HISTORY MATTERS, AND SO DO YOUR CLOTHES
Whether it's a shift in social norms, politics, culture, or technology, fashion has always indicated the current time in history. Over the course of the last century or so, fashion has shifted from prim-and-proper dresses to dad sneakers and suit sets. Click through to take a look at some of the most prominent fashion staples from every decade from the 20th century onward.
1900S: BUSTLE DRESS
Bustles were added to women's dresses as a padded undergarment starting in the late 19th century and into the early 20th century. They were primarily used to add fullness and support the drapery of the actual dress, considering many of them were made with heavy fabric. Bustles were worn under the skirt in the back of the dress, set just below the waist in order to prevent the skirt from dragging on the floor. Sometimes, bustles were worn in conjunction with crinolines, which were steel frames positioned under the skirt to support bustles and distend the rear section.
