More about Flappers
Flappers were known for their style, which largely emerged as a result of French fashions; and by the effect on dress of the rapid spread of American jazz and the popularization of dancing that accompanied it. Flapper dresses were straight and loose, leaving the arms bare and dropping the waistline to the hips. Silk or rayon stockings were held up by garters. Short hair, flattened breasts, and straight waists accentuated the look.
Although the appearance typically associated now with flappers - straight waists, short hair and a hemline above the knee - did not fully emerge until 1926, there was an early association in the public mind between unconventional appearance, outrageous behaviour and the word "flapper".
Despite all the scandal flappers generated, their look became fashionable in a toned-down form among even respectable older women. Most significantly, the flappers removed the corset from female fashion, raised skirt and gown hemlines and popularized short hair for women.
