, I began to look at styles from history and how they have evolved. Here I have focused on the shapes of women's clothing in the early 20th century. The figure was very tight around the waist, the necks were extremely high and the shoes covered the feet to the ankle so that no skin was seen. I then demonstrated the fashion of the 1920's that completely contrasts the opposite illustrations. The sheer fabric and loose fit allowed for women to become more independent in what they wanted to look like. They could dress in boy fitting clothes and show flesh (without sheer fabrics or not). This is something I want to focus on when I'm looking at present fashion as sheer has been frequently used in 13/14 style.
