Description |
The concept of "loosening up" women's fashions in the 1920s continued, reflecting a greater presence of women in the workforce, an increased voice in political matters, and an overall shift towards women's role in society. The disappearance of the constraints of the tight bodice and corset in costuming reflected this comparative "freeing up" of women in this period. |
