1910-1919 Fashion

Women's fashion industry expanded dramatically after the invention of the sewing machine in the mi-19th century. By 1910, the trend towards looser, lighter clothing picked up during this time compared to the tight form from the 1900 decade before. Men's clothing and fashion trends changed very little from the previous decades. They stuck to preferred military looks, and bowler hats.
