How Women's Clothing Was Obtained in the United States in the 1910s: Based on a Comparison between Women's Magazines and Fashion Magazines
The United States developed ready-made clothing. Ready-made women's clothing appeared in the 1910s, with ready-made men's clothing having appeared before then. However, women's magazine and fashion magazines in the 1910s contained articles about home-sewing and made-to-order. Home-sewing and made-to-order were ways of obtaining clothing before ready-made first appeared.
Middle-class women subscribed to women's magazines and fashion magazines, and obtained clothing by home-sewing or made-to-order. Although they bought heavier ready-made clothing or undergarments, it took a long time before buying ready-made women's clothing became commonplace.
This paper focuses on how clothing was obtained in the United States, with an emphasis on the late 1910s, with references to articles and advertisements in magazines such as
Ladies Home Journal and
Harper's Bazaar.
