Fashions Through the Decades Skirt lengths are said to move up in good economic times and down in bad. This is a fun look at the fashions that reflected the times of the eras. The Gibson girl and her tightly corseted ensemble kicked off the 1900’s, followed by the Edwardian period of all white and delicious lace. The flappers with their shockingly short skirts danced their way through the roaring ‘20s. The Great Depression divided the rich and the poor of the ‘30s with elegant evening gowns and homemade feed sack dresses. World War II influenced fashions in a military tone giving way to Christian Dior’s “New Look” at the end of the ‘40s. Sliding into the ‘50s there is only one silhouette, the hourglass, and it was shown off in either fitted clothes or exaggerated shapes made with the help of petticoats, corsets, and brassieres.
