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 .
