Crazy Society

Good Lord, look at the waist on that young lady, and Vogue was setting the standard for women in 1909, as in the decades since. What a crazy society we live in.

Someone call the Decency League! That woman is showing too much of her upper chest and I can see her (gasp!) ankles!

I'm not sure it's a picture about "modern" mode. In 1909, women did not dress like this.

Do a quick Google search for 1909 fashion and for the most part the waists are just as tiny or tinier. And the clothes are akin, perhaps a bit more conservative. :)

I just finished up this era in my Fashion History class. 1909 was actually around the time that the lower hem was just beginning to rise, and the corsette had not left its rib breaking pedestal.
