Since today was the first day of school for my kids, I decided to post a cute little school dress from 1919.Clara’s dress is a post World War I fashion. The war had a huge influence on fashion, as the flowing andfrivolous styles of the early 1910s gave way to more practical fashions duringthe war. Clothing became more structured, borrowing details from militaryuniforms. Hemlines gradually became shorter as material was rationed.
Thisdress reflects military styling with the cuffed sleeves, yoke details, and thebox pleats on the skirt. Patch pockets add a practical, cute detail to thedress.
Clara’s shoes are simple slip-on shoes with low heels and alittle ribbon bow. The tall socks are simple, and mostly the same style as previous decades.
Clara has a soft felt cloche hat with a wideribbon woven into the brim. A cute pom-pom adds a whimsical detail to the hat.
Hat styles were also transformed by World War I. At the beginning of the decade hats had wide, floppy brims, but by the end of the decade hats had pretty narrow brims.
