WW1 fashion - As it was. Is. And Ever Will Be!
"What absurd clothes, my dear; besides; you really look a little fast." Cartoon by G. E. Peto in The Sketch, 1915 commenting on the changing silhouette of women's fashion in response to war. Whereas prior to the war, the hobble skirt had reigned among young, fashionable types; war work required shorter and wider skirts to allow freedom of movement
