trademarks reflect changes that took place over
more than a century. The Industrial Revolution
produced a rapid series of changes in women's
clothing and made possible the manufacture of
fashionable clothes. The revolt by women against
social and political restrictions in the 20th
Century was accompanied by the disappearance of the
corset. For the first time in 500 years, the
natural shape of women reappeared. After World War
I, women began to show their legs. By the
mid-1920s, skirts were long-waisted and stopped at
the knee.
