Flappers didn’t just wake up and decide to dress like that at random to Fight The System

Their style was rebellious against traditional feminine ideals in a lot of ways, but early 1920s fashion WAS an organic evolution of 1910s fashion

The seeds were planted way earlier than everyone thinks

People tend to forget that in their haste to establish the ways in which flapper style was different from what came before

#1920s #historical fashion #vintage fashion #flappers #I’m forever here for busting the myth that the 1920s were a Perfect Liberated Feminist Utopia #mostly because it throws pre-20s women under the bus and is overly simplistic #my room is too stuffy to sleep but it’s going to storm so I had to close the windows #and I’m very stressed so sleep isn’t coming easy #time to criticize public perception of the 1920s!
