The 1900's

The Silhouette

"The shape of dresses seemed to be based on an S-shaped curve.  Typical dresses had high, boned collars, full, pouched bodices, and skirts that were flat in front and emphasized a rounded hipline in the back.  After hugging the hips, skirts flared out to a trumpet shape at the bottom.  The shape was achieved by goring, with skirts close-fitted to the knee in front, then full and flared to the hem.  Some had back pleats.

"Tailormades and shirtwaist styles were made in imitation of men's shirts.  These were an important item of clothing for women.  Jackets varied in length from waist to below the hip.  Shorter jackets were generally fitted; long jackets were sometimes loose and sacquelike.  Many imitated the cut of men's jackets."
