Fashion of the 1910's:
A common female hairstyle during this
era was the new 'bob'. “Hobble skirts" were extremely popular and were widest at the hips and
very narrow at the ankle. However during the War as more and more women
were forced to work, their activities demanded clothes that were better suited
to their new activities; such as; shirtwaists and tailored suits. The general
colours of clothing of the time were darker and simpler cuts became the norm.
Men usually wore trousers that were
cuffed and creased as well as waist coats. Three piece suits were extremely
popular at the time, especially if you could afford them, as well as gaiters.
Children's clothing during the war were heavily influenced
by the military such as the little boy's clothes. Girl's dresses and skirts
were cut down in length due to clothing rationing.
