Around the time period of the early 20th century, the main style was Victorian. Women wore strictly only dress, big sleeves and high collars. For adult women, hair must always be in a bun. Clothing then similar to fashions from 16th-early 20th century.

	1920,” Year of the Flappers,” “The Jazz Age.” Girls were now wearing shorter cropped dresses and skirts. Crossword puzzle stockings were the big “have to have.” Satin and lace were probably the most common and popular materials. The skirts were getting so short for those times that you could see the stocking tops!..*gasp*..Hair was mostly parted on the side and curled to the head.
1930’s were close to the Depression years. People were poorer so fashion then was not a huge deal, staying alive and your family was. Short sleeves and verry tight belts were common. Then, styled hats and wild patterns were introduced, and most of the rich people had an assortment of fur pleats. The more elite people rocked only one glove, a clutch purse, and slant line cut material.

During the 1940’s due to war, fashion still was not a huge deal. War and sports clothing were obviously very popular. The infamous year of CoCo Chanel’s “disappearance” when her secret romance with a high Nazi official surfaced…*gasp*…Army hats were very popular. For young girls, everyone had to have bobby socks, plaid skirts, and linen jackets with wide shoulders. Dior entered the fashion realm with controversial high heels and corsettes. Parts and separates became popular along with the army braid hair style.
