The ‘Roaring Twenties’ was a time of liberation, innovation, fun, and fashion.
Many incredible fashion firsts happened during the era when women were no longer restricted to uncomfortable corsets, and wearing trousers became a style trend rather than a practical piece of clothing. Waistlines dropped and hemlines rose and it eas the era associated with the flappers, who danced the night away in clubs, and the glamourous art deco movement. It seemed for the first time, clothing was being made with what modern women wanted.
