Women's Fashion in the 1920s

 As the the transportation, architecture, and custom of society changed, so did the fashion of women. Women's dresses became more colorful and elegant, but also lighter and shorter. Outfits were out together more like art by using handbag, jewelry, hats, and stocking to create a harmonic style. New fashions later came out for women who wanted to look elegant, but couldn't afford the price, making fashion cheaper. Styles of clothing also depended on the occupation allowing for a more practical dress. In this this century flappers, trendy women, started wearing short dresses just below the knee, had shorter cut hair, and wore make-up.
