The first comprehensive study of women''s dress reform
During the latter half of the nineteenth and the first decade of the twentieth centuries, books, periodicals, and newspapers were rich in discussions related to women''s roles, health, beauty, and dress. Many believed that restrictive and unwieldy women''s fashions compromised health, distorted women''s true physical beauty, and curtailed the potential role of women in society. Reforming Women''s Fashion, 1850-1920 focuses on the efforts toward reforming women''s dress that took place in Europe and America during this period and the types of garments adopted by women to overcome the challenges posed by fashionable dress.

Americans began the twentieth century standing in Europe's sartorial shadow, yet ended by outfitting the world in blue jeans, T-shirts and sneakers. How did this come about? What changes in American culture were reflected in fashion? What role did popular culture play? This important overview of American fashion in the twentieth century considers how Americans went from imitating British and French fashion to developing their own sense of style. It examines such influences on dress as class, jazz and hip hop, war, the space race, movies, television and sports. Further, the book shows how gender, psychology, advertising, public policy, shifting family values, the American design movement and expertise in mass production profoundly influenced an American style that has been exported across the globe. From New York City's Bohemians to Hollywood's stars, Twentieth-Century American Fashion reveals the continuing importance of clothing to American identity and individual experience.
